Warren County is best known for its popular Lake George Village resort area. Warren County is one of two NY counties that encompass the lake. Thus, it is a very popular location for travelers both from New York and those from nearby Vermont and other contiguous states. However, the county is much more than just a resort location. Warren County contains the highest concentration of medical manufacturers in NYS. The region has produced medical devices since the 1940s, and is the manufacturing headquarters for both AngioDynamics Inc. and Boston Scientific Corp.
Drivers hit with speeding tickets in Warren County are in for serious costs. That’s why it is best to consult with an attorney who can fight to reduce or beat the charges and associated penalties.
New York State Speeding Ticket Costs
The fine for most speeding tickets is between $150 to $600. A state surcharge of $88 or $93 is added on top of the fine. Should a driver reach 6 points or more on his/her license, the DMV charges a Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA) fee, which costs $300 for the first 6 points and $75 for each additional point. A speeding ticket is also likely to increase insurance premiums by hundreds of dollars per year should the driver be convicted.

Warren County Geography and How It Relates to Traffic Tickets
Warren County sits at a key position just east of the Adirondacks. Drivers can take I-87 north-south through Warren County, which connects drivers from as far south as the Bronx/NYC to as far north as the NY-Quebec border. U.S. Route 9 also travels north-south through the county nearly parallel to I-87. NY Route 8 cuts east-west along the northern part of Warren County, ending at NY Route 9N near Hague Town Beach Park. This, combined with the county’s popularity as a vacation spot means police monitor the roads closely for tourists and thru-traffic (as well as locals) who may be making the roads unsafe.
