What Are The Penalties For Traffic Violations?

One of the biggest mistakes that individuals – and even other traffic lawyers – can make is to underestimate the severity of traffic tickets. They might seem minor, but the consequences can have long-lasting impacts on your driving privileges and your criminal record. Some of the penalties for traffic offenses include:

• Expensive fines
• Points added to your driver’s license
• Suspension or revocation of your driver’s license
• Mandatory driving lessons
• Mandatory drug and alcohol counseling
• Installation of an ignition interlock device
• Jail time, in severe or repeat offenses

In addition to these civil and criminal penalties, your insurance provider will likely increase the cost of your monthly premium. The best way to avoid the consequences is to take a proactive approach with one of our experienced traffic attorneys. They know the exact steps to take based on your jurisdiction to protect your rights and prevent or reduce the punishment.

What Is A TVB Ticket In New York?

A TVB (Traffic Violations Bureau) ticket is a citation issued for nonmoving violations within New York City. These tickets are handled differently from other traffic infractions in the state, making them particularly important for motorists to understand.

TVB ticket charges can have significant legal consequences. Unlike regular traffic courts dealing with traffic citations in the rest of the state, administrative law judges conduct TVB hearings and there is no opportunity for plea bargaining. If found guilty, you will face the full penalties associated with the violation. These penalties can include:

• Heavy fines
• Points on your license
• Potential license suspension or revocation

Furthermore, TVB convictions can lead to increased insurance rates, as insurers often view these violations as indicators of risky driving behavior. For professional drivers or those who rely heavily on their vehicles, a TVB ticket can potentially impact their livelihood.

Common TVB violations include:

• Speed limit violations
• Parking infractions
• Expired registration
• Failure to display proper documentation
• Equipment violations (like broken taillights)

Even minor violations can impact your driving record. Accumulating too many points from TVB tickets may lead to license suspension.

Ignoring TVB tickets can result in additional penalties or even arrest warrants. Therefore, consulting a traffic defense lawyer about a TVB ticket is wise for several reasons. Our experienced traffic ticket attorneys can:

• Analyze the specifics of your case and identify potential defense strategies
• Represent you at the TVB hearing, presenting your case effectively to the administrative law judge
• Equip you with the knowledge of the potential legal consequences and guide you on the best course of action
• Potentially have the charges reduced or dismissed, saving you from fines, points and insurance hikes
• Assist in navigating the complex TVB system, which differs from standard traffic courts

Given TVB tickets’ unique nature and potential legal consequences on your driving record and finances, you cannot afford to ignore working with an effective legal team. Our traffic ticket lawyers have handled hundreds of traffic tickets, including TVB cases. Our 25 years of experience in New York City traffic law give us unique insights into your cases.
