WHY Speeding Tickets 15mph or more
are SO COSTLY
in New York!
In this video, Attorney Mike Cyr explains why a Speeding Ticket at 15mph or more in New York is SO COSTLY.
The primary reason is that if you get caught speeding 15 mph or more over the limit, then the ticket is considered a "SERIOUS TRAFFIC VIOLATION" under NYS Insurance Law. This law allows your car insurance carrier to DRAMATICALLY INCREASE your insurance premiums for up to 3 years in New York (if convicted of one of these kinds of tickets).
The insurance costs alone could be many hundreds of dollars per year or even thousands over a long period of time. That does NOT include the cost of the ticket itself. At 11-21 mph over the speed limit you are looking at penalties of up to $300 in fines, up to $93 court surcharge, and 4 points on a NYS driver's license.
At 21 mph or more, those penalties increase to up to $600 in fines, 6 points on a NYS driver's license --and NOW, civil fines paid to the DMV called "Driver Responsibility Assessments".
That's why these tickets should be dealt with immediately by a local, licensed attorney who understands what is at stake both short-term AND long-term.
