Speeding

When hurrying from point A to point B, you may not be attentive to your speedometer. Speed quickly rises as you go down the road. The more you speed, the more likely you are to receive a  speeding ticket. Depending on the circumstances, a speeding ticket can have some serious consequences based on your speed and where you were caught. It is important to retain a lawyer with extensive knowledge of the court system in which your ticket will be addressed.

Cell Phone Violation

New York State has always been on the front line of cell phone laws. New York was the first state to ban cell phone use while driving a vehicle without the assistance of hands-free methods. Albany passed the first cell phone bill in 2001 right on the verge of its wide popularity. Legislatures saw the effects of cell phone use on drivers across the state. While the violation was originally a mere infraction with a small fine, lawmakers have since realized the seriousness of the situation. The laws have changed dramatically and so have the abilities of cell phones.

Reckless Driving

Most traffic tickets are minor infractions that come with small fines, court surcharges, and higher insurance premiums through an accumulation of points on one’s driving record. Reckless driving is a different and much more serious situation. New York State works to keep the roads safe for all and when someone willfully puts others in danger through a variety of illegal maneuvers, the courts are aggressive and hostile. Accordingly, reckless driving is a misdemeanor, which is a crime and comes with serious consequences.

Driving Without a License

New York State requires that every individual operating a motor vehicle owns a driver’s license. Driving without one is a serious offense that comes with overwhelming consequences. If you knew or should have known about the trouble with your license and were caught driving without one, you could receive an aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle ticket (AUO), which is a very serious offense. If you didn’t know you had a problem with your license, you may still face a small traffic infraction.
