New York State DMV Ticket Points

As you can see below, New York State has dozens of ways to place points on your license. Figuring out what violation equals what penalty and what that can mean to your license and your insurance rates can be a full time job. Also, calculating which points to add up to determine whether you have accumulated too many points is complex. The chart below will provide you with the basics. Should you find yourself on the receiving end of a traffic ticket, consider allowing us to try and minimize the impact (or perhaps even eliminate it completely).
