Out-of-State Traffic Ticket Convictions and Your NY License

Often times I will receive calls about the effect of traffic ticket convictions from another state on your New York license.

The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles does not record violations committed by NY licensed drivers that occur in other states with a number of well-defined exceptions.

Exception No. 1: the NYS DMV does record out-of-state alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations and moving violations, such as speeding tickets, from Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Thus, if you are convicted of a moving violation in either Quebec or Ontario, it will be recorded on your New York Driver's Abstract and will be assessed points.

Exception No. 2: If you ignore a ticket issued out of another state or fail to pay a fine imposed by another state, the NYS DMV will suspend your NYS driver's license until the scoffs are resolved. There are six states, however, that do not share reciprocity in this regard: California, Michigan, Oregon, Wisconsin, Montana and Alaska.
