Speeding Tickets are Expensive

If you are reading this webpage, there is a good chance that you were issued a speeding ticket along I-290 and your ticket is going to be heard in the Tonawanda Traffic Court. If so, you are not alone.

According to a recent investigative study, the Town of Tonawanda has one of the top 10 speeding traps in New York State. It received almost 4,000 speeding tickets in the last calendar year. This makes the Tonawanda Town Court the number 6 slot of most ticketed speed traps.

A first time offender that pleads guilty to driving in 86 mph in a 55 mph zone can result in a $693.00 fine and surcharge payable the court. It will also result in a $450.00 fine payable to the department of motor vehicles. This fee is known as the Driver’s Responsibility Assessment.
