While the majority of speeding ticket are issued by the New
York State Police, the East Greenbush Police Department frequently enforces the
Vehicle Traffic Law on local roads such as Route 20. The State Troopers tend to issue their summonses on the
Interstate and the East Greenbush Police tend to issue on the local municipal roads.
Why Fight A Speeding Ticket?
Did you know a conviction to a speeding ticket can cost you hundreds and perhaps thousands of dollars in fines, penalties, lost time, and insurance increases? In some extreme cases, a conviction can result in a jail sentence and a loss of one’s privilege to drive.

What would happen if I fill in Section A and enter a plea of guilty by mail?
A plea of guilty to the charge is the equivalent to a conviction after trial. If you are convicted, not only will you be liable to a penalty, but in addition your license to drive a motor vehicle or motorcycle, and your certificate of registration, if any, are subject to suspension and revocation as prescribed by law.
How can a driver plead guilty by mail?
If you would like to plead guilty to the non-misdemeanor traffic ticket, you should place an “x” through Section B and complete Section A of the ticket. Don’t forget to sign it. You mail the ticket back to the court with some form of return receipt requested.
Can the court reject a plea of guilty by mail?
Yes. It is up to the judge to accept the plea. If the plea of guilty is rejected, a driver will be given a letter advising them of a future court date.
How Many Points Can I Receive Until I Am Suspended?
There are many factors that can result in a driver losing their right to drive in New York. Perhaps the most common reason is a driver accumulating too many points. Once a driver is convicted of 11 points within an 18-month period, the DMV has the right to suspend the motorist privilege to drive.
This chart will help first time speeders quickly ascertain how many points they are facing.
