Nys Speeding Ticket Laws
2001
Live in PA, received a ticket in NYS, paid the ticket but now getting notices about a fine?
In July I received a ticket in upstate NY for speeding. I paid the ticket (even though I did not agree with it – but the 6 hour drive to fight it wasn’t worth it). Now I am receiving letters from New York State telling me if I don’t pay this $300 Driver Responsibility Assessment my NEW YORK state drivers license will be suspended and if I don’t turn in my license there will be a warrant for my arrest.
I don’t HAVE a New York License! I have a Pennsylvania License!
Can anyone with familiarity with NY traffic laws enlighten me on this situtation. I do not live in, have never lived in, and have no intention of living in New York state. I was simply passing through.
Called the number listed on the paper and my only options are automated – no real human being.
I figured maybe someone from NY could enlighten me as to how to handle this.
The Driver Responsibility Assessment is NOT a fine, it is a special fund to help pay the cost of defensive driving schools that some people have to attend in order to get their license back. This is mostly paid by residents only, I don’t know why they would make the charge on you. Must be a mix-up somewhere in the system. Try calling those numbers again and just pick one of those options until a live person answers, they should be able to connect you to the right department, or at least give you the correct number.
If all else fails…. go down to your nearest DMV and ask their advise, if they’ll give you any !
Good Luck !!!
