Knowledge is Power: The more you know about the speeding ticket process, the better prepared you will be for the speeding ticket experience. Here is some basic information about the court.

Security: The court is a secure place, as such all litigants are required to walk through a magnetometer. It is advised that all sharp objects or weapons of any kind are not brought into the court. Please do no bring food or drinks into the court as well.

Pleading Guilty: Pleading guilty to a speeding ticket can have long-term financial consequences that may cost drivers hundreds in fines, penalties, and insurance increases. A study by a leading insurance company concluded that the national average increase for a speeding conviction is 11% - 15%. In other words, this is the median increase. Some drivers will not receive an increase while others will receive a much larger increase.

Burden of Proof: Tickets in Town and Village Courts must meet the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Many legal scholars have debated exactly what is meant by proof beyond a reasonable doubt. However, everyone agrees that it is the highest standard of proof in the US judicial system.

How many points will I face?

A speeding violation is anywhere between 3-11 points. There is no such thing in New York State as a 1 point violation. Take a look at the following chart for a brief outline:
