So, if you are reading this, the first thing you may ask, or even say out loud, is вЂњ What the hell is a Driver Responsibility Assessment and why should I pay it?вЂќ What I wasnвЂ™t prepared for, was the volume of daily telephone calls and website inquires I received from drivers who already plead guilty to their Speeding or Traffic Tickets and were mesmerized to find out that after they accepted the points and paid their fines and surcharges to the court, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (вЂњDMVвЂќ), poured lemon juice on their paper cut, by demanding that they pay a Driver Responsibility Assessment (вЂњDRAвЂќ) or risk having their New York State (and possibly their home state) driving privileges suspended. Like any attorney, the idea was to help people, increase business and get more clients. *IF YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES WITH REGARD TO SPECIFIC DRIVER RESPONSIBILITY ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL DMV AT 51.ДЄ while back, I wrote a blog post called вЂњ New York State Driver Responsibility Assessment And Out Of State DriversвЂќ with the hope that both New York and Out-of-State drivers receiving Speeding and Traffic Tickets in the State of New York would read the article and contact me before they plead guilty.
