Traffic Tickets Traffic Tickets received in Lynbrook Village can be either  an infraction, a violation, a misdemeanor, and even in some instances a felony. CERTAIN TRAFFIC TICKETS CARRY AN AUTOMATIC 1 YEAR LICENSE REVOCATION OF YOUR LICENSE. While most moving traffic infractions carry points and a fine, some convictions will lead to an automatic revocations or your license. For example, if you plead guilty to, or are ultimately convicted of driving without insurance (section 319.1 of the NYS vehicle and Traffic law) your license will automatically be revoked for 1 year by law. Also you will also receive a $750 civil penalty in addition to a fine and surcharge. Also if you are convicted of 3 or more speeding tickets or 3 or more misdemeanor traffic convictions ( or any combination of 3 thereof ),  with dates of violations within 18 months of each other, you will receive a 6 month revocation of your license. YOU CAN END UP WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD FROM A TRAFFIC TICKET IN NEW YORK. If you plead to or are convicted of something as simple as driving with a suspended license (section 511.1a of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law) you will end up with a criminal record, unless you are under the age of 19 years old and fall under the youthful offender provisions. The following are a just a few of the traffic charges that are misdemeanors. There are many more that are misdemeanors that I have not listed. A conviction to any one of these would give you a criminal record unless you fall within the youthful offender provisions.

Some offenses carry even tougher mandatory sentences. Some misdemeanor traffic convictions carry mandatory jail or probation.
