Final answer:
The NYS Department of Motor Vehicles does record convictions of moving traffic violations by NYS non-commercial licensed drivers in other jurisdictions, except for traffic offenses committed in Ontario and Quebec in Canada.
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles does record convictions of moving traffic violations by NYS non-commercial licensed drivers in other jurisdictions, with the exception of traffic offenses committed in Ontario and Quebec in Canada. When a driver receives a moving violation conviction in another jurisdiction, the NYS DMV is typically notified, and the conviction is recorded on the driver's record.
For example, if a driver with a NYS non-commercial license receives a speeding ticket in California, the conviction will be recorded on their NYS driving record. However, if the offense occurs in Ontario or Quebec, it will not be recorded.
It's important for drivers to be aware that traffic violations committed in other jurisdictions can still affect their driving privileges and insurance rates, even if they do not appear on their NYS driving record.
