| how much for speeding ticket?
I got pulled over last night on 81 in Ellisburg. I was doing 82 in a 65. that's only 17 over so its not like the 30 over i read on another post. I need to know how much this is going to cost me and how many points it will add to my licence. and another variable, I have a FL licence. I read on here that NY lets you get a very high amount of points, like 11 or something. in ohio you can only have 8 I think. I don't know about FL. I think its kinda silly that he wouldn't even tell me how much i have to pay! how am i suppost to save an amount i don't even know? that pissed me off.. anyway. i also want to know the points because my husband will be pissed when he finds out our insurance is going up. | |

You still get the points. I got a ticket in Ny about 3 years ago, and they transferred. -- Maybe you had too much too fast, or just overplayed your part.-RH | |

| Re: how much for speeding ticket? It depends.
NY and NJ share their speeding ticket information and, thus, the points transfer. I have no idea whether FL and NY share their information... but I think the sharing of the information is more the norm than exception.
For some weird reason, however, OH and NY do not share their information on speeding tickets (and perhaps other traffic infractions). At least, they did not until several years ago. A friend of mine, who is from NYS and went to Bowling Green in Ohio, had insane number of speeding tickets in OH. But no points transferred to the NYS system... | |

| Re: how much for speeding ticket? "Unlawful speed - 16 MPH or more over lawful or posted speed 4(points)" "The driver receives the same number of points listed if the conviction occurs out-of-state or in a federal court." from: »www.hsmv.state.fl.us/handbooks/e···dex.html
so i guess i do get the point...  | |

| Re: how much for speeding ticket? Back in the 70's the states got together and formed, and signed a compact, stating they would all share driver info. Some states did not want to sign this, I think there is about 5 states that are not apart of this, CA, and MI are 2 of them for sure. Meaning A MI resident, can get pulled over in OH, and OH police can not see the MI driving record.
Points, and fees still apply.
Trust me, I lived in MI, and went to college in OH. I know all about this.
Points are assigned by the state you have you DL in, not where you got the ticket. Where as fees are assigned by the court where you got the ticket.
To find out the cost of your ticket, if not printed on the back, call the court and ask. -- Lightning Bolt Technologies | |

| Re: how much for speeding ticket? Most street cops, will have no idea of fees, They are set by the court, and the Officers job is patrol, not collect. So that is why.
Some cities/states, have the fees printed on the back of tickets, so after awhile the officers know all the fees, but other wise, it is something the officer doesn't need to know. -- Lightning Bolt Technologies | |

| That's not what the NYS DMV states for NY drivers:
"The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles does not record convictions of moving traffic violations by NYS non-commercial licensed drivers in other jurisdictions, except traffic offenses committed in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, in Canada. Therefore, except for traffic convictions in Ontario and Quebec, out-of-state traffic convictions are not added to your New York State "violation point" driving record.
However, your New York State license will be suspended if you fail to answer a ticket for a moving violation in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin. Your license will remain suspended until you answer the ticket. Likewise, drivers from any state, except those from the six states listed above, will have their driver licenses suspended in their own state for failure to answer a moving violation summons in New York State."

1 edit | Re: how much for speeding ticket? OK, what I was trying to say, was it is up to the state you have your DL in, to issue points or not. And as you pointed out NY, does not assign points for out of state tickets.
On a side note, NY may be a good place to have a DL, if you travel a lot across the country, and have a heavy foot  -- Lightning Bolt Technologies | |

Strange how NY makes a pact with two Canadian provinces instead of neighboring states like NJ or CT.
NY did sign the compact with the other 43 states and does trade information with them...its just that NY doesn't record out of state violations to its residents' licences.
If you live in FL (or NJ and CT) and get a ticket in NY, the information will go to your state's DMV and they will add points according to their schedule (4 for this offense as previously noted). -- "Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana - 1905 | |

| Re: how much for speeding ticket? I got a ticket for speeding up highway 13 in Maryland. For those of you who have never been on highway 13 it's this long and desolate road with practically no cars whatsoever. The ticket was for going 80mph in a 55mph zone.
It was the only speeding ticket I've ever received for which I received points on my license in my entire life.
I later found out that Maryland more of a gigantic speed trap than it is of a state.
Apparently nj assigns points to your license if you get a ticket in almost everywhere.
nj sucks, I pay more for insurance than i do for my car payments. I'm thinking of getting an ny or fl license. -- At first I thought everyone on the highway was drunk but then I realized I was driving in Florida  | |

yeah and FL appears to be a bad state for that... perhaps i should get a NY one before i leave...:)
i found the NY DMV site and emailed them my question with complaints about the system. it said that it may take up to 5 days to respond. | |

@rr.com | no points? cool. I just read on another website someone was going 47 in a 30 and got an $85 fine, that's about the same as ohio. so if i get no points my insurance won't go up right? that'll be good to tell husband. | |

Best bet figure $10 per every mile over the limit and add 20% 170 + 34 = $204 -- support the Hunley | |
