DMVZoneBlogNew York speeding fines by mph, the state surcharge added to every ticket, the points, and what changes on a second or third ticket inside 18 months.
A first New York speeding ticket carries a fine of $45 to $150 for 1 to 10 mph over, $90 to $300 for 11 to 30, and $180 to $600 for more than 30, plus a state surcharge of up to $93. It also adds 3 to 11 points.
New York sets fine ranges in state law and lets the judge choose within them. The surcharge is added on top no matter what, and the points can lead to a separate DMV bill months later. Here is how one ticket turns into three costs.
| Over the limit | First ticket | Second in 18 months | Third in 18 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 10 mph | $45-$150 | $45-$300 | $45-$525 |
| 11 to 30 mph | $90-$300 | $90-$450 | $90-$675 |
| More than 30 mph | $180-$600 | $180-$750 | $180-$975 |
Speeds of 11 mph or more over can also bring jail time: up to 15 days for 11 to 30 mph and up to 30 days for more than 30 mph on a first offense. It is rare for an ordinary ticket, but it is in the law.
| Over the limit | Points |
|---|---|
| 1 to 10 mph | 3 |
| 11 to 20 mph | 4 |
| 21 to 30 mph | 6 |
| 31 to 40 mph | 8 |
| More than 40 mph | 11 |
A single ticket for 21 to 30 mph over is 6 points, which alone triggers the Driver Responsibility Assessment: $300 over three years on top of the fine and surcharge.
