How does the New York point system work?
New York has a point system in place as a way to keep track and penalize high-risk drivers. If you were caught speeding by law enforcement and have received a ticket, there is a high chance that you will obtain points on your license. It is important to recognize that the amount of points you receive heavily depends on how fast you were driving at the time you were issued your ticket. The point system for speeding tickets in New York State includes the following:
- 1-10 miles per hour over the speed limit: This is a 3 point violation
- 11-20 miles per hour over the speed limit: This is a 4 point violation
- 21-30 miles per hour over the speed limit: This is a 6 point violation
- 31-40 miles per hour over the speed limit: This is an 8 point violation
- 41+ miles per hour over the speed limit: This is an 11 point violation
It is important to recognize that if you accumulate 11 points in 18 months, you will most likely have your license suspended. Also, no matter how many points you have, your insurance premium will likely spike, which insinuates that you will be paying for your speeding ticket for months or years to come.

Will I get fined for a speeding ticket?
In addition to points on your license, you will also likely have fines to pay. Furthermore, if you have received at least 6 points within the last 18 months, you will need to pay an annual surcharge of $100 for three years. Every point you receive after those 6 will be an additional $25 fine. Do not wait to reach out to our firm today. Our skilled legal team is here to fight for you and your future.
