Understanding Traffic Laws in Nassau County, NY
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) governs all traffic offenses in Nassau County. Violations range from minor infractions like speeding (3-11 points depending on speed) to serious misdemeanors such as Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO). The NY VTL establishes point values for each offense, and accumulating 11 or more points within 18 months triggers an automatic license suspension. The Driver Responsibility Assessment adds $100-$250 per year for three years for drivers with 6 or more points. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, has handled thousands of traffic cases across New York.
