Many traffic violations are considered infractions and are only punishable by a fine; however, they may still have a negative impact upon your driver's license status due to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) demerit point system and depending on the severity of your traffic allegation, a moving violation can carry serious consequences from both the DMV and the courts to include: a term of incarceration, a driver?s license suspension or revocation, community service, excessive fines, and ultimately increased automobile insurance premiums.
If convicted of a Hanover Traffic Violation, the Hanover Court will transmit the conviction order to the DMV, and the DMV will post the conviction to your driving record, assign you as many as 6 demerit points according to the severity of the offense, and notify your automobile insurance company upon request. The number of years that the conviction stays on your DMV record depends on the severity of the violation. In some cases, the conviction remains on your record permanently. And for driver?s license in another state, the DMV will transmit the conviction order to your home state DMV, which in turn will typically take action against you as if you were convicted of the traffic case in your home state.
