Points in Idaho
According to a PDF available on the Idaho Transportation Department website:
The Idaho Transportation Department’s (ITD) Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) receives records for moving violations that occur both in the jurisdiction of Idaho and in other jurisdictions including Canada. Each moving violation may receive a point value from 1 to 4 points, depending on the seriousness of the violation. Convictions and points assessed are entered on each driver’s record and points are maintained for 3 years after the conviction date. (emphasis added)
This means that Idaho would treat any traffic ticket received out of the state as if it was received in Idaho. For confirmation and more detailed information on how an out-of-state violation would impact an Idaho license, one would need to contact an Idaho traffic ticket lawyer. To fight the ticket in New York, you need to contact a New York traffic ticket lawyer.
Points in New York
Besides getting points in Idaho, you will also get points in New York. The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (NYSDMV) creates an internal account for any motorist that receives a traffic ticket in New York State. This is utilized to calculate a driver assessment fee for reaching six points or suspension for reaching eleven points. New York State cannot suspend an Idaho license, but they can suspend the New York State driving privileges of an Idaho motorist. An out-of-state motorist driving in New York with suspended New York privileges is the same as a New York motorist driving with a suspended license in New York. The out-of-state motorist would be subject to arrest, criminal charges, and possible jail time.
Disputing a Traffic Ticket in New York
Disputing a traffic ticket in New York can be easy with a traffic ticket attorney involved. This is because the person that received the ticket does not need to appear personally in court and does not need to have a defense. New York State law allows an attorney to go to court in the place of their client. This means you would not have to attend a court in New York to get your charges modified or dismissed. Your attorney can determine what works best for your case, whether to present the court with a valid defense, challenge the charges on procedural grounds, or utilize any program that is available in the relevant jurisdiction. For detailed information, it is best if you contact a New York law firm whose main practice area is Traffic Law.
