by Seth Azria on 6/11/2018

1180(b) and 1180(d), are the two most common types of speeding tickets. Section 1180(b) is for exceeding the state speed limit and (d) is for exceeding the posted limit. The consequences for a conviction for either are:

  • $88 for other courts, e.g. city courts

Points for Speeding Convictions

  • 1-10 over the posted limit - 3 points
  • 11-20 over the posted limit - 4 points
  • 21-30 over the posted limit - 6 points** ($300 DRA)
  • 31-40 over the posted limit - 8 points** ($450 DRA)
  • over 40 over the posted limit - 11 points** ($675 DRA and license suspension)

**A conviction for 6 points or more in any 18 month period will cause a Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA), from the New York DM in the amount listed. This assessment will be due in addition to the court fine and applies all drivers regardless of where they are licensed to drive. 

**New York state suspends driving license of driver who accumulates 11 points or more in any 18 month period. Therefore, one conviction for speeding 41 mph over the limit, or more, will cause a suspension all by itself.

Over Speeding Ticket

I would recommend Attorney David. They helped me have my speeding ticket withdrawn and even if the program they got me into had stopped after my application they got me a waiver. I also got my program fee refunded. Initially I was too worried as most other websites I visited while researching started following me up which I did not like. David's team was quite professional. My only suggestion is they should have a pre set next action steps format sent to their clients so that most questions get answered automatically

Fantastic service!

fter 6 years of obeying the speed limit (or rather, not getting caught), my luck ran out and I was stopped for a 74/55. I called David and he immediately remembered me from 6 years ago and was happy to help me out again! I was impressed yet again, both with his professionalism , communication, and expedience (also impressed that the rate was not much more). After many failed attempts at managing this ticket myself and contacting the Court, David was immediately able to get the attention of the relevant parties. Within weeks, my ticket was completely dismissed! I cannot recommend David and his office enough! Although I would rather not need to seek this kind of counsel, I am sure I will be calling him back next time I find myself seeing blue in my rear view. Thanks David!

After getting two tickets within a month, David reduced my retainer fee on the second ticket as a "returning client" discount. I knew I had made the right choice at that point. David was personally accessible to any and all concerns that I had regarding my tickets. His staff was also very pleasant and extremely diligent in making sure we had everything in place. David was successful in negotiating what could have been a total of 8+ points between two tickets down to only 2 points. I will refer David to all of my NY friends as my experience made the best out of an otherwise unfortunate situation.
