Special Cases and Considerations

In certain special cases and considerations, additional expertise may be required, such as for commercial drivers, out-of-state drivers, and those with multiple offenses. Gina M Wicik provides legal services to clients who have been issued tickets for moving violations in New York and New Jersey.Commercial Drivers

Given the potentially more serious repercussions for traffic offenses committed by commercial drivers, it is essential to enlist the services of an attorney with expertise in this field. Commercial drivers must obtain and maintain a commercial driver’s license (CDL) from their home state and adhere to the regulations stipulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Department of Transportation (DOT).
An attorney with experience in handling commercial driver cases can ensure that your rights are protected and help you navigate the specific legal requirements for commercial drivers.

Out of State Drivers

Out-of-state convictions do not add points to your New York driving record unless those convictions happened in Ontario or Quebec.

Out-of-state drivers should consider a lawyer with experience in handling cases for non-residents to guarantee proper representation and knowledge of state-specific laws. The legal processes for out-of-state drivers may differ depending on the state, and it’s essential to consult with the particular state’s DMV for the precise process. By choosing a lawyer familiar with handling cases for non-residents, you can ensure that you receive the best possible representation, regardless of your home state.

Multiple Offenses

Those with multiple offenses may necessitate a more assertive defense approach and an attorney experienced in managing complex cases.

How Does The New York Point System Work

The New York Driver Violation Point Systems helps the Department of Motor Vehicles identify high-risk drivers. If you are considered high risk, you may have your drivers license suspended or revoked, incur fees and State surcharges, or have to pay large insurance premiums. The New York State DMV may suspend your license if you incur 10 or more points within an 18 month period. If you receive 6 or more points on your NYS driving record within a period of 18 months a Driver Assessment Fee will be assessed on you by the DMV, the fees start at $100.00 a year for a total of 3 years, any additional points received within that 3 year period will add an additional $75.00 per point to the yearly surcharge.
