Understanding New York Traffic Law in Otsego County
New York Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) governs all traffic violations in Otsego County. Speeding tickets add 3 to 11 points to your driving record. Accumulating 11 or more points within 18 months results in a mandatory license suspension. Aggravated Unlicensed Operation (AUO) ranges from a traffic infraction to a Class E felony, depending on the circumstances. The NY VTL sets the legal framework for all traffic enforcement in the state.
