1. Figure out whether you should fight your ticket or just plead guilty and pay the fine:
Do not plead guilty to the charge and fight your ticket! Police Officers and prosecutors want you to plead guilty to speeding charges because it makes their job very easy. Pleading guilty means you give up your rights to a trial and you automatically have to pay fines, take on points to your license and pay higher insurance rates.
Pleading guilty means you throw in the towel and are not even fighting all the damaging consequences of a speeding ticket when in reality you are innocent until PROVEN guilty. In many cases an attorney can win you a dismissal (all charges are dropped and you incur no fines or penalties) or you can get a reduction in fines and points. Here are some reasons why you should fight your speeding ticket:
- Excessive Fines & Surcharges
- Points on your license
- Higher Insurance Premiums
- Possible License Suspension & Revocation
- Possible State Fines - New York Drivers Responsibility Assessment
- Possible unemployment

hi,
I’m going to traffic court tomorrow for speeding 95 in a 55 in Suffolk county. I know for a fact that I wasn’t going 95 but I’m only 17 years old so it’s my word against theirs. I’m going to try pleading not quilts but how many points will I likely end up with on my license?
Suffolk has a new violations bureau so you have to play it by ear. However, if you want to hire a lawyer call us at 888-883-5529.
Hello, I’m commenting regarding my fathers traffic ticket. (I’m 16 and my English isn’t that good!)
My father had recently received a ticket for speeding in a work zone. It says that he was going 75 mph in a 40 mph zone. It was 1:30 am..; which I believe that there wouldn’t be any workers working during 1 a.m.? (Not sure if work zone meant that people are constructing the roads.)
In the back of the ticket, it says that if you were 21-30 mph over speed limit in a work zone, you’re required to pay $360. It also says that you have to add a mandatory $60 surcharge and $20 fee… Do I need to pay that? Is the total $480?
Also, my dad is currently unemployed, our income is not balanced with the outcome, we need my grand parents help in order to pay bills. Our only income source is from my mom, which she doesn’t get paid a lot.
Hi Sophie,
I’m sorry to hear about your father’s traffic ticket. Unfortunately the fines and penalties are really high for speeding tickets in New York. If your father was traveling between 21-30 over the speed limit it carries about a $435 fine/surcharge fee. That is also a 6 point ticket that carries an additional $300 to be paid to the DMV for the Driver Responsibility Program. You should give us a call for a free consultation so we can let you know how to fight this case and save your family money with fines/surcharges and insurance premiums. Call today at 888-883-5529.
Hi, I just got pulled over. I was going 79 in a 55. It was in Armonk, NY. Do you know how much the ticket will cost or what I can do?
Hi Nicholas,
You are being charged with a 6 point ticket that carries a fine of $300 and an $85 surcharge. 6 points on your license will also result in the DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment fine of $100/year for 3 years. $685 in fines and surcharges all together but if you hire our firm we can get a reduction on the points and fines, guaranteed! Call today at 888-883-5529 for a free consultation.
I received a speeding ticket going 50 in a 30 in zone in Brooklyn, ny. however, it was in august of 2012 and school year was over so no classes were in session. I noticed that the intersection on where i was pulled over was spelled incorrectly. do i have any shot of perhaps getting it dismissed? This is my first offense and I have been driving for 10 years with no driviing record. I plead not guilty and plan on fighting it!
An incorrect spelling is almost never grounds for dismissal. This is Traffic Violations Bureau so your case will have to go to trial if you want a chance at avoiding the 4 points. Call me if you want to discuss. -Adam
Hi I recently got a ticket for going 92 in a 55mph zone ,the officer claim he clocked me with a radar even thoe, I was in the opposite lane of his vehicle going the opposite way of him and i was wondering if a public attorney could help get this ticket dismissed?
When you say “public attorney” are you talking about a public defender? If that’s what you mean the answer is no. You do not have the right to a free lawyer for a traffic ticket. You can hire a private attorney though. See http://www.ticketdefenselaw.com

Hi, I am a NJ resident who received a speeding ticket of 92 mph in a 65 zone, which is an 1180D. I know that If I plead guilty, I will have to pay the fee of 300 dollars for the speed, 85-100 dollars for the court fees, and an additional 100 dollars a year for the next three. I have had a clean driving record for the last 2 1/2 years and never anything in NY. After speaking with a different attorney, he informed me that the court could move to suspend my license, which due to the This doesn’t seem correct, and just wanted a second opinion.
Under VTL 510, any judge in NYS has the power to suspend a driver’s license. I think that it is unlikely especially if you have good quality representation. Feel free to contact me to discuss your case in greater detail.

