Depending on the type of violation, there are a few different ramifications to consider whenever you’ve received a traffic ticket:
Points: Though not all traffic violations carry points, there are a good share that do, and it is important to note that if your license accumulates over 11 points within an 18 month period, your license may be suspended.
Insurance: If you are convicted of a NYC traffic ticket, it is likely you’ll see a substantial increase on your auto insurance premium.
Additional Fines: In certain situations, you may be liable for what’s known as the Driver’s Responsibility Assessment, which entails an additional fee that is due annually over the course of 3 years.
