INSURANCE
Initially, most drivers are
concerned about the insurance consequences related to a speeding ticket and
points on their license.
The
New York State insurance law as it relates to speed tickets can be very
difficult to interpret. There are
many grey areas and the true impact for which a speeding conviction will have
on a driver’s policy is nebulous.
There
are many different factors an insurance company can take into consideration
when writing a car insurance policy.
These considerations can include but not limited to automobile
accidents, DWI convictions, the location of the policy and traffic violations.
As
such, a speeding ticket conviction is not the only factor taken into
consideration. Further, depending
on the particular company, the insurance increase can be zero dollars or
hundreds of dollars. In some
circumstances, an insurance company and drop a driver for a speeding
conviction.
POINTS
Points
are assessed according to the rate of speed that a driver is convicted. Speeding tickets start at 3 points and
can go as high as 11 points. In
New York, a driver is allowed 10 points within an 18-month period. At the 11th point, the
driver’s privilege to drive will be suspended for a minimum of 30 days. There are many circumstances that can
trigger a suspension including but not limited a DWI conviction and 3 speeding
convictions within an 18-month period.
| 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 |
