With every moving violation (even repeated minor infractions) that you are convicted or plead guilty of, you can expect more points to be added to your NYS driver's license. If you get 6 or more points within an 18 month period, the DMV will fine you a surcharge known as the "Driver Responsibility Assessment." For drivers with 6 points, the fine is $300 and for every additional point after 6 an additional $75 fine will be added. This fine is issued against a driver even if they have an out of state license.
These penalties can be modified or plead down at any time. It is crucial that you consult with an experienced Long Island and New Your City speeding ticket lawyer as soon as possible.
