What is the real cost of a traffic ticket?

There are many different costs associated with a ticket. For example, a conviction to a speeding ticket can result in a fine payable to the court which can be more than $600.00. This same ticket can also result in a fine known as a surcharge. Although the surcharge is paid to the court, it is money that is earmarked for New York State. Furthermore, a conviction to a major traffic violation can result in an insurance increase which may affect your premiums for years to come. There are also, ancillary costs such as points on your licenses which can result in a suspension of your privilege to drive. A conviction to too many points can result in New York State assessing a Driver's Responsibility Assessment against the driver. At the very minimum, this will cost the driver a few hundred dollars. What about the cost in terms of time? If you wish to avoid some of the financial costs associated with a ticket, it will also cost you time to appear in court. In many courts, fighting a ticket can result in multiple court appearances. Finally, many motorist do not realize that a court can impose a serious sanction of incarceration. Although it is rarely imposed, at the very least, a speeding ticket can result in a 15 day jail sentence.
