The first thing you need to do if you get a New York speeding ticket is take notes on what happened. It is important for you to be able to recall exactly what happened in case you have to recollect that information.

The thing you don't want to do is plead guilty before speaking with a New York speeding ticket lawyer.

If you are concerned about points on your license, fines and an increase in your auto insurance and you are uncertain as to whether or not your New York speeding ticket can be challenged in court, you should contact a New York speeding ticket lawyer or New York speeding ticket attorney. You should have both your ticket and the notes that you took on the traffic stop with you when you call. A skilled New York traffic ticket lawyer or speeding ticket attorney will ask you various questions like what you are being charged with, what your driving record is over the past four years, etc. Then the New York speeding ticket lawyer will be able to (a) tell you what you are looking at if you are convicted or plead guilty; and (b) what he or she thinks they can do for you if you hire them to represent you in court.

Not only are speeding tickets costly in terms of court fines and auto insurance increases, but if you get 11 points in New York within 18 months, your driving privileges will be suspended. In addition, if you get 6 points in New York within 18 months, you will receive a bill from the NYS DMV for $100/year for 3 years and $25/year for 3 years for each point over 6. So, for example, if you have 8 points on your license, you will have to pay the NY DMV $150/year for 3 years which is a total of $450!

Most people feel that if they are indeed guilty (which is true most of the time but is definitely not always true) there is little that can be done and they should simply plead guilty and eat the points, fines & auto insurance increase. Most of the time, this thinking is mistaken. Courts and prosecutors are very busy and most often do not want to hold a New York speeding ticket trial, especially if they know they have to go up against a skilled New York attorney that can give them a run for their money, literally.

A good lawyer should be able to challenge the ticket and negotiate a reduction of points and fines to save you money in both the short term (court fines) and the long term (auto insurance).
