If you’ve ever gotten a traffic ticket before, you know how upsetting a situation like that can be. One minute, you’re driving from point A to point B, and the next, you see those blue and red lights flashing in your rearview mirror that signal you to pull over. While getting a traffic ticket is something nobody looks forward to, most people assume that the majority of traffic tickets are no big deal and can be taken care of by simply putting a check in the mail.
However, paying your traffic ticket may not be the best course of action. It will certainly resolve the issue faster, however, doing so could have a significant impact on your driving record and your insurance premiums.

Note: Recent changes to the New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law makes it mandatory for motorists who are found guilty of certain traffic violations to pay an assessment to the Department of Motor Vehicles. This is called the Driver Responsibility Program and it applies to drivers who operate any kind of motor vehicle in New York State. This applies to New York drivers, regardless of the state the driver is actually licensed in.
