Tip: It is always a good idea to arrive early to your court appearance. Arriving late could result in your court case being called prior to your arrival.

Come Prepared: We recommend that litigants bring their court notice and driving record with them to court. The court notice will help a court personnel direct you if you have been displaced. You driving record, if it is clean, can be persuasive in mitigating your case.

Security: The court is a secure place, as such you will be asked to walk though a magnetometer upon arrival. Please turn off all electronic devices and dispose of any food and drinks.

Court Clerk: The court clerk helps the judge with their everyday duties. Many times the court clerk also sends letters to litigants, collects fine monies and helps answer day-to-day questions.

A conviction to a speeding ticket can be costly. A driver charged with 80/55 (25 mph over) is facing a 6-point violation. There are many sentencing options available to the judge. Some of the sentences can include jail, a fine of almost $400.00, and a discretionary license suspension. A conviction to charge can also result in an additional minimum $300.00 fine payable to DMV. Further, depending on a driver’s driving record, this conviction can also result in hundreds in insurance increases and a license suspension.

Points may vary depending on the driver’s speed. Please take a look at the following chart for more details.

Suspension: There are a few reasons as to why a driver may get suspended. Some reasons include obtaining 11 points on their license, getting two violations in a work zone, failure to answering a ticket, or failure to paying court fines and fees.

Junior License: If you have a speeding violation and are still in possession of a junior license, you would have to handle your case with caution. New York State has stringent guidelines for young drivers. In many cases, you may have to appear in court regardless of your plea.

Entering a Plea: Instructions on how you can enter your plea are provided on your ticket. It is important you enter your plea before the date provided on your ticket.
