Starting February 2026, New York drivers will face much tougher rules for keeping their licenses. The state is lowering the suspension threshold to just 10 points over 24 months—meaning even a couple of minor tickets could take you off the road. Speeding just 1 mph over the limit now racks up 4 points, and using your phone while driving jumps to 6 points. Reckless driving or passing a stopped school bus? That’s 8 points each. Even small things like illegal U-turns and broken taillights will now count against you. How do you feel about these stricter penalties? Will this make our roads safer or just add stress for everyday drivers? #Transportation #NewYork #TrafficLaws
