Some of the penalties that may apply to you and the points and fines associated with certain offenses are listed below.
In order to determine how many points are associated with your ticket, note how many miles per hour (mph) over the speed limit the officer said you were going. Then, use this table to determine the number of points you are facing.
New York Speeding Ticket Points:
-
Speeding 1-10 mph over the limit = 3 points
-
Speeding 11-20 mph over the limit = 4 points
-
Speeding 21-30 mph over the limit = 6 points
-
Speeding 31-40 mph over the limit = 8 points
-
Speeding 41 mph + over the limit = 11 points
At 11 points the NY DMV will suspend your NY license or NY driving privileges (if you live out of state). Any points accumulated within a given 18 month period count towards suspension. If you have a CDL License or a Junior License the penalties can be even more severe.
In addition to the points on your license, traffic tickets in New York carry high fines. Every New York speeding ticket carries a court fine and mandatory New York State surcharge. Use the table below to determine the fine associated with your ticket:
1180(a) Speed Not Reasonable and Prudent = $45-$150
1180(b), 1180(d) Speeding:
• 1-10 mph over the limit = $90-$300
• 11-30 mph over the limit = $180-$600
• 31+ mph over the limit = $360-$1200
1180(c) Speeding in a School Zone (7am-6pm on a school day):
• 1-10 mph over the limit = $90-$300
• 11-30 mph over the limit = $180-$600
