Speeding Ticket in NY State

[KAZvelo]

Hey,

I got a speeding ticket this past weekend in upstate NY. I live in Ontario

Travelling 59 MPH in a 45 MPH zone. I was in a car, but I don't want this to affect my bike insurance.

Anyone have any suggestions or advice?

The ticket says that a fine or penalty is assessed AFTER I plead guilty, so I don't even know what I'm looking at.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The officer should have given you a court date right away... if so if it was anything like the ticket I got in Niagara falls, NY then you go into the court, and what they did was reduce to a parking ticket so it doesn't affect your insurance. They do this, so they keep the funds in the county and not the state. If you don't have that option and you are convicted then unfortunately it will affect your insurance here, as the systems are tied.

Failing to pay or respond to the ticket will lead to an arrest warrant in Upstate NY. I have family that ignored a speeding ticket in NY, and was thrown in jail on a subsequent stop.

Fight it or get it reduced as mentioned. I'm not sure if the infraction transfers or if it is just points and suspension (for non-payment essentially) which transfer.. Paralegal should know.

All tickets affect all your vehicle insurance....


Only way to go here is fight it in their court.
