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.

    "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
    "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
    "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
    "BEST DEAL IN NYC!!!"
    Had tons of old traffic tickets in NYC. Mr. Kron got them reopened and thrown out. I got emails all the time telling what was going on but I never had to appear.

    "Very easy to reach either him or his office."
    Martin is an excellent attorney. He got the results I needed and it was very easy to reach either him or his office. Martin will be the only red light/speeding attorney that I ever use.

    "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.
    Augie
    "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!
