Fight Your Bedford Ticket Now
If you have found this
webpage, there is a good chance that you have been stopped by a police officer
for speeding along I-684.
Understandably, you have a large number of questions running through
your mind.
The top questions posed
to our office regarding a Bedford speeding ticket are:
How many points am I facing
and what are the fines associated with this ticket?
POINTS:
The number of points a
driver is facing varies depending on the nature of the offense. The higher the speed, the higher number
of points a driver is facing.
Here is a break down of the
points associated with a speed.
| Speeding | Points |
| 01 to 10 mph over the limit | 3 |
| 11 to 20 | 4 |
| 21 to 30 | 6 |
| 31 to 40 | 8 |
| More than 40 | 11 |
Speeding tickets start at 3
points and can go up as much as 11.
There are many different scenarios that can trigger a license suspension
or revocation. Some of the most
common scenarios involve a driver getting more than 10 points assessed against
their license within an 18-month period.
Another scenario involved a driver receiving 3 speeding convictions
within an 18-month period regardless of the total number of points
involved. So for example, a driver
convicted of 3 speeding convictions within 18 months with a total of 9 points
will lose their license even though they have not accumulated more than 10
points.
FINES:
At the end of a case, the
Judge imposes fines. The judge has
discretion in setting the fine and the fines are controlled by statute. The surcharge (the money that goes to
New York State) varies depending on the type of court that adjudicates the
speeding ticket.
| Offense | Fines |
| First-time speeding offense | $45 to $600 |
| One or more speeding tickets
(within eighteen months)
| Up to $1,575 |
| Traffic Infraction | $100-$300 |
| Disobey a Traffic Signal
(red
light)
| $225-$675 |
| Misdemeanor Convictions
(no other penalty provided)
| $200-$1,225 |
| Uninspected Vehicles | $25-$200 |
| Unregistered Vehicle or Trailer | $25-$200 |
| Equipment Violations of Vehicle or Trailer | $0-$100 |
| Surcharges | $50 - $55 |
