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. 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 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 prision time.

Speeding Fines in New York

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. If you are facing serious penalties, consider consulting with our New York speeding ticket attorney for guidance.

Potential Prison Sentences for Speeding in New York

Drivers may also face prison time for speeding.

As is the case with fines, the duration of potential prison sentences for speeding are also based on how fast motorists are driving:

Drivers who are caught traveling up to 10 mph over the posted speed limit may face up to 15 days in prison.
Those who are ticketed for traveling 10 mph or more over the limit could be sentenced to prison for up to 30 days.

The types of penalties that New York drivers may face as a result of speeding violations can vary greatly. This post has discussed some of the potential consequences of such criminal offenses; however, the final decision is up to the courts. Therefore, this should be taken only as general information and not considered professional legal advice.

Read What Our Clients Have to Say

"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!

Eileen
"Martin took care of two tickets that were worth 8 points on my license!"
Martin and his team were so professional, attentive, and responsive. I recommend Martin 100%!! Thank you so much. Very very much appreciated.

Christine
"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
"Trust me, he's your guy!!"
I had a complicated situation with 3 tickets and was in danger of losing my licence. Martin negotiated with the prosecutor, got my tickets reduced and I was able to keep my license. If you have traffic tickets, trust me, he's your guy!!

Satisfied Client
"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.

Sky
"Honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security"
I would like to personally thank Mr. Martin Kron for his help in getting a no left turn moving violation dismissed. I had a clean driving record with no moving violation and after speaking with Mr. Kron he made no guarantees and was honest with regards to the whole matter and never gave me a false sense of security as to what the final turn out would be. He said he would only do his best and I gave him my case. I was extremely worried because it was an injustice based on the circumstances and Mr. Kron was able to get the moving violation to dismiss and I thank him very much. I recommend Mr. Kron for traffic violations without hesitation, and again I say "Thank You" Mr. Kron.

Irving
"Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning."
In September 2015 I was faced with a very serious New York City traffic violation. I was very upset with the predicament I had gotten myself into & reached out to Martin A. Kron for legal counsel. Subsequent to explaining what happened Martin agreed to handle my case & assured me I was in good hands - at this point I formally retained Martin. I sweated out a possible suspended license - I was humiliated, embarrassed & humbled by the sheer recklessness of my actions. I swore to myself that if I got off with just a warning I would never ever disobey the traffic laws again. Via his expert legal acumen & experience, Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron to anyone facing a traffic violation. In summary, do not disobey the traffic laws - the consequences are just not worth it.

Robert
"Got me a great outcome!!"
Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!
