If you are reading this page, you are likely a New York State motorist that is suspended. The reason for the suspension is listed on your abstract as “PNG SUBMSN TO CRT-OS”. This is short for “Pending Submission to Court Out of State.” It means you got a ticket in another state and failed to answer the ticket with a Guilty plea or Not Guilty plea. In all likelihood, you got the out-of-state ticket many months ago, and perhaps years ago. The actual process to get you suspended in New York State goes through several steps. The out-of-state court that has jurisdiction over the ticket reports the failure to answer to their Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The out-of-state DMV then reports the failure to answer to the New York State DMV, which then suspends your license.
If your license is suspended for failing to respond to an out-of-state ticket, it is prudent that you deal with it as soon as possible. Driving while suspended is a criminal offense and you are subject to arrest if pulled over for any reason. The Benjamin Goldman Law Office is a New York State law firm and cannot help with a violation in another state. Either get in touch with the out-of-state court that ordered the suspension or get in touch with a local attorney where you got the ticket. Please note that it may take a while until your New York license is restored. The same way it took a while for New York to suspend you, it will similarly take a while to get unsuspended.
