Addressing Traffic Tickets in New York City

Traffic tickets are a common issue for drivers in New York City and can have significant consequences for your driving record and insurance rates. At Gannes & Musico, LLP, we understand the unique challenges faced by drivers in this bustling metropolis. Whether you're navigating the busy streets of Manhattan or the outer boroughs, a traffic ticket can disrupt your daily life and lead to various penalties.

New York City's traffic laws are strictly enforced by local government entities such as the New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) and the New York Police Department (NYPD). These agencies are vigilant in maintaining road safety, which means that even a minor infraction can result in a traffic ticket. The consequences can include fines, points on your license, and other penalties.

Let Gannes & Musico, LLP Fight for You

One of the most pressing concerns for NYC drivers is the impact of a traffic ticket on their insurance premiums. Insurance companies often view traffic violations as a risk factor, leading to potential increases in your rates. This can be particularly burdensome in a city where the cost of living is already high. By working with Gannes & Musico, LLP, you can take proactive steps to fight the ticket and potentially avoid these financial repercussions.

We know the ins and outs of New York City's traffic courts and have a deep understanding of the local legal landscape. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of the legal system. We are committed to providing personalized service that addresses your specific situation and helps you achieve the best possible outcome.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can a reckless driving ticket affect my insurance rates?

Yes, a reckless driving ticket can significantly impact your insurance rates. Insurance companies view reckless driving as a serious offense, and having such a ticket on your record can lead to higher premiums. By fighting the ticket with the help of a traffic lawyer, you may be able to avoid these increased costs and keep your insurance rates more manageable.

What should I do immediately after receiving a reckless driving ticket in New York City?

After receiving a reckless driving ticket in New York City, it's important to act quickly. First, document all details related to the incident, including the date, time, and location. Then, contact a traffic lawyer, like Gannes & Musico, LLP, to discuss your case. We can provide you with guidance on the next steps and help you build a strong defense to fight the ticket.

Is it worth fighting a reckless driving ticket instead of just paying the fine?

Yes, it is often worth fighting a reckless driving ticket rather than simply paying the fine. Paying the fine is an admission of guilt and can result in points on your driving record, increased insurance rates, and other penalties. With competent legal representation, you have a better chance of getting the ticket dismissed or the penalties reduced, which can save you money and protect your driving record in the long run.

How a Ticket Affects Your Driving Record 

A NY police officer can give you a ticket for numerous reasons, including running a red light, speeding, and texting while driving. The severity of your violation will dictate the penalties you incur as a result. If you don’t fight your ticket, you may wind up paying a serious fine and having points added to your driving record.

Reach out for legal help before simply paying your traffic ticket.

The fine and points you receive may depend on:

  • The type of traffic violation
  • The number of points already on your record
  • Which court is handling your case
  • The county where you received your ticket

New York’s point system is fairly easy to understand. Getting six points within 18 months means you must pay $100 per year for three years. Any additional points during those three years tacks an additional $75 per point onto your yearly fine.

The court is serious about deterring repeat offenders and points can accumulate quickly. Legal representation is a must, even if your violation seems minor.
