Resolving Tickets on the New York Thruway and Northway
Whether you're headed to upstate New York on business, traveling to Niagara Falls for vacation or driving through New York on Interstate 90 on your way to Boston or Cleveland, the last thing you want to deal with is a speeding ticket or other traffic violation.
That is where we come in. The good news is that you don't have to deal with traffic tickets yourself. At Colwell, Colwell & Petroccione, LLP, our traffic violation attorneys are often able to appear in the local New York courts on your behalf, so you do not have to deal with the inconvenience of returning to the area for your court date.
Simply paying a traffic ticket is an admission of guilt. It may seem easy to mail in the fine and move on, but adding a conviction for a traffic violation has consequences. While it may be a minor legal issue, most people's driving records are more important than they realize. A point or strike on a driving record such as a citation for excessive speed or driving without a license can have long-term repercussions that call for the attention of a knowledgeable traffic violation defense lawyer.
Don't Plead Guilty and Pay Without Talking to an NY Thruway Traffic Violations Attorney
Speeding tickets on New York Interstate 87 (the "Northway") or New York Thruway 90 can impact drivers from Michigan, Connecticut, Florida or Canada. In many states, traffic violation convictions result in accumulation of "points" on a driver's license. In New York, it can mean being fined a New York driver responsibility assessment (DRA) for three years.
A ticket can have long-term negative consequences, including:
- Increased insurance rates
- Your driver's license being later suspended or revoked for additional traffic violations
- Negative information in your name — accessible by potential employers through public records
