THE NEW YORK TRAFFIC VIOLATION POINT AND FINES SYSTEM

BEWARE OF THE NEW   
Driver Responsibility Assessments !@!$^&%!!!!!
 

If you incur six points on your driver record during a period of 18 months, the annual assessment is $100. The minimum amount that you must pay each year is the annual assessment. The total assessment for the three years is $300. If you incur more than six points on your driver record during a period of 18 months, the annual assessment is $25 for each point more than the original six points. The minimum amount that you must pay each year is the annual assessment. The total assessment for the three years is $75 for each point more than the original six points.  You can reduce your driver violation point total and your insurance premiums, but completion of a 
POINT REDUCTION COURSE does not change your driver responsibility assessment!
