Connecticut Driver's License, but Ticketed in New York.
Connecticut License Drivers: Your Guide to Handling New York Traffic Tickets
Are you a Connecticut driver who has received a traffic ticket in New York? Understanding the legal implications of this situation is essential, and we’re here to offer you the necessary insights and legal assistance.
The Driver’s License Compact: Information Sharing Between New York and Connecticut
New York and Connecticut are both part of the Driver’s License Compact, which means they share driver information, including traffic violations. If you, as a Connecticut driver, are convicted of a traffic offense in New York, Connecticut will be notified of the ticket.
Impact on Your Connecticut Driving Record
According to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, out-of-state moving violations can add points to your Connecticut driving record. This means that offenses like reckless driving, speeding, or driving with a suspended license in New York could negatively impact your record back home in Connecticut.
Understanding Insurance Implications
Insurance companies may factor out-of-state traffic violations into their rate calculations, potentially causing an increase in your insurance premiums. This makes handling New York traffic tickets appropriately even more critical.
Risks of Losing Driving Privileges
For Connecticut drivers, accumulating 11 or more points in New York can result in a suspension of driving privileges within New York. Although this will not result in the suspension of your Connecticut license, the suspension in New York is recognized by Connecticut due to the Driver’s License Compact.
