Points: When a driver is given a ticket, they want to quickly determine how many points there are facing. On a ticket issued by the New York State Police, this information is completely left off the ticket. This chart will quickly help you assess your exposure to points against your privilege to drive.
Speeding | Points |
01 to 10 mph over the limit | 3 |
11 to 20 mph over the limit | 4 |
21 to 30 mph over the limit | 6 |
31 to 40 mph over the limit | 8 |
More than 40 mph over the limit | 11 |
The first thing any driver should do upon receiving a ticket is file a timely Answer to the charge. It is important to read the instructions on the ticket and follow them accordingly. Failure to follow the instructions can result in a driver having their license suspended.
