What kind of traffic violations fall under the jurisdiction of the TVB?

The Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) of the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV/RMV) handles a wide range of traffic violations. These include non-criminal offenses committed within the five boroughs of New York City, as well as Rochester and Buffalo. The TVB deals with violations such as speeding, disobeying traffic signs or signals, improper turns, driving without a valid license or insurance, and other similar infractions. These violations are typically classified as traffic tickets, also known as Uniform Traffic Tickets (UTTs), and are adjudicated through administrative hearings instead of criminal courts. As a result, the TVB handles a significant volume of cases efficiently and expeditiously, ensuring fair and swift resolutions for drivers involved in traffic violations within its jurisdiction.
