Moving violations will result in points on your driver's license and will increase your insurance premiums. Traffic violations and citations are an unfortunate yet common occurrence. In addition to the fines imposed if you are found guilty of, or plead guilty to, a traffic violation, there are other, more long-term consequences for being pulled over and issued a citation. In most instances, the traffic infraction will result in points on your license. Your license may be suspended for accruing 11 or more points within 18 months.
New York State’s traffic ticket points system
The DMV driver violation point system helps to identify drivers who commit several traffic violations. The point system is not the only reason for a driver's license suspension or revocation. There are mandatory suspensions or revocations. For example, the DMV must revoke your driver's license if you are convicted of three speeding violations (non-moving traffic violation or failure to observe signs are not included) within 18 months and if you have fewer than 11 points. This point system table lists the number of points given for violation traffic law codes in New York:
