What Your Teen Driver Needs to Know This Holiday Season
It's nerve-wracking enough to have your teenager start driving. It is especially worrisome during the holiday season when car accidents are more prevalent. Yes, your teen may accuse you of being a nag but take the time for a chat and remind him or her of these cautions: 1. Follow speed limits. There are more drivers on the road, more pedestrians in the streets, and more police and highway patrols on the alert during the holiday season. Don't speed and stay alert. 2. Turn off

Driving in a School Zone
Driving in school zones requires extra caution. New York City recently increased the number of speed cameras installed in school zones in an effort to slow down drivers and prevent crashes. The cameras operate Monday through Friday, from 6 am to 10 pm all year round, regardless of whether school is in session. But driving slowly in a school zone is only one of the safety steps you need to take. Double parking in a school zone--even if it's just for a quick drop off or pick u

Good News About Speeding Tickets: It Is Possible to Withdraw a Guilty Plea
A little known but very reassuring fact is that in Westchester County, under certain circumstances, speeding ticket points may be removed from your driving record— even after you pleaded guilty and have paid the fine. Eliminating Points on a Speeding Violation I have had numerous clients who pleaded guilty and paid their fines without realizing that the points for that ticket will cause their driving license to be suspended or make them liable to pay a $300 DMV drivers respon

MAKE SURE YOUR TEEN DRIVER STAYS SAFE THIS SUMMER!
With the start of summer here, now is a perfect time to remind your teen driver of safety cautions. Studies show teens are more likely than older adults to underestimate dangerous situations on the road. And having taken driver’s education classes and passed the New York State driving test are no guarantees that your child has internalized what it means to be a safe driver. Highway road patrol and law enforcement agencies are so concerned about drunk driving over the holiday

Don't Let Your Driving Record Derail Your Dreams
Like many people, you may think it's no big deal when you get a traffic ticket. The idea of fighting it may seem too time-consuming, too costly, or too futile. Just paying up may seem a lot simpler than taking time off from work to go to traffic court and a lot less expensive than hiring a traffic lawyer to fight your ticket. But getting a speeding ticket isn't just a matter of paying a costly fine. It only takes a few tickets to start adding points to your DMV record and to

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.

BEST WAYS TO FIGHT A RED LIGHT CAMERA TICKET
Red light camera tickets are becoming increasingly common. They are installed, usually at busy intersections, as a way to spot drivers who disregard a red light traffic signal. These cameras, triggered by sensors when a vehicle enters an intersection while the traffic light is red, take a photo of the front license plate and driver. Typically, you won't realize that the camera has caught you running a red light until you receive a ticket with a photo of the license plate. I

4 REASONS IT’S IMPORTANT TO CHECK YOUR DMV RECORD
Most of us only go to the DMV’s office or website when we hand in old license plates, have car registration problems that need to be addressed, or sign up for a driving test. As a result, many people don’t know how many points are on their driving record, that they have traffic violations that still need to be addressed, or that old convictions they thought were deleted from their driving record long ago are still there. Alcohol or drug-related convictions from 15 years ago o
