Flashing High Beams OK, Leaving Them On is Not

by Seth Azria on 12/27/2023

Failure to dim headlights is a 2 -point offense with a maximum fine of $150 plus a $93 surcharge. If you were charged with this violation, a critical fact will be if you flashed the high beams or left them on for oncoming traffic.

Just flashing high beam headlights, alone, is not a violation of the law requiring dimming of headlights to prevent dazzling light from interfering with oncoming motorists. Vehicle and Traffic Law § 375(3), People v. Rose, 67 A.D.3d 1447 (4th Dep't 2009).

I’d like to thank you very much. I was very worried about my traffic ticket because I am a cdl truck driver. Any ticket is really dangerous for me because I shouldn't have any points. But Mr. Azria solved all these issues. I am very happy to get this perfect result. 0 points! My best wishes to you. Thanks again.

David Bruffett is an amazing lawyer. I had trouble finding someone in Syracuse who I could trust and who was out for my best interest and not just chasing dollar signs. Once I contacted Mr. Bruffett, I immediately felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I had 6 outstanding tickets and he was able to get 2 dismissed and the rest all reduced to non moving violations with extremely reasonable fines. I could not recommend him enough. Whether you have simple speeding tickets or a suspended license charge, Azria & Bruffett's Firm is truly the place to go. Thanks again David.
Best regards, Casey N.

Tremendous Help!
