Traffic Tickets
 Traffic Tickets received in Riverhead can be an infraction, a violation, a misdemeanor, and in some cases a felony.
 CERTAIN TRAFFIC TICKETS CARRY AN AUTOMATIC 1 YEAR LICENSE REVOCATION OF YOUR LICENSE.
While most moving traffic infractions carry points and a fine, some convictions will lead to an automatic suspension or revocation or your license. For example, if you plead guilty or are ultimately convicted of driving without insurance (VTL 319.1), your license will automatically be revoked for 1 year. In addition, you will be required to pay a $750 civil penalty along with a fine and surcharge. If you are convicted of 3 or more speeding tickets or 3 or more misdemeanor traffic convictions (or any combination of 3 thereof), with dates of violations within 18 months of each other, you will receive a 6 month revocation of your license.
YOU CAN END UP WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD FROM A TRAFFIC TICKET IN NEW YORK.
If you plead guilty to something as simple as driving with a suspended license (Section 511.1a of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law) you will end up with a criminal record, unless you wre under 19 years old when you received the ticket and qualify for youthful offender status.
The following are a just a few of the traffic charges that are misdemeanors. There are many more that are misdemeanors that I have not listed. A conviction to any one of these would give you a criminal record unless you fall within the youthful offender provisions.
SOME TRAFFIC MISDEMEANOR CONVICTIONS CARRY MANDATORY JAIL OR 3 YEARS PROBATION.
Certain offenses carry even tougher mandatory sentences. Some traffic convictions carry mandatory jail or probation. For example, if you are convicted of a 511.2a (Aggravated Unlicensed operation in the Second Degree) the judge must by law sentence you to jail and/or 3 years probation, and a minimum $500 fine, plus a mandatory surcharge.
