Answers to the most frequently asked questions, provided by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicle.

What if I do not respond to a traffic ticket, pay a fine, or pay a mandatory surcharge?

The traffic court or Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) notifies the DMV when you do not respond to a ticket. The DMV suspends your driver license until you respond to the ticket, pay the fine, or pay the mandatory surcharge. 

A suspension for the failure to respond to a ticket does not indicate that you are guilty of the charge. The suspension only indicates that you failed to respond to the ticket. 

To remove the suspension, you must respond to the ticket, pay the fine, or pay the mandatory surcharge. You must also pay the suspension termination fee of $35 to the traffic court or the TVB. For suspensions that have an effective date on or after July 6, 2009 the fee is $70. 

If you continue to ignore the ticket after you received a suspension from a TVB for failure to respond to the ticket, you will receive a default conviction. The default conviction is equivalent to a guilty finding. The DMV then suspends your driver license for your failure to pay the fine. To remove a default conviction from a TVB, you must pay a $35 suspension termination fee, for failure to answer the ticket and a $35 suspension termination fee for failure to pay the fine, for a total of $70. For suspensions that have an effective date on or after July 6, 2009, the suspension termination fee is $70 for each suspension. 

The suspension termination fees are separate charges from the fines and the surcharges for a conviction. You must pay the suspension termination fees, the fines and the surcharges to remove the suspension.

Avoid this completely by contacting Traffic Ticket Nassau County upon receiving a traffic violation! You'll avoid unnecessary fees, fines and hassle regarding your license.

What must I do if I receive a parking ticket?

 

The DMV does not handle parking violations or regulate parking. If you receive a parking ticket or have questions about local parking rules, contact your city, town or village. Do not contact the DMV. You must respond to the tickets in the locality where they were issued. 

If you fail to answer parking tickets, the locality can notify the DMV. The DMV can prevent the renewal of your vehicle registration, or suspend your vehicle registration. You can renew your registration after you respond to the tickets and pay the fines. 

You can avoid contacting everyone and anyone at towns, cities and/or villages by contacting Traffic Ticket Nassau County immediately upon receiving a parking ticket.
