What is considered a moving violation in New York?

I’m heading to New York for business for a week, and my friend told me he just got a moving violation there. What’s considered a moving violation in NY?

A moving violation in NY is any traffic offense committed while your vehicle is in motion. Although many moving violations will add points to your driving record, not all do. Some examples of moving violations include:
  • Seatbelt violations
  • Failing to yield
  • Illegal turns
  • Improper passing
  • Driving without a license or insurance
  • Running a red light
  • Reckless driving
  • Speeding
While getting a minor speeding ticket may not affect your insurance rates, being cited with a DUI or reckless driving will. But if you’re left dealing with the aftermath of a moving violation citation, finding affordable
