In most cases, we can appear in court for you and adjourn your case, which means that you will not have to go to court.

How Many Points Does It Take to Suspend a License in NY?

In New York, a driver's license can be suspended if they accumulate 11 or more points on their driving record within 18 months. Points are assigned to different types of traffic violations, with more serious offenses resulting in a higher point value. For example, speeding 1-10 miles per hour over the limit is worth 3 points, while reckless driving carries a point value of 5. It's important to note that even if a driver doesn't reach the 11-point threshold, they may still face fines, license suspension, or other penalties for certain violations, such as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
