Legal extortion

[IceBergSLiM]

I got and paid for two tickets recieved in NY. one in march 2006 another in june 2007.

I just got a letter saying that I owe NY another $450 on top of the $600+ because i got 6+ points in 18 months.....

Unless you are rich who can afford this type of double penalty?


Failure to comply will result in suspension of license.


Legalized extortion.

that only applies if you have a NY drivers license. I got one of those too back in July 06. But just ignored it since I have a NJ drivers license. I have since renewed my license in NJ without a hitch

yea its 6 points in NY, but only counted as 2 on my NJ license since I got the ticket out of state

dont you live in Connecticut? if you dont have a NY license, dont worry about it

yeah but If I drive in new york I can be arrested. NY can also tell CT DMV to cancel my license as well. I am sure they will do that.

can one state tell another state to cancel a license like that?

Oh yeah. definitely.

I have heard New York has the harshest traffic laws... yet the most dense and aggressive traffic.
Maybe they don't ticket in New York City much because of the density.
Do they just pick and choose who they ticket in rural areas?

I'm glad I'm in Ohio... almost every ticket is $100.
You don't lose your license until you get 8 points in 2 years. That would be 4 speeding tickets.

They must have tightened that. Last I knew the only penalty for points was on your insurance and if you had 11+ your license was revoked (or maybe it was suspended)

sounds like good reasons to move

to somewhere else

where it costs less

 

[Hyperlite]

any lawyer friends you can talk to? that sounds sticky... but i know, for example, my mom had her michigan license suspended for points and the next week went and got an alabama license with out a hitch.

They can't force them to, they can ask them to take it up. Most states cooperate as they'll want the same done in return.

Here's an idea: Quit whining, pay the ticket and learn to drive.

Legalized extortion? ROFLMAO. Give me a break...you got the tickets and now that the rules are being applied to you, you are whining about it being extortion. From many of your posts, you've enjoyed playing your part taking full advantage of people and situations at every opportunity and not caring one bit about the consequences. Enjoy the receiving end much? Just pay the fines and quit whining...I thought real men didn't whine and cry about things...

NYS DMV Driver Responsibility Program

$100/yr for 3 years at 6 points, $25/yr for 3 years for each point over.
Yet another way to screw drivers out of money. Sounds to me like if I ever get a 6 point ticket or get 6 points in 18 months I'll need to hire a lawyer.
