Failing to Stop Lawyer in NYC

Who Gets a Failing to Stop Ticket in NYC?

In New York City, a failing to stop ticket is typically issued when a driver does not come to a complete stop at a stop sign, red light, or intersection where required by law. Even if you slow down, “rolling stops” are treated the same as not stopping at all.

How do Failing to Stop Tickets Affect Professional Drivers?

For professional drivers such as taxi, Uber, and Lyft operators, a failing to stop violation can put your livelihood at risk, especially if it adds to existing points on your driving record.

  • Points on a Commercial or TLC License: Accumulating too many points may lead to license suspension or revocation.
  • Higher Insurance Premiums: Commercial insurance costs are already high; additional violations can make coverage unaffordable.
  • Risk to Employment: Rideshare platforms and fleet owners may suspend or deactivate drivers with multiple violations.
  • Impact on TLC License Renewals: A poor driving record can jeopardize future renewals with the Taxi & Limousine Commission.

What are the Consequences of a Failing to Stop Ticket in NYC?

  • Fines: Costly penalties that add up quickly.
  • Driver’s License Points: Typically 3 points, which can bring you closer to suspension.
  • Insurance Premiums:  Convictions often lead to higher insurance premiums.
  • License Suspension from Cumulative Penalties: Multiple violations may result in suspension or revocation.

Should I Fight a Failing to Stop Ticket?

Paying the ticket is an admission of guilt. That means points on your license, higher insurance premiums, and risk to your driving privileges. Fighting the ticket gives you the chance to protect your record, your wallet, and your license.

What if I Plead Guilty to a Failing to Stop Ticket?

Many drivers think paying the fine is the fastest way to move on, but in New York City, pleading guilty to a traffic ticket is the same as admitting guilt. That means:

  • 3 points added to your license
  • Fines, fees, and surcharges that can exceed hundreds of dollars
  • Insurance increases that may last for years
  • Closer to suspension if you accumulate 11 points in 18 months

Once you plead guilty, the violation stays on your driving record. That’s why it’s almost always worth fighting the ticket, especially if you already have points on your license or you’re a professional driver.
