New York State Point System

Adding up the Numbers

The New York State Point System defines the number of points you may have on your driving record before there are consequences. After that, you may find it difficult to negotiate reduced fines for further traffic violations and your license may even be suspended. Your insurance rates may go through the roof.

The Points Keep Hanging On

State law dictates that points stay on your driving record for 39 months — a little more than three years. In some cases, they can remain there for four years or longer. Points are a driving force in determining how future traffic violations are handled. Once you start accumulating points, your driving privileges are in increasing jeopardy. A lawyer who understands the system can protect your interests.
