Understanding Speeding Tickets Under New York Law
Speeding in New York is governed by NY Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL). A conviction adds demerit points to your driving record: 3 points for 1-10 mph over the limit, 4 points for 11-20 mph over, 6 points for 21-30 mph over, 8 points for 31-40 mph over, and 11 points for 41+ mph over. Accumulating 11 points in 18 months triggers a license suspension. Additionally, the Driver Responsibility Assessment imposes a $100 per year fee for 3 years if you have 6 or more points.

Insider Knowledge: Fighting a Speeding Ticket in Wayne County
In Wayne County local Justice Courts, prosecutors routinely offer plea deals to reduce speeding to a non-moving violation, which carries no points. However, if your ticket was issued in a jurisdiction covered by the NYS Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB), such as Buffalo or Rochester, plea bargaining is not allowed — you must go to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
We have observed that many drivers who prepay their ticket miss the opportunity to negotiate. A simple phone call to an attorney can change the outcome.
- Do not prepay the ticket — it is a guilty plea.
- Contact a traffic attorney immediately to evaluate your case.
- Request discovery from the court, including radar calibration logs.
- Appear at your scheduled hearing with legal representation.
- Negotiate for a reduction to a non-moving violation or dismissal.
- If convicted, consider appealing or requesting a reduction in points.
