If an officer determines that your speed was "excessive" (far higher than the posted limit and much too fast for conditions), you may also be given a citation for reckless driving. Reckless driving is a separate offense that has its own penalties. To give you a general idea of what New York's penalties are for "excessive" speeding, see the chart below:
| Speed | Maximum Sentence | Approximate Fine | Driving Points |
| 11-20 mph over | 15 days | $300 | 4 |
| 21-30 mph over | 15 days | $300 plus | 6 |
| 31-40 mph over | 30 days | $600 plus | 8 |
| 41+ mph over | 30 days | $600 plus | 11 |
Keep in mind that different traffic courts may have different fines for speeding. Also keep in mind that what counts as "excessive" speed or reckless driving depends on the context.
For instance, if there has been a snowstorm and the road conditions are terrible, you could be given a speeding ticket even if you were not actually driving faster than the posted speed limit. Similarly, driving 11 miles per hour over the speed limit on an Interstate is not the same as driving 11 miles per hour over the speed limit on a residential street, near a school or around a road construction work zone.
In any case, our knowledge of New York's traffic laws and local traffic courts have helped us to get tickets dismissed, speeds reduced and tickets changed to non-moving violations for many of our previous clients.
