Costly Speeding Ticket
For a first time driver convicted of speeding, a conviction could cost hundreds of dollars in fines, hundreds more in DMV assessment fees, and countless more in lost time and insurance increases.
A conviction to 86/55 mph zone can result in a local court fine of $600.00 plus a mandatory state surcharge of $93.00. (A repeat offender could be facing more in fines). Furthermore, this conviction will result in an additional $450.00 penalty fee due to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles called the Driver’s Responsibility Assessment. This will result in an 8-point conviction. If a driver has 3 additional points within an 18-month period, their privilege to drive will be suspended.
