Wow, thanks guys for your thoughtful replies. Seriously, I was worried about losing my license but you reffered me to the right reading materials and now I see that 6 points can't possibly revoke my license from me.
I was going to lose much sleep but thanks to your help I will rest easy knowing i'm not losing my job from lack of ability to go there!
Thanks everyone.

EVen if you got the full six points (which YOU WILL NOT, if you plea not guilty by mail and show up on the date they send you), you can knock four off by taking a defensive driving course.
ALso remember this. If you get reduced to 3 points and you take the defensive drivers course, it will knock your suspension record down to zero, BUT you loose the benefit of that 1 other point. You do not get a -1. So some of us high milage, high risk drivers wait until we have at least 4 points before using that course to reduce. BUT it does give you 10% off your collision.
ALSO, the defensive driving course does not remove ANY points towrd the 6 it takes to get that DRIVERS ASSESSMENT BS. That is right, the extortion points cannot be reduced!
BTW- If you get over 6 points and get that driver assessment, you either pay your $300 up front, OR you pay $100 a year for three years. And as much as I would have loved to get it over with, I said screw them and made them wait for it. My third and final payment I actually have to make tonight. As if the taxes I pay on my business's and my income, and my house wasn't enough...................not to mention the fine I paid on my tickets.................
I have to get out of NY (The Suck you dry state)