I got a ticket this past saturday morning in monroe county. I was in town for my wedding on saturday (4.13.13). I had just picked up a rental suburban as a surprise for my bride so we’d have something nice to drive in, and I was running late to get to her parents house where we were all getting ready. I was so focused and worried about the wedding that I was oblivious to the suburban and didn’t realize how fast I was going. I thought I was going low 70s and the officer listed me at 80. After he issued the citation he inquired why i was in town, and when i said for my wedding at 2pm at the genesee yacht club he said he wished he knew that earlier as he knew how stressful it could be, as he’s been married 17 years. advice?

Are points added to your license for driving with no seat belt?
Marlene, If you are convicted of driving with no seat belt and you’re over the age of 16 no points will be added to your license.
I foolishly plead guilty to a speeding ticket ( just wanted to get it over with quikly by mail) was convicted paid the $175.00 fine and thought that would be the end of it. Instead I recieved a notice from DMV that my licence will be suspeneded for 60 days and I will have to pay an additional $75 for a restricted licence and $35 to lift my suspension. In addition I am pretty sure my insurance will increase and I will have points on my licence. All because I just wanted to get my granddaughter to the “potty” I was only passing another car the officer said I was going 80 in a 65mile zone. I have been driving on and off for over 30 Years but this was the first 6 months with a new licence. I had my permit for years without so much as a blink in my direction from a police officer. Is it to late to fix this mess?
Hi Margie,
First we would have to make a Motion to Vacate the guilty plea but whether we can do it or what our chances are depends on the court and the charges. Which court handled your ticket and what was the speed they said you were going and the speed limit?
Best,
Adam H. Rosenblum
I was caught doing 89 in a 65 zone. I have a Texas license. I live in Syracuse then court is in Binghamton. Should I go that court? How much should i pay for that? If i hire lawyer, how much should I pay for that?

So I got a 82 in a 50 speeding ticket in Queens County. The cop noted I had my 2 year old in the car. I was told I should seek assistance, but am worried of spending the money for an attorney since the City doesn’t plea. How much would it be total for a ticket like that? If I fight it, could they use my daughter against me and get me for reckless endangerment?

My post from this afternoon seems to be missing so here we go again.
Received “Driver’s View Obstructed” (Section Sub Section: 37530) in Sullivan County, NY on Rt 17. Officer stated he was writing citation due to seeing childs toy loaded in back of car right inside rear hatch window of SUV. Toy was only a few inches wider than the headrest in the seat right in front of it.
Vehicle does have two working and correctly aimed outside mirrors so I did have full unobstructive view behind vehicle using them.
Is this a points ticket? Should I fight it?
Received ticket for “drivers view obstructed” (Section sub section 375-30) on Rte 17 in Roscoe, NY due to childs toy in rear of SUV by rear hatch window. Vehicle has two outside mirrors which had no obstructed view. Officer explained ticket to me and said ticket would be minor fine and no points. Is this correct? fight it or just send it in and then pay it?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Hi Rob,
Section 375-30 Driver’s view obstructed carries a $150 fine and an $85 surcharge. The officer is right that there is no points to the ticket. You can possible fight to have the fine reduced in court or you can just pay the ticket, its your decision. Hope this helps!

I got a speeding ticket in ny. I was over 28 mph on the 30 speeding zone and I got 1108D. Now I dont know how much will be the fine and how many point will they take from me?
Baheer,
You have been charged with a 6 point ticket that carries a $300 fine and an $85 surcharge. In addition the state of New York can fine you the DMV Driver’s Responsibility Assessment which is $100 per year over 3 years. Also VA and New York are members of the driver’s license compact and will communicate traffic violation matters between each other, this can result in points against your VA license.

