    Car Seat and Seat Belt Laws in New York State

    A new New York State law was enforced on November 1, 2019: any child under the age of 2 who is riding in a vehicle is required to be in a rear-facing car seat. If a child outgrows an infant-only seat before reaching his or her second birthday, a convertible or all-in-one car seat with higher rear-facing height and weight limits should be installed in the rear-facing position until the child reaches the rear-facing weight or height limit set by the car seat manufacturer.

    HOW LONG DO POINTS STAY ON YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE?

    ​Being convicted for a traffic violation can become a real headache—and an expense. For every traffic violation with which you are charged, if the traffic court finds you guilty you can face serious penalties, including having points added to your license. For example, in New York State, if you're convicted of speeding 25 miles over the posted speed limit you can receive 6 points on your license and if you are convicted of improper cell phone use you can receive 5 points on y

    DON'T Have Your Driver's License Suspended or Revoked: What you need to know

    My clients are inevitably shocked, dismayed, and frustrated when they have their driver's licenses suspended. The most common reasons for getting a definite suspension order in New York State are: not having automobile liability insurance having a conviction for an alcohol or drugged driving charge having received multiple traffic violations, totaling 11 points within an 18-month period not following the rules for junior drivers The reasons for receiving an indefinite suspens

    Holiday Driving and HOV Lane Laws

    Yes, you're in a rush. Yes, it's tempting when you're driving on a highway to want to drive in the less congested HOV lane. But, if you're driving alone, resist the temptation! HOV lanes are High Occupancy Vehicle lanes that are designated for cars that contain at least two people. If you're caught driving in an HOV lane without a passenger during specified rush hours, you will generally be charged with a 2-point violation and a fine of over $100. Even if you're driving in a

    BIKE VIOLATIONS IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY AND NEW YORK CITY

    Bike share programs in Westchester and New York City have led to many more summonses being dispensed for cycling violations. Riding on city sidewalks, not stopping at red lights and stop signs, riding at excessive speed, and not riding on the right hand side of the road, are some of the offenses that can lead to getting a traffic ticket when biking. To dissuade cyclists from committing these illegal behaviors, White Plains is expected to soon raise the fine for cycling violat

    Didn't Pay Your State Taxes? Your Driver's License May Be Suspended

    If you're behind on paying your New York State taxes, you may be surprised to find out that you may be in danger of losing your driving privileges. In 2013, a joint effort was made between the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance and the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), with a plan to revoke the driving privileges of New York residents who have tax debts. The New York State Driver's License Suspension program specifies that if a resident has amassed m

    Traffic Tickets for Double Parking

    Many parents assume that it's perfectly okay to double park outside a school when running inside to drop off or pick up their children at the beginning or end of the day. And so many were surprised last year when media reported that parents had received $100 tickets for double parking outside William Ward Elementary School in New Rochelle (http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2017/11/06/new-rochelle-parking-tickets/).

    4 Reasons You Need to Hire a Traffic Lawyer

    When you receive a traffic violation, it’s natural to ask yourself: “Should I hire a traffic ticket lawyer to handle this?” My advice: Call a traffic lawyer as soon as you receive the ticket to discuss your case. I always offer people a free phone consultation so they understand the issues involved and can make an informed decision. Note: you only have 15 days to answer traffic tickets so call a traffic attorney ASAP. Here’s what you need to consider when deciding whether to

Driving recklessly is not to be taken lightly, so it's important to be in the know to prevent safety and legal problems. Q. What is reckless driving? A. Reckless driving is defin

    HOW TRAFFIC TICKETS AFFECT YOUR CAR INSURANCE RATES

    The average New Yorker pays $1,181.86 a year for car insurance premiums. However, car insurance rates vary heavily based on several factors including your driving history. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, one of the most important factors that auto insurers look at when setting your premiums is your traffic ticket history.
