- License points

- Insurance impact
- A speeding conviction typically raises New York premiums for 3 years, and 6+ points adds the DMV's Driver Responsibility Assessment on top.

Frequently asked questions
How many points is my New York speeding ticket?
It's a ladder: 3 points for 1–10 mph over, 4 for 11–20, 6 for 21–30, 8 for 31–40, and 11 for more than 40 over — that last one is an instant suspension-level ticket by itself.
What is the Driver Responsibility Assessment?
New York's second bill. Rack up 6 points within 18 months and the DMV charges you $100 a year for three years, plus $25 a year for every point above six. It's assessed automatically and separately from your fine and surcharge.
Why are NYC speeding tickets harder to fight than upstate ones?
Tickets in the five boroughs go to the DMV's Traffic Violations Bureau, where plea bargaining is banned — the only outcomes are guilty or not guilty at a hearing. Outside NYC, town and village court prosecutors can and do negotiate reductions. Either way, we connect you with a licensed New York attorney who knows the venue.
Can three speeding tickets really cost me my license?
Yes — three speeding convictions within 18 months means mandatory revocation under New York law, even if your point total stays under 11. Drivers with one or two priors should fight every subsequent ticket.
Do I have to appear in a town court three hours upstate?
Almost never. Most New York local courts accept an attorney appearance on your behalf, and many resolve tickets by mail or conference — a licensed attorney in our network handles it while you stay home.