I am from NJ and recieved a ticket for doing 70 in a 65 on 684. From what I found, this is a 3 point ticket in NY and a 2 points on my NJ license. I know my insurance will not go up, but will there be any surcharges to the NJ DMV?
Steven,
When 2 points are transferring to New Jersey you will not be fined a separate surcharge. States are not allowed to fine you twice for the same offense. For more information on New Jersey traffic tickets click here.
By the way, I have an international license.
Hi, I got a ticket going 90 in a 65 zone and 30 min later, I got an another ticket going 82 in a 65 zone. those officers were from different town, so I have to go to different court to attend hearing. I do not have NYS drivers license, but it was my car that i was driving.
Hi Nick,
I guess when it rains it pours. The first speeding ticket 90/65 is 6 points, $300 fine and $85 surcharge. The second is 4 points, also $300 fine and $85 surcharge. You are very close to losing your driving privileges in NY as well (11 points for suspension). There are several questions that need to be addressed for your court cases so I would recommend that you give us a ring at 888-883-5529 so we can give you a free consultation. In addition to the fines you will also be paying a separate DMV driver responsibility assessment fee to NY (10 points is $600 fine paid out over 3 years). We can help you fight these tickets and save you hundreds in excessive fines, fees and possible insurance rate increases. See what kind of work we do by visiting our reviews page here.
Hi, I have been driving for 20 years and today I got my first ticket. I was caught doing 40 in a 15 mile school zone.

I got a ticket that was originally for speeding but the officer gave me it for a dirty licence plate.. I don’t have much money so should I just plead guilty or go into court and have to pay the fines plus the court surcharge? Would I have to pay a court surcharge if I sent the ticket in and plead guilty?
You should contact the court and ask what your fine is for this case. Any surcharge that is added onto a traffic ticket is mandatory and is attached regardless whether you pay your ticket by mail or go to court. You may be able to fight to have the fine or penalty reduced in court. For more information about our firm please visit our website at http://www.ticketdefenselaw.com
Hello, I got a ticket for going 41mph in a 30mph zone and got charged with 1180D. I was driving my friend home and he was giving me directions when I got pulled over. There were no recent signs (except for one that was further up the road) indicating the 30mph speed limit and I have no marks or points on my license what so ever. I sent the ticket in not-guilty and was offered a plea bargain for a 1110A, but still don’t think I deserve points on my license, do you think it’s worth going to trial?
Hi Sally,
We may be able to negotiate a better reduction on your behalf and get the results you are looking for.

I was pulled over in the driveway to work. I’m a school bid driver. I passed the officer as I was coming in and he then turned around and followed me in,pulling me over. He said I was doing 35 in a 20 school zone. 1180c. Is it true I will have to do jail time and lose my cdl? I sent my ticket in not guilty. As I feel it wasn’t me he triggered.
Thank you

Hi Megan,
You are being charged with a 4 point speeding ticket, which is a $300 fine and an $85 surcharge. If you get 6 points on your license you will be required to pay the DMV fine known as the Driver Responsibility Assessment at $100 a year for 3 years. The fines listed above does not take into account what affect this ticket can have on your insurance.
The good news is that we can help you fight this ticket and get you a more favorable outcome. A negotiation/settlement will also avoid the fact that the officer took down your statement since we will reach an agreement before his testimony will come into play during trial. The best part is that you will not be required to go to court if you hire an attorney to represent you. We can help you fight this ticket and save you hundreds in fines and insurance rate increases. Please call me for a free consultation over the phone at 888-883-5529.

Hi. I was pulled over today in Middletown NY going 79 in a 65. I am a resident of NJ. Do points carry over to my state, and what type of fines am I looking at. The only thing that I can see that I may be able to fight is that he wrote the car is black. My car is clearly a light blue. Is this worth my time to fight, or get a lawyer, or will I still most likely receive 4 points and the fines? Thank you for your time.

Is there a maximum legal surcharge on a speeding ticket in NY state. $200 ticket with an $850 surcharge seems excessive (going 88 in a 65 zone)
James,
The surcharge is $85 not $850. If you would like to fight your ticket and same money on your fines and reduce the points on your license give us a ring a 888-883-5529.
HI i just got a driver responsibly statement saying i owe the dmv $825 from ticket i received in 2006. Is there any way to fight this or get it lowered, it’s a little ridiculous that im getting this 7 years after the fact.
Hi Erik,
Unfortunately if you have 6 points or more in New York you are charged with the Driver’s Responsibility Assessment which is issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. I would contact the NY’s DMV for more information about the fines and why you are getting the notice late. After you plead guilty to a charge and have 6 points or more the DMV charges you $100/yr for 3 years. For each point you have over 6 they charge an additional $25. For more information click here.
Hello, I was pulled over in Wallkill, NY doing 82 in a 65. 1180D. I was driving from PA. I have never had an accident, or even been pulled over, can I use my clean driving record to fight the ticket? Will this do any good. I have been driving for 8 years. Also in order to use my good riving record, will I need to appear in wallkill town court or can I take care of this from my home?
Thank you!

