| In New York if you disobey a traffic signal, stop sign or yield sign, which likely turning during a "no-turns" period falls under, is a 3 point offense in NYS. To take care of a NYC ticket you should contact the entity listed on the citation which probably is the DMV Traffic Violations Bureau that handles non-criminal moving violations that occur in the 5 boroughs of New York City. Once you pay for the NYC ticket, the violation conviction information should be sent to the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) since both states are members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). You need to take care of the ticket in NYC because if you do not both NY and MD could suspend your license. Maryland's driver's manual notes that once the MVA receives information from another DLC state regarding a ticket conviction, the violation is treated as if the offense occurred in MD. This means being the violation is recorded on the Maryland driving record and that points may be assessed. For affordable Maryland automobile insurance, click here.
