Court tip: if you are a litigant in court, it is important to remember that the court is considered a place of respect. You will be asked to walk through a magnetometer for a security check. All attendees are asked to dress appropriately; turn off all electronic devices, and to leave all food and drinks outside of the court.

Ticket Information

If you are found guilty of speeding, there are many different ways in which it may affect you. This can include but is not limited to fines payable to the court, penalties payable to the Department of Motor Vehicles, insurance increases, and incarceration.

The “Uniform Traffic Ticket” also referred to as UTT contains useful information such as what you are charged with, the time of the occurrence, date of the offense, mph, description of violation, highway number, highway type, and the officer’s name.

What Fines Will I Face?

A conviction to an 86/65 mph zone can result in a fine of about $400.00, with an additional $300.00 fine payable to the department of motor vehicles, 6 points on a driving record, and significant insurance increase.

Upon resolution of your matter, judges prefer that a fine be paid before the close of business. As a professional courtesy, most courts will afford our clients a two-week grace period to pay their fine.

Fines that are imposed by a Judge are set by the New York State Legislature and codified within the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law. There are limits to the amount that driver can be fined.
