New York Traffic Law Overview
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) governs all traffic offenses in Monroe County. Speeding tickets carry 3 to 11 points depending on the speed over the limit. Accumulating 11 or more points within 18 months triggers an automatic license suspension. Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO) can be charged as a Class A misdemeanor or, in serious cases, a Class E felony. The Monroe County Supreme Court handles more serious traffic matters, while local courts manage standard violations.
