A variety of different violations of traffic crimes are each assigned a certain number of points. More severe offenses result in a higher number of points. Points continue to accrue for multiple violations , and if you get 11 points or more within an 18 month period of time, this can trigger the suspension of your license to drive. You only get points if you are actually convicted of a traffic offense or if you plead guilty, and all points that you got within an month period are added together to determine the total number of points on your record.
The month period starts to count down on the date when you committed the driving infraction that resulted in the points, not from the date of your conviction. If you were cited for speeding on May 1 but not convicted of speeding until June 15, your month clock would start running on May 1.
The problem is, paying the fine is an admission of guilt. Over-eager traffic enforcement intermingles with errors every day.

Traffic infringements happen to everyone — and can occur anytime. No one is immune to ever-changing traffic laws. You should plead not guilty assuming your ticket is a moving violation you forgot to describe it. While on probation, you moving violations can lead to a suspension. The points seem very unnecessary, is there anything else i can do besides go to trial? Hannah L, there are no other options to resolve this ticket other than plea bargaining or going to trial.
The officer said she was texting on the phone while driving and I was in the car with her and she was not texting. The court postponed her trial 2 times and last year she postponed it because she was pregnant. This year she is out of the country and they would not postpone it. What should we do, she is not guilty and she can not appear in court. Given her inability to attend court, she should retain an attorney to appear in her absence. Feel free to call us to discuss further.
Hello Mr. Weiss, I received a speeding ticket on November 25th However, for DMV point purposes, those points will added to your driving record as of Nov 25 the date you received the ticket.
After 18 months or on May 25, , those points would no longer count towards your DMV total. I got pulled over for safely executing a left turn after oncoming traffic passed because I had turned out of a turn lane at a traffic light intersection in Brooklyn that only had one light over the street, with no special turn signal visible on that light. This intersection is unlike any other in the area — all others have regular green lights with no turning arrow. Of course, the police officer was lying in wait because this was an unusual traffic pattern.
It was 3 points and a fine disobeying traffic light. I have a clean record in NY and have since moved to D. The incident occurred last spring. In NYC, the traffic court is unable to allow me to pay the fine but not give points. I was pulled over speeding one morning on my way to work.
The trooper said i was going 90mph despite the fact that im sure i wasnt going that fast, mph at most when i noticed the trooper up ahead i also started to slow down.
Since he said I was going 90mph is there any chance i could get a better deal? You should plead not guilty and fight this ticket. This is the only way to possibly obtain a more favorable result. I was pulled over when some one just stepped off sidewalk to cross the pedestrian I turned right I did not give way should I fight this?
If you have any otherwise clean record, it would not be unreasonable to just pay this one especially given that you admit to not giving way. I received a speeding ticket and I pled guilty and a letter why I could not be in court because I work the grave shift.
I then received a letter telling me to report to city court because they can not reduce my points. I will be given 8 pts. I have never received pts in my 42 years of driving. Will I loose my license? How will this affect my insurance? Do I need a lawyer present? Given your otherwise clean record, it is not likely that you will be suspended for just this ticket.
It could. Since you apparently already pled guilty, there is nothing with which a lawyer can help you. Matthew Weiss. I got pulled over today for driving 90mph in a 55mph zone. I seriously need to work on slowing down :. The trooper was nice and did not give me a speeding ticket. He instead violated me with disobeying traffic control device.
I have 2 previous speeding tickets on my record. He mentioned that if I appeared in court, he will be there and that the speeding reading will be reported. You got very lucky!! Given what you write, I think you should plead guilty and accept the 2-points. If you fight it, I doubt that they will lower it further and they likely could amend it back to the original 8-point ticket.
HI Mr. Speeding ticket June 19, Assessed 4 points. Thank you for this website! Please re-read my article. If you plead guilty, you will get points placed on your license. However, those points will be placed retroactively back to the date or dates that you received those tickets in However, going forward, those points will no longer count vis-a-vis new tickets because those would be more than 18 months from the dates of offense.
I am NJ driver and I got speeding ticket D for driving at 72mph in 50mph zone at Verazano bridge this week. This is my first ever traffic ticket and I am 36 years. I just did not realize that I was driving that fast. I recently changed my car registration from NY to NJ. Our mistake!
So I got another ticket at the same time A. I understand that it will increase my insurance premium. I also know that I have to keep myself under 11 points in order to continue driving in NY. I learned that I will get 2 points on my NJ license for each ticket I get out of state. Please advise how should I proceed with this weird situation of mine?
Depending on your advised path, how much expense I should keep in my mind? Also, will I get 2 points or 4 on my NJ license? Plead not guilty as this is the only way to possibly save points. You will get 2 NJ points and 6 NY points if you lose. Hi may name Igor, have I got speed ticket up to 70mph on Verazano brige speed zone 45mph, what need do,plead guilty?
