New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) governs all traffic offenses in Queens County (Queens). The law sets point values for moving violations, license suspension thresholds, and penalties for aggravated unlicensed operation. In New York City, including Queens, the Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) handles most non-criminal traffic tickets. Unlike local courts outside NYC, the TVB does not allow plea bargaining. This means every ticket you receive in Queens requires a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Understanding the specific VTL section you are charged under is critical to building your defense. Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., founded in 1997 by former prosecutor Mr. Sris, has handled thousands of traffic cases across New York.
