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.

"Very professional and quick."
I'm happy to say today my wife was able to finally get her new license plates for NJ after the NY suspension was completely wiped from her record. Amazing turnaround. I like their no-nonsense approach.

Eric D.
"Most impressed by their availability to respond to me."
I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!

Vitalis
"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.

Talia
"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
"Reduced my son's fine considerably."
My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.

Paul
"I felt I could rely on Mr. Martin."
I would like to thank Mr. Martin for his quick and professional help! My traffic problem was resolved in the best possible way. I felt I could rely on Mr. Martin with my problems and was very secure regarding the outcome. It was a pleasure to work with and communicate. Thanks a lot for your help!

Natalia
"So personable and nice."
When I called the Firm I was very hesitant in even hiring an attorney but after speaking with the attorney I felt very comfortable in my decision in hiring an attorney. I had a reckless driving summons in NY and the attorney Lindsay Kron met me at court. She was so personable and nice. She was able to have my summons reduced to a no point no criminal violation with a minimal fine. This Firm is amazing and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them in the future.

Rachel
"One week later my ticket was dismissed."
Great decision+great attorney=great result
