Schenectady County
Rotterdam Traffic Violations Attorney
It is always distressing to receive a citation for a traffic violation — especially if you believe the police officer was mistaken. Even if you know that you broke a rule, it still may seem as if the punishment is greater than warranted under the circumstances.
The bottom line with a traffic ticket, however, is that if you simply pay it and try to forget about it, it will remain lurking in government records. Still, you may find it inconvenient to try to contest the ticket on your own.
And while many drivers do not think about the long-term consequences, being convicted for a traffic ticket in New York now might affect your life in the future by:
- Marring your clean driving record, verifiable through background checks on your name
- Possibly harming your career, especially if you drive for a living
- Adding points to your driver’s license, including out-of-state and Canadian driver’s licenses
- Requiring you to pay a New York driver responsibility assessment annually for three years once you rack up six points or more on your New York or out-of-state driver’s license
- Increasing your insurance costs — perhaps adding up to hundreds or thousands of dollars over time
