How Many Points Can I Get for Speeding in New York?
Unfortunately, New York speeding tickets can add points to your driving record, which can have serious ramifications further down the road, including triggering the Driver Responsibility Assessment. 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:
- 4 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 40 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
What are the Penalties for a Speeding Violation in New York?
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, but the most common penalties are fines and prison time.

"He was always calm and patient with me."Martin is absolutely the best at what he does! He helped me from beginning to end with an improper cell phone use ticket. He made himself available for me consistently and returned my calls if he wasn't able to speak. He explained things in detail and answered all my questions. I literally bugged this man with questions because of my anxiety and he was always calm and patient with me. On the date of my court hearing, I walk right in and right out as he tells me I got your case dismissed. I had the biggest smile on my face and I was certainly relieved. Hands down he is an excellent communicator and is surely effective! Thank you, Martin!Tasha

"The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him."Martin Kron and his office did a wonderful job helping me with traffic tickets that were more than 3 years old!!! The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him and his professionalism. His associates in his office were very very nice, timely and helpful. He was always reachable and actually made the experiment fun... I was worried I would have to pay high fines because I had not done anything about these tickets for so many years, but because of Martin and his relationships with the courts, I really got great fines with no points added to my license!!! I forwarded his information to several of my friends because we finished so quickly. I would refer him again at any time.Darra

"I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it."I am very happy with Mr. Kron's help. He had my ticket for driving with lapsed insurance in New Jersey (1st offense, no bad driving history) dismissed, all I had to pay were $33.00 in court fees. I am so glad I chose his firm, his fee was well worth it.Mariya

"We were up first and out first."Marty met me 15 minutes before court was due to start exactly as we agreed. He spoke to the prosecutor and as indicated in the title, cut the points on my two tickets from 8 to 2, reduced my fines by a third, and we were out of court in 45 minutes. Had they started on time it would have been only 30 minutes instead of the hours it might have been with all the people that showed up. We were up first and out first. I bet he was there quite a bit earlier than I was to accomplish this feat.Jeff

"I walked out with my best possible outcome."
After receiving a ticket for driving in a construction zone, I reached out to Marty who was highly recommended to me. Marty was terrific and clearly laid out all the possible scenarios. Sometimes court can be overwhelming (points, no points, fine, reduced fine, guilty vs not guilty) yet Marty made everything simple and focused on what outcome was most important for me. Due to Marty, I walked in confident and walked out with my best possible outcome
I hope to not be in court again for any type of traffic violation but Marty will be my first call if I need assistance and anyone else reading this should do the same.

"Excellent Service!"Once I called Mr. Kron's office, all of my issues were resolved. He took the time to review my case and recommend the best solutions for me; even from a financial perspective. I will recommend him to ANYONE who requests legal aid in his coverage area and will be calling him again if I find myself in another bind.Kevin