I got pulled over going 59 in a 30. I know not feeling well, not knowing it was 30, and not realizing I was going that fast is going to matter. I am just petrified I am going to he my license suspended. The last ticket I received was in 2011- in November. Idkkkk if that was a speeding conviction or it was reduced to a traffic violation…I can’t remember. Anyways- I just want to know if I should hire an attorney or take my chances that the da will lower it. Please provide me good news to put my mind at ease.
The good news is that an experienced traffic attorney can attempt to reduce or dismiss the ticket. Unless you have years of trial experience I would not recommend handling it yourself. Also, the result will depend on which court is handling the case so you might want to call us for a free consultation so we can tell you what an attorney can do for you.
also in the state of new york does a seat belt ticket carry any points?
Anthony,
The DMV drivers driver responsibility assessment is a additional fine you must pay if you get 6 or more points in an 18 month period of time. Read more here http://www.ticketdefenselaw.com/blog/driver-responsibility-programs-ny/
what is the DMV driver responsibility assessment?
I received three tickets. Speed not reasonable and prudent. Stop beyond crosswalk and stop line. And when he asked for my liscense registration and insurance by accident i handed him an expired insurance ard but i have current insurance card. Is it worth it to go fight the tickets? What am i looking at in fines and points on my liscense? thank you
Hi Anthony,
Speed not reasonable and prudent is NY V&T Law section 1180(a) which is $150 plus an $85 surcharge, with 3 points to your license. The next ticket is a 1151 – (c) Passed stopped vehicle at crosswalk/intersection which is also 3 points and a $150 fine and $85 surcharge. As long as your vehicle was insured and you only failed to produce your card you should be able to have that charge dismissed. The other two tickets are worth fighting because you are looking at 6 points to your license. 6 points means you will be charged the DMV driver responsibility assessment as well ($300 over 3 years). You should call me as soon as possible so I can give you a free consultation over the phone at 1-888-883-5529. We can fight all three tickets for our same low flat fee!

We got into an accident around Albany, NY during a snow storm when the roads were not plowed very well and we slipped on a patch of ice or something and spun into the median. We were going somewhere between 20-30 MPH, and the cop did not see the accident, but issued us a ticket of 1180 (a) Speed not reasonable and prudent. We live in New Jersey about 3 hours from Albany, so I don’t know if it is worth driving all the way up there to fight it. Does the above information mean that the court fees would be 80-85$ if we go to court? Or do these surcharges apply either way. Also, do the NY points get transferred to my NJ license? And do you think that my insurance rates will increase? Thank you very much for your help.
The $80/85 surcharge on top of the base fine applies to all tickets but only if you plead guilty or are convicted. I do not advise pleading guilty for several reasons (1) you will likely be hit with the max fine; (2) 2 points will transfer to NJ; (3) your insurance company will hold you responsible for the accident and you insurance will increase (it might increase regardless but pleading guilty to a ticket certainly won’t help); (4) our track record in getting this ticket reduced especially where the officer did not witness the accident is very high; (5) if you hire our firm you will not have to come back for court.

