Has your driver's license been suspended?  Unpaid traffic tickets, alcohol and drug violations, vehicular homicide, and speed contest are a few of the reasons of why the DMV may suspend your license.

Types of Suspension:

  • Indefinite Suspension - If you fail to respond to a court summons, pay a fine, or file an accident report, the NY DMV may enforce an indefinite suspension.  There is no pre-determined date to end your suspension.  This means that you need to take action in order to have your license reinstated.  Our attorneys can offer you advice on how to best get back out on the roads.
  • Definite License Suspension - There is a clear end date with definite suspension.  This means that you will be required to wait out the suspension period.  Once the suspension period has passed, you can pay termination fees and have your driver's license reinstated.
  • Traffic Accident License Suspensions - If you are involved in an auto accident that results inn damage that amounts to more than $1,001, you need to file a report with the DMV 10 days after the accident.  If you fail to do so, you will have your license suspended. 
  • Out-of-State Ticket Suspensions - If you fail to respond to an out-of-state moving violation, your license will be suspended until you resolve the issues.  Our attorneys can help represent you in court and make sure that your license is reinstated.
For more in depth information on what to do when your driver's license is suspended, visit the New York DMV website.  You can also contact our office where our experienced attorneys can explain the details of your suspension and walk you through the necessary steps and options available to you.  We work with our clients to resolve issues in the most convenient way possible.

The Nassau County Police Department has begun testing a new system that records officers’ interactions with the public.  These dashboard video cameras are intended to provide greater transparency and more efficient police work.

The dashboard cameras are currently being tested in the department’s DWI enforcement unit.  However, they plan on expanding the camera use to the more controversial “body cameras” later this year.

According to Thomas Krumpter, Nassau’s acting police commissioner, “you can’t dispute the evidence value.”  While this can be considered an infringement on privacy, the police find that the surveillance cameras have more pros than cons.

Teen drivers make up the largest percentage of auto accidents – more than any other age group.  However, with safe driving practices you can stay safe on the roads this summer!  Here are a  few tips to help you drive safely.

Safety Tips:
  • Turn off Your Phone – Studies show that using your cell phone while driving can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence.  This is even true with hands-free devices!  
  • Don’t Text and Drive – On average, texting causes loss of focus for 5 seconds.  A lot can go wrong in 5 seconds!
  • Use Your Headlights – Doing so can increase your visibility and help other drivers see you both at night and on sunny days.
  • Drive at the Speed Limit – Speeding is the cause of 40% of all fatal teen accidents.
  • Practice Defensive Driving – Always make sure that you maintain a buffer zone between you and the car in front of you, depending on the speed limit.

In an effort to improve crime-fighting, New York state is collecting records that track vehicle movement.  These records can be used to keep track of where a person has traveled, as well as alert patrol officers to stolen cars.  The purpose is to allow investigators to go back in time and track where a suspect spent his or her time.  However, there are mixed opinions on whether this improves public safety or is an invasion of privacy.

Both Nassau and Suffolk counties are now involved in long-term storage of license plate records.  The information is gathered by license plate cameras mounted on police cars, as well as at fixed locations.  Those in favor of the records believe that these records provide another tool in solving significant crime cases.  Those in opposition believe that it is an invasion of privacy to collect information on people who aren’t doing anything wrong.

To learn more about the differing views on license plate surveillance, read this USA today article.
