    Default New York Traffic Violation, Out-of-State License

    My question involves a speeding ticket from the State of: NY

    I received a traffic ticket in NY, doing 81 at 65 MPH. I hold a VA license. I have few questions

    1. Does NY report the points to VA?
    2. In VA, the DMV site says 20+ above the speed limit is reckless and it also says simply anything above 80 mph is reckless - Does anyone have more clarification on this?
    3. Do I need an attorney, if so can you please suggest one or guide me in the right direction for Chautauqua county attorney(affordable).

    Thank you all.

    You should expect that New York will abstract the offense to Virginia.
    Quote Quoting Virginia Code, Sec. 46.2-862
    A person shall be guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of twenty miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of eighty miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.

    Thank you. From the code you have quoted it states in the common wealth, does that mean it applies only to the highways of VA or does it apply to all tickets from different states? Can you please interpret.
