Know What The Law Says
There are many factors that determine the impact and effect of a speeding ticket upon you and your driving record. When determining the impact of the offense, the court not only takes into consideration the rate of speed above the speed limit at which you were driving, but also considers factors like where the offense occurred (example: school zone) and any prior history of speeding tickets that you may have.
The New York State speeding statute is detailed in NYS VTL §1180. However, we realize that the law can often be difficult for many people to understand, and for that reason it is a sound decision to seek the advice and counsel of an experienced Traffic hearing lawyer who can help you navigate the challenge of fighting a speeding ticket.
