Note, with this option your record is not available for viewing online. Allow two weeks for delivery.

What information appears on your DMV records? Your driver abstract shows your name, date of birth, and your mailing address. Additionally, it includes your drive license class, endorsements and restrictions, as well as the current status and expiration date of your driver’s license. Most importantly, your abstract will also include any suspensions or revocations of your license, accidents and moving violation conviction that you may, or may not know about.

Are You Driving In to the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade? Here's what you need to know before you go...

If you’re planning on attending the 85th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow, and you’re thinking about driving into NYC, keep these few things in mind.

Alternate side and meter rules are not in effect on Thanksgiving Day, but watch out for the dreaded no stopping, no standing and no parking anytime signs. These tickets can turn out to be hefty fines.

According to CBS New York, rates change at parking garages from $14 before 10am at 9th Avenue and west 31st Street, as well as close to other parade hot spots, to $50! 

Margot Tohn from ParkItNYC.com says “if you park closer to 11th or 12th Avenues or anywhere on the East Side where they might not have an event rate in effect, that’s where you’re going to pay the least amount,” (CBS New York). 

Authorities will be on the lookout for illegal parks, so be sure you’re in a legal spot before you leave your car. 

Traffic Ticket Nassau County would like to wish you and your family a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving holiday!

If you’re a resident of New York State, you should know the New York Department of Motor Vehicle Point System for traffic violations. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Speeding (1-10 MPH over posted limit): 3 points
  • Speeding (11-20 MPH over posted limit): 4 points
  • Speeding (21-30 MPH over posted limit): 6 points
  • Speeding (31-40 MPH over posted limit): 8 points
  • Speeding (more than 40 MPH over posted limit): 11 points
  • Reckless Driving: 5 points
  • Failing to stop for a school bus: 5 points
  • Following too closely (tailgating): 4 points
  • Inadequate brakes: 4 points
  • Inadequate brakes while driving an employers vehicle: 2 points
  • Failing to yield right-of-way: 3 points
  • Violation involving a traffic signal, stop sign or yield sign: 3 points
  • Railroad-crossing violation: 3 points
  • Improper passing, unsafe lane change, driving left of center, or driving in wrong direction: 3 points
  • Leaving the scene of an incident involving property damage or injury to a domestic animal: 3 points
  • Safety restraint violation involving a person under 16: 3 points
  • Any other moving violation: 2 points
If you are given 11 points for traffic convictions in an 18-month period, the New York DMV may suspend or revoke your license for usually 31 days. Mandatory suspensions and revocations outside the points system are another way to lose your license, including receiving three speeding violations within an 18 months, even if your total is less than 11 points as well as DUI/DWI charges.
