If you drive often in New York or have previous tickets in New York, it may be important to fight your New York ticket. This is because of your phantom New York driver’s license. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYS DMV) creates an internal account for any motorist that receives a traffic ticket in New York. This is used to issue a driver assessment fee for getting 6 points or suspension for getting 11 points. New York State cannot suspend the license of another state, but they can suspend the New York State driving privileges of an out-of-state motorist. Driving with suspended privileges in New York is the same as driving with a suspended license in New York. You would be subject to arrest and criminal charges.
