    $1200 for 19 violations. No wonder people don’t care about the violations. Red light violation in my country is EUR 320 ($367)

      In theory he should be paying a lot more to car insurance because of the points and sheer amount of violations. But maybe he’s too wealthy to care about that either.

      Edit: In many states in the US, they will suspend the license if they get too many points from violations like running red lights or speeding. Not sure how it works in New York state however.

          Speeding and running red lights are moving violations. It’s possible to get a suspended license from getting 2-3 speeding or red light tickets in a row in some states.

            Yeah, but does that site differentiate between speeding and parking tickets? In my area you can rack up any amount of parking fines and the most it’ll do is you might need to pay them off before you can renew.

            But yeah, you get points for speeding past a certain amount over the limit, running lights, and other violations that concern the way you move (on public roads, parking lots are free for alls, though a DUI is a DUI even on private property).
