Driving smoothly and easily speeding, it is inevitable to be caught by speed cameras and receive a ticket even if unsure if one has been fined. This uncertainty can lead to anxiety, but there are ways to alleviate it by using online search tools promptly.
SILive news website introduces two search tools. The first and most direct method is through New York City’s online search tool for parking and violation records. By entering the license plate number, it will show whether there have been recent tickets issued for speeding, running red lights, illegal parking, or other violations. The website address is: https://nycserv.nyc.gov/
Drivers can also download the “NYC Pay or Dispute” app to search for unpaid tickets by license plate number and choose to pay the fines or file an appeal.
For those wishing to look up past ticket records or check for any outstanding fines, they can visit the “How’s My Driving in New York?” website at: https://www.howsmydrivingny.nyc/
This website utilizes public information from New York City to display the number of tickets issued for a particular vehicle, reasons for the citations, and whether the fines have been paid or are still outstanding.
However, it’s important to note that there may be delays with all these online search tools. It takes five working days for tickets issued for parking violations to appear online, and for manually issued citations (rather than automatically recorded ones), it may take up to 14 days before they are posted online.
