Last verified: April 2026 | Broome County Supreme Court | NY Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL)
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law governs all commercial driver license (CDL) holders. Under NY VTL § 510, accumulating 11 or more points within 18 months triggers a license suspension. For CDL holders, certain violations — such as speeding 15+ mph over the limit — carry immediate disqualification under federal FMCSA regulations (49 CFR Part 383). A Commercial Driver Lawyer Broome County understands these overlapping state and federal rules.
Review the official statute: NY VTL § 510 (official New York State Senate). For court procedures, visit the Broome County Supreme Court website.
In Broome County, CDL cases are heard at the Broome County Supreme Court. Unlike standard traffic tickets, commercial violations often require a formal hearing before an administrative law judge. The court strictly applies federal disqualification rules for serious offenses like reckless driving or DWI.
