Questions and Answers With a Patterson, NY Ticket Lawyer
How Quickly Does a Plea of not Guilty Need to be Mailed Back to the Court?One of the more frequent questions I am asked is, “How quickly do I have mail my ticket back to the court with a plea?”
Technically speaking, when a driver is responding to the speeding ticket by mail, they have 48 hours to enter a plea.
How Many Points Am I Facing?A speeding conviction can result in as little as 3 points against a driver’s license and as many at 11 points. While there are many scenarios that may trigger a license suspension or revocation, one of the most common scenarios involve a driver accumulating more than 11 points within an 18 month period.
| Speeding | Points |
| 01 to 10 mph over the limit | 3 |
| 11 to 20 | 4 |
| 21 to 30 | 6 |
| 31 to 40 | 8 |
| More than 40 | 11 |
When a driver is convicted of speeding, the judge has the option of imposing a fine as prescribed by law. The fine amount should take into consideration the specific facts and circumstances of the case. On every speeding ticket the court is required to impose a mandatory New York State surcharge. The surcharge is the monies designated for New York State. Fine will increase depending on the nature of the conviction and whether or not the driver is a deemed to be a repeat offender.
| 1st time Conviction Within Eighteen (18) Months | Minimum Fine | Maximum Fine | Maximum Imprisonment | Points on Driving Record | Surcharge |
| 10 mph or less | $45.00 | $150.00 | n/a | 3 | $88.00 or $93.00 |
| 11-30 mph | $90.00 | $300.00 | 30 Days | 4-6 | $88.00 or $93.00 |
