NYC Speeding Ticket Points: What You Need to Know

Unfortunately, NYC speeding tickets can lead to severe consequences for drivers. They can add points to your driving record. If you are convicted of three (3) speeding tickets received within 18 months, your license will be revoked for a minimum of six months.

The speeding point system includes:

  • 3 points for driving 1 to 10 mph over the limit
  • 4 points for driving 11 to 20 mph over the limit
  • 6 points for driving 21 to 30 mph over the limit
  • 8 points for driving 31 to 40 mph over the limit
  • 11 points for driving over 40 mph above the limit

Understanding Penalties for Speeding in NYC

There are any number of reasons why people in New York City, and elsewhere, may drive in excess of the speed limit. While it may seem minor, speeding on New York roads can result in serious legal issues for motorists, regardless of the reasoning. There are a number of penalties that may be levied on drivers of non-commercial vehicles who are caught exceeding the speed limit, many of which far outweigh a simple slap on the wrist.

Speeding Fines in New York: What to Expect

Fines are a common consequence for motorists who are ticketed for speeding in New York. Generally, these fines are based on how fast a driver is going in relation to the posted speed limit. According to the SafeNY website, New York drivers may be:

  • Fined anywhere between $90 and $150 if they are caught traveling up to 10 mph over the posted speed limit
  • The fines increase to between $180 and $300 for those drivers who are going between 10 and 30 mph over the speed limit
  • For motorists who are caught driving in excess of 30 mph over the posted speed limit, the fines they may face can be between $360 and $600. 

Typically, the fines are doubled for NY drivers who are found to be speeding in work zones. In addition to fines, points may be added to your record.

    "Both tickets dismissed!"
    I received two cell phone tickets in the past year because I was using the GPS on my cell phone. Mr. Kron was able to get both tickets dismissed and put me at ease along the way.

    "SAVED MY LICENSE"
    My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.

    "He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
    Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.

    "It's a relief knowing they are on my side."

    I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.

    "No fine and no points on my license!"
    Martin is an excellent lawyer. I had a hearing for a cell phone ticket that I forgot about. I called him 1 day before and Martin attended the hearing the following day in my absence and got me a No Guilty Fee! Resulting in no fine and more importantly - no points on my license!

    "Mr. Kron is wonderful!"
    Mr. Martin A. Kron is a knowledgeable, professional, effective and caring Attorney. And finding this combination is very rare. He treats you like a client, but he also treats you like family. I have gotten speeding tickets in the past and handled them myself. But this was a DWI Ticket (and a careless driving ticket) and I was petrified. I found Mr. Martin Kron, and he was wonderful. He believed what I had to say, he walked me through the process, and he even gave me his cell number and home email so that I could contact him any time I felt scared or confused. The first court date was just to enter the plea. Mr. Kron spoke with the Prosecutor prior to the second court appearance and we were hoping that based on the evidence, the Prosecutor would dismiss the tickets. No such luck. I think the Prosecutor wanted another "win" in his column, and I was going to be it. Mr. Kron presented our case and the Prosecutor presented why he had grounds to proceed to trial. But Mr. Kron professionally stood his ground and the 2 tickets were dismissed that day! I couldn't more highly recommend an attorney! Mr. Kron is wonderful!

    "I received invaluable advice on my case."
    I received a ticket for driving with an expired license and thought I'd go to court myself without consulting an attorney. However, last minute, a friend recommended Mr. Kron. Without much notice, I received invaluable advice on my case which spanned both NY and NJ traffic laws. Instead of having my license suspended, I received a minimal fine. I would highly recommend Mr. Kron He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and I'm very grateful I did not go at it alone.

    "I was out of the court in 20 minutes."
    Marty is a professional, and a very caring person. Recently on my way to daughters graduation, I entered HOV lane at GW Bridge. On his advise I pleaded guilty but the points were waived. He met me at the court and we went before the judge right away and I was out of the court in 20 minutes.
