The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles has increased point values for several serious driving violations.<\/p>\n
Many violations that carried zero points will now impose up to 11 points, depending on the violation.<\/p>\n
Many drivers are questioning whether the changes will affect insurance rates, but DMV points will not affect insurance rates, but a reckless driving record still can.<\/p>\n
Updating one\u2019s address with the DMV within 30 days of moving to ensure important updates are received and installing dash cameras for additional protection.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese updated regulations will have no impact on drivers who follow the rules of the road, but they will have a big impact on dangerous drivers and repeat offenders whose poor choices always put other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians at risk,\u201d DMV Commissioner and Chair of the Governor\u2019s Traffic Safety Committee Mark J.F. Schroeder said in a statement. \u201cOur job is to make sure that New York\u2019s roads are safe for everyone, and if someone chooses to be reckless and unsafe, they do not deserve to be behind the wheel, period.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles has increased point values for several serious driving violations.
