Speeding Ticket Defense Lawyer

NY Speeding Ticket Lawyer

Many drivers underestimate the serious consequences of paying a traffic ticket. Paying the ticket means admitting guilt and accepting the consequences. This can lead to heavy fines, surcharges, an increase in auto insurance rates, points on your license, a suspended license, and even jail time if you convicted of additional charges like an AUO.

Major roadways cross through Upstate New York such as I-87 (New York State Thruway & Adirondack Northway), I-90, and others. Along with these major transit routes, cities and towns such as Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Glens Falls, Amsterdam, and Gloversville are known for their strict enforcement of traffic laws.

How Can An Attorney Help You?

Many drivers believe that if they try to fight a ticket on their own they will have a successful result. More often than not, this is not the case. Without a lawyer, you’ll have to face a prosecutor whose primary job is to get convictions. Prosecutors and judges are experts in asking questions in a way that can elicit responses that may not bode well for your case.

Although some believe that hiring an attorney for traffic violations is overkill and not worth the extra expense it can save you money in the long run. By hiring an experienced traffic ticket lawyer, your odds of having a favorable outcome for your ticket are far greater. A plea bargain or dismal not only means that the monetary value of your fine will be smaller, but you will also save money by preventing increases in insurance premiums. Moving violations can also impact your ability to perform certain jobs. For example, if you have three or more moving violations in three years you cannot drive for Uber or Lyft.

Does NY State report speeding tickets to other states?

Yes, New York has what is called a Driver's License Compact with most states. This allows states to share information related to speeding tickets and other related traffic offenses with each other.

How much will my insurance go up if I get a speeding ticket?

There is not a definitive answer, because insurance premiums are based on several different factors such as your driving history, age, level of income, and your car. However, in some cases rates can go up as much as 30% after just one speeding ticket.

How long do speeding tickets stay on your record?

A traffic violation, including speeding tickets, stay on a New York driver's record for three years after the conviction.

How many speeding tickets can you get before your license is suspended?

New York Speeding Tickets For Out-of-State Drivers

Massachusetts – If you commit a traffic violation in New York that is recognized in Massachusetts, in most circumstances, Massachusetts will put the equivalent amount of points on your MA license.

Vermont – New York and Vermont have signed what is known as a Driver’s License Compact. This means that NY and VT freely share driver information. If you receive a NY traffic ticket but are a VT driver, VT will be notified about the ticket you received. Fortunately for Vermont drivers, the state of Vermont does not add points to your driver’s license for an out-of-state violation unless the violation would have resulted in a suspension of your license in another state.

Ontario, Canada – The province of Ontario has reciprocity with New York State. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, demerit points will be assessed against you for any traffic violation that you commit in NY.

Quebec, Canada – The Société de l’assurance automobile du Quebec has stated that an equivalent offense committed in another province or in a US state that Quebec has a reciprocal agreement with, like New York, will result in demerit points being put on your driving record as if the offense occurred in Quebec itself.

It’s important to note that in most cases when you hire a lawyer to represent you in traffic court, you do not need to be present in court yourself. This can save out of state drivers time and money.
