While section 1110a – disobeying a traffic device – may may seem like a minor violation, it can carry significant consequences for professional drivers working the bustling streets of New York City. For drivers licensed by the city’s Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC), the implications of an 1110a ticket are twofold: the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) assigns two points to the driver’s license AND the TLC counts these two points against their TLC record. This can have a substantial impact on a driver’s career, affecting their ability to work and earn a living.
In such situations, it is crucial for taxi and for-hire vehicle drivers to find a qualified lawyer – someone with a deep understanding of the laws that affect our industry and significant experience protecting the rights of drivers. Whether the ticket is issued by an NYPD officer or another law enforcement agent (in NYC or elsewhere in the state), a knowledgeable attorney can make a huge difference in the outcome of a given case.