Hello Adam,
Received a speeding ticket for going 86 in a 65 last week in Catskill (Greene County). Didn’t admit fault, officer was a nice guy and even made a note on the ticket I was polite and there were no problems. Was wondering what I’m looking at fine-wise and points-wise. Also wondering if there’s any point in possibly going to court (for context I was going 85 to pass a car in the slow lane going about 80, cop was hidden behind a tree on the left side of the road), thanks.
Also for context: I received a ticket in Framingham, Massachusetts last year (’12) in the beginning of February for going 92 in a 65, pleaded guilty and paid a fine of about $230, from what I’ve read MA tickets don’t seem to affect New York that much but I’d like to hear what it really means from someone who knows this.
Thanks again
Hello Henry,
You are being charged with going 21 miles over the speed limit. It’s a 6 point ticket, $300 fine plus an $85 mandatory surcharge. At 6 points the DMV charges you an additional fine called the DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment at $100 a year for 3 years. Your total in fines and surcharges is $685. This total does not take into account the increase to your insurance rates.
Unfortunately, your argument will not hold up in court about speeding to pass another car going 80 in the slow lane. Essentially you are admitting guilt that you were in fact speeding. Driving over the speed limit is a regulatory offense, which means that if you violate the regulation (driving over 65) than you will be found guilty of the offense. The circumstances and your intentions while driving rarely ever come into play.
We can help you fight this ticket and save you hundreds in fines and insurance rate increases. Please call me today for a free consultation over the phone at 888-883-5529. For more information on speeding tickets and the DMV driver responsibility assessment click here. – Adam
I got a speeding ticket on 2/27/1998 71in a 55. I had mailed in and with a guilty plea. The address was very hard to reed but sent it in and it was returned to me about 3/30/1998 marked undliverable by the post office. So I just waited to see if they would send me a notice . I got the notice ON 11/22/2012 14 years later. I returned with a not guilty plea and now have a pre-trial confernce on 01/16/2013. Is there a statute of limitations or any thing I can do?
No there is no statute of limitations on traffic violations unfortunately. You have to respond to it, or you can hire us to handle it for you so you do not have to go to court. Feel free to contact me directly. -Adam
I was pulled over yesterday at 8:30 PM on LIE close to Cross Island Expressway exit, leaving the HOV lane. Although I am pretty certain I exited in the designated HOV exit zone, the trooper who pulled me over claimed that I crossed over the hazard markings and issued two tickets: moving unsafely from HOV to left (1128A) and driving over hazard markings (1128D). In addition, another ticked was issued as I had an expired insurance card; my insurance was in effect and I plan to send a signed letter from my insurance company to the Hempstead traffic court. Any advice regarding my chances in fighting these tickets? Appreciate any advice you could give me.
Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear about the tickets you received last week. These violations carry heavy fines and consequences. First, the moved from lane unsafely charge [1128(a)] has a $150 fine, 3 points to your license and an $85 mandatory NY State surcharge. The second charge, Drove across hazardous markings [1128(a)] carries a $150 fine and 3 points along with the $85 surcharge.
6 points to your license means that you also will pay a DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment which is $100/year for 3 years. (Each point over 6, is an additional $25/year for 3 years. These consequences do not take into account the affect it can have on your insurance rates.
Unfortunately the penalties are pretty tough, but we can help you fight your ticket as there are options available to you. Please call us today at 1-888-883-5529, we can give you a free consultation over the phone. Here is more information on Unsafe lane change and driving without insurance.
Received a speeding ticket for going 65 in a 30 mph zone. What are my options if any? It was on an expressway that for 3 mile has the limit at 45 and the last half mile or so, it converts to 30. Any help/advice would be gladly appreciated. This happened in brooklyn ny
Hi Nelson,
You are being charged with going 35 MPH over the speed limit. That charge means 8 points to your license, a $600 fine and an $85 mandatory NYS surcharge. In addition you will be paying another penalty called the DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment which in your case at 8 points will be $150 per year for 3 years. This does not take into account the affect it will have on your insurance. Unfortunately the penalties are pretty tough, but we can help you fight your ticket as there are options available to you.

I got a speeding ticket in broom county going to 74 in a 55 zone. The office was a real d-bag and I would like to fight this speeding ticket and get it reduced to a no point traffic violation, possible something like a parking ticket. What are my chances in fighting the ticket? and what how much do you charge?
You are being charged with going 19mph over the speed limit that mean you are be fined $385 and you will get 4 points on your New York state license.
If you would like to talk about this more feel free to give me a ring at 1-888-883-5529. I would love to speak to you.
i got a speeding ticket in clifton park NY. I was going 89 in a 65 zone. I don’t think it was a construction zone but the office marked it as so. What are the fines and points I am looking at and is there anyway I can fight this ticket?
Jerry it is going to be very hard to prove that you were not inside a construction zone. If you convicted of going 24 mph over the speed limit you will be looking at $385 is fines and 6 points on your license. I would highly suggest you hire a lawyer to fight on your behalf. If you were in a work zone you can be charged with VTL 1180f which means the total fine will double to $772.
Here is more information about construction zone tickets
I was going 85 in a 65 zone to get back to school on time. When the officer pulled me over he was nice about it and reduced my speed to 70 on the ticket. Should I plead guilty or plead not guilty? On the back of the ticket it still says I was going 85.
You are being charged with going 20 mph over the speed limit which means you will be fined $385 and you will get 4 points on your New York state license.
