Point system with a New York driver license

Question

Is it true that if I get a ticket in another state due to a moving violation, I don't get points added to my license, unless the moving violation occurs in Quebec and Ontario?

Answer 1

Yes, it's true.  In fact, the violation does not even go on your driving record.

"The NYSDMV does not record out-of-state violations committed by NYS drivers in other jurisdictions. The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario. Under special agreements, traffic convictions in Quebec or Ontario are recorded on NYS driver license records and carry points. Except for violations in Ontario and Quebec, points are not added to your NYS record for out-of-state violations."
