Understanding Traffic Violations in Nassau County
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) governs all traffic offenses in Nassau County. Speeding tickets add 3-11 points to your driving record. Accumulating 11 or more points within 18 months triggers a license suspension. The Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) handles tickets in NYC, but outside NYC, local courts like the Nassau County District Court handle these cases. Mr. Sris, a former prosecutor and founder of the firm in 1997, understands how these laws apply in Nassau County.
