Fines: A Judge will determine the fine amount
that a driver is required to pay.
The fine can vary depending on the nature of the speed. Furthermore, New York State has
instituted a mandatory surcharge.
The surcharge is the portion of monies that are paid to Albany. Depending on the particular court the
ticket is in (ie, City Court v. Town Court v. Village Court), a surcharge can
be as high as $93.00.
A fine can be as low as $45.00 and as high as
$600.00 for a standard speeding ticket.
Repeat
offenders:
If a driver has been previously convicted of speeding in 18 months, the
fines will increase.
Assessment
Fee: if a driver is convicted of 6 points in an 18
month period, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles will assess an
additional $300.00 fine known as a “driver’s responsibility assessment” also known
as the DRA.
An additional $25.00 DRA per year will be levied for
every point above 6 that is assessed against the driver. Therefore, if a driver is convicted of
8 points, they will be given a $450.00 fee.
Insurance:
a conviction to a moving violation is one factor that an insurance company can
take into consideration when calculating a driver’s premium. Your insurance company will be in the
best position to let you know how a moving violation will affect your premium.
