Speeding Tickets ZERO POINTS ON YOUR LICENSE IS OUR GOAL In Lynbrook, most speeding tickets are sent to the Lynbrook Village Court, 1 Columbus Drive, Lynbrook. Others will end up at the Nassau County District Court at 99 Main Street, Hempstead. All speeding tickets carry points. Some speeding tickets carry automatic license suspensions by the department of motor vehicles, while with others, the judge hearing the case may in his or her own discretion choose to suspend your license. For the most part you do not want to be convicted of a speeding ticket if you can at all avoid it. All Speeding convictions are problematic. First, they tend to carry a lot of points on your license. For instance, a speeding ticket of 76 mph in a 55 mph zone carries 6 points by itself. Higher speed categories carry higher points. If you were to plead guilty to a 76mph in a 55mph zone, aside from the fine and surcharge that the court would impose, NYS DMV would assess an additional penalty called a Driver Responsibility Assessment Fee of at least $300, payable over 3 years. The assessment fee increases with the number of points on your license. If you are convicted of 3 speeding tickets that occurred within an 18 month period, you will lose your New York drivers license for 6 months. Also speeding convictions lead to higher insurance premiums. While the ultimate outcome of your speeding ticket will depend on a variety of factors, our goal at the Law Office of Gary S. Miller is to have your speeding ticket dismissed or reduced as much as possible. We are proud of our accomplishments and the results that we have been able to obtain for our clients over the years. Lynbrook Speeding tickets handled by this law office can often be reduced to a lesser violation, (preferably a non speeding ticket) or dismissed altogether. The ultimate resolution depends on a variety of factors, one of which is the court that the speeding ticket is heard at. This is because each court has their own rules and guidelines when it comes to the way speeding tickets and traffic tickets are handled. Each court has its advantages and disadvantages. Most Lynbrook Speeding tickets are returnable to the Lynbrook Village Court at 1 Columbus Drive, Lynbrook, however others will be returnable to the Nassau County District Court, Hempstead if you were given other tickets at the same time that include a misdemeanor charge. As your attorney, my goal is to get the ticket thrown out, or to attempt to obtain a substantial reduction. The fewer the points, the better off you will be. In many cases we are able to get the tickets reduced to no points altogether. The following are the number of points that each speeding conviction carries: 3 points ----- 1 to 10 mph over limit 4 points ---- 11 to 20 mph over limit 6 points ---- 21 to 30 mph over limit            8 points ---- 31 to 40 mph over limit 11 points ---- over 40 mph over limit Speeding Ticket Convictions can lead to an additional NYS DMV Driver Assessment fee In addition to the points, fines, surcharges and insurance increases that result from a speeding ticket conviction, the NYS DMV will also assess a driver assessment fee of $300 for those who receive 6 points on their license within an 18 month period (total of $300 payable over 3 years) and an additional $25 per point to be paid for 3 years for each point thereafter. This will appear as a separate bill from the DMV, and would apply to anyone who pleads guilty to a 6 point speeding ticket, or to anyone who already has points on his or her license within the past 18 months and then is convicted of a speeding ticket with a total point accumulation over the past 18 months of 6 or more points. THREE (3) SPEEDING TICKET CONVICTIONS WITH DATES OF VIOLATION WITHIN 18 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER WILL LEAD TO A 6 MONTH SUSPENSION OF YOUR LICENSE "Please do not plead guilty to your Lynbrook Speeding Ticket without first consulting with me" NO ONE SHOULD EVER PLEAD GUILTY TO A SPEEDING TICKET WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING WITH AN ATTORNEY Call today for Help!
