Driver’s Manual | 19 The DMV Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) pro- cesses the tickets for non-criminal moving traffic  violations issued in the five boroughs of New York  City. The TVB system allows the other courts in  these areas to concentrate on criminal cases. This  includes driving offenses like Driving While Intox- icated (DWI) and driving while suspended or re- voked. In other areas of the state, traffic violations  are processed in the criminal and traffic court of  the city, county, town or village where the alleged  offense occurred. No matter what court system  is involved, every motorist who receives a traffic  ticket can present a defense and be represented  by a lawyer. If you are under 21 years old and convicted of  any alcohol or drug-related violation that occurred  out of state, your New York driver license will be  revoked for at least one year. If you have any  alcohol conviction your license will be revoked for  at least one year or until the age of 21, whichever  is longer. The New York State Department of Motor  Vehicles records the conviction of any New York  driver for criminal negligence, homicide, or assault  that arises from the operation of a motor vehicle  and which results in death. The driver license or  privilege to drive will be revoked and vehicle registrations may also be revoked. It does not  matter if the conviction occurred in this state or  another state. The New York State Department of Motor  Vehicles does not record convictions of moving  traffic violations by NYS non-commercial licensed  drivers in other jurisdictions, except traffic offens- es committed in the provinces of Ontario and  Quebec in Canada. Out-of-state traffic convic- tions, except for Ontario and Quebec, are not  added to your New York State “violation point”  driving record. However, your New York driver license will  be suspended if you fail to answer a ticket for a  moving traffic violation in any state except Alaska,  California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wis- consin. Your license will remain suspended until  you answer the ticket. For clearance of your NYS  driver license or permit you must submit proof  to the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles that  the ticket has been satisfied. If you are a driver  from any state, except one of the six states listed  above, you will have your driver license suspend- ed in your own state if you fail to answer a moving  traffic violation summons in New York State. If you are over 21 years old and are convicted  of an alcohol- or drug-related driving violation  (e.g., DUI) in another state or the provinces of  Ontario and Quebec in Canada, your New York  driver license will be revoked for at least 90 days.  Out-of-state drivers who get tickets in New York  State can contact the motor vehicle department of  their own state or province about how a conviction affects them. Your driver license or driving privilege can be  suspended or revoked for many reasons. NOTE:  Motorboat and snowmobile operators less than 21  years old who drink alcohol face similar penalties  and sanctions against their privileges to operate a  motorboat or snowmobile. Examples of revoca- tions and suspensions that are required by law: • Aggravated driving while intoxicated (Agg- DWI), with .18 of one percent blood alcohol  content (.18 BAC): minimum one-year revocation. • Driving while intoxicated (DWI), with .08  of one percent blood alcohol content (.08  BAC): minimum six-month revocation • Driving while ability impaired by alcohol  (DWAI): 90-day suspension. • Driving while ability impaired by drugs  (DWAI-drug): minimum six-month suspen- sion • Driving under the influence of alcohol or  drugs out-of-state (DUI): minimum 90-day to six-month revocation, depending on conviction.
