may i ask if this was due to an alcohol-related incident?
yes, how long will the restriction be?
it remains in effect for 5 years from the date you receive your drivers licence.
What happens if I don't respond to my ticket after receiving a notice of suspension in my alcohol-related incident?
Then you will automatically be convicted of the charge. This is known as a default conviction. The default conviction is equivalent to a guilty finding.
Who is processing the tickets? The DMV?
DMV's Traffic Violations Bureau TVB processes tickets for non-criminal moving traffic violations issued in the five boroughs of New York City. For more information about the TVB, you can read our brochure.
Can certain violations cause the suspension of my license?
Yes. Some convictions can cause the suspension or the revocation of your driver license. See Suspensions and Revocations or read the DMV brochure "Suppose Your License Were Taken Away".
Will do. If I want to answer my ticket, can I send my response by mail?
Yes, you can mail your response to us.
I'll send the envelope on the way today. What about violations in other parts of NY?
