New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) governs all traffic offenses in Oneida County. The law classifies violations by severity, from infractions (no jail time) to misdemeanors and felonies. Points accumulate on your NY DMV record. Accumulating 11 points within 18 months triggers an automatic license suspension. Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO) ranges from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class E felony depending on prior suspensions. Mr. Sris, former prosecutor and founder of Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. since 1997, understands how these statutes apply in Oneida County courts.
