Do not assume that you are automatically guilty of a traffic violation in Red Hook, New York simply because a police officer ticketed you. Discuss your charges with an experienced NY traffic lawyer before you make any final decisions about how proceed in your case. A guilty plea to a moving violation could have serious and long-lasting consequences, including:

• The Red Hook Village Court will contact the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and alert them to your traffic conviction. The DMV will then put the traffic conviction on your driving record. Even out-of-state drivers are subject to penalties when they return home because the NY DMV will inform the driver’s home state about the conviction in Red Hook, New York.
• The Red Hook Traffic Court judge may have the option to impose stiff fines, monetary penalties and other court costs. As a result, the costs of a traffic ticket conviction or guilty plea can quickly add up.
• Once you have a traffic conviction on your driving record, it becomes easier for your insurance carrier to raise your insurance premiums. If the traffic offense is particularly serious, your insurance company may decide to drop your auto insurance coverage altogether.
• The traffic court may suspend or revoke your license. As a result, it will be illegal for you to get behind the wheel of a car, truck or any other motor vehicle in the State of New York.
