Westchester County issues a large volume of speeding tickets returnable to a number of local courts located throughout the County. All speeding tickets carry points, so you want to have the points reduced to 0 points, or minimized when possible. A conviction to a speeding ticket will generally lead to increased insurance premiums. It can also lead to the DMV imposing a driver assessment fee, starting at $300, as well as a license suspension for acquiring too many points, or revocation of your license for receiving and being convicted of too many speeding tickets issued within an 18 month period. In 11 point speeding ticket convictions will generally trigger a DMV hearing which often results in an additional suspension of the motorist’s driving license. The DMV hearing is separate from any suspension or fines issued by the court that the ticket is returnable to. Consequently, if you have been issued a speeding ticket in Westchester County, you should consult with a Westchester traffic lawyer. Westchester traffic attorneys concentrate on traffic violations and are familiar with the courts located throughout Westchester County. Call for a free consultation.
