South Dakota Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

by Seth Azria on 3/10/2023

If you receive a traffic conviction in New York State, South Dakota will be notified of the offense as both states are members of the Driver License Compact.  

South Dakota uses a points system, which assigns certain point values to different driving offenses and traffic violations.  Any driver who accrues 15 points in 12 consecutive months or 22 points in 24 consecutive months, is subject to suspension.  

Points are assessed on out-of-state-convictions just as if the violations were committed in South Dakota.

If you are a South Dakota driver and want to obtain a copy of your driving record, you may do so here.

Insurance Premium Increases are Still a Concern

Most importantly, it is likely your insurance company will learn of your New York conviction and may increase your premiums or drop coverage. It remains important to mitigate the charge as much as possible.

Minimize the Effect of All Traffic Tickets

Our goal at Azria & Bruffett is to minimize the effect of your New York traffic ticket both in New York and in your home state. One important point to keep in mind is that even if you are licensed in South Dakota, the New York State DMV will still fine you if you accumulate 6 points in any 18 month period - these fines are called a “Driver Responsibility Assessments.”

Thank you. I highly appreciate the professional work that you've done in my case resulting in 0 points.

Excellent Lawyer

My job requires me to have a clean driving record. I recently received a ticket in Hancock township and hired Seth. He was able to get the ticket reduced to a non moving violation so no points on my license. Excellent attorney, very responsive and great staff. I highly recommend him.

David Bruffett resolved Speeding Violation very smartely. I contacted Attorney David receiving a speeding ticket over 100mph in NY, being a NJ driver. David was very professional and very clear on how to handle the issue (had very high points ticket but thanks to David who turned a stressful incident into a quick, easy and painless situation). Within a few months the issue was resolved and we are entirely satisfied with the outcome. I must say that David's help, support and guidance was very professional as well! I highly recommend David, if you have any traffic speeding tickets in the NY state. I found his services remarkable. He delivered more then he promised. I guess that what makes any client happy.

Had 2 tickets that he helped get rid of the points added onto my license. Very helpful and friendly about answering questions on the process. He went in place for me in court and defended. All I had to do was email him information over email (and pay of course).
