Failure to Yield charges in New York
Failure to yield is charged when you allegedly didn't give right-of-way where required — at intersections, to pedestrians, or when merging. These tickets are common after minor collisions where fault is disputed. In New York, a conviction adds demerit points toward the New York DMV suspension threshold of 10 points in 24 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
Why fight your Failure to Yield ticket?
Defenses that actually work
Defenses focus on who actually had right-of-way, unclear or obstructed sightlines, the other driver's contributory conduct, and the absence of independent witnesses.
