Long Island and New York Traffic Violation Lawyers
After receiving a traffic ticket on Long Island or in one of the 5 Boroughs of New York, the easiest course of action appears to be just paying the traffic ticket. After all the ticket comes included with an envelope ready to mail. However, when paying a traffic ticket you are also pleading guilty which can lead to unforeseen consequences such as points on your license, increased insurance rates or even a criminal record in certain situations. Recent changes in NY Laws permit the Department of Motor Vehicles to arbitrarily suspend ones driving privileges for certain traffic ticket convictions regardless of the persons driving record as well as certain traffic offenses appearing on ones driving record forever if they are convicted.
