Re: how much for speeding ticket?

You still get the points. I got a ticket in Ny about 3 years ago, and they transferred.

| 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... |

| The general NY traffic ticket rule for NYS drivers is don't do anything dumb in Ontario or Quebec because they have deals with the NYS DMV to share infomation about there drivers voilations. However lately NY has been signing deals with other states. I'll try to look for the list so others know what states points carry over.
In your case. I checked out the Flordia laws and HSMV website (»www.hsmv.state.fl.us). It states:
If you hold a Florida license and have received a ticket in another state, they will send Florida the ticket information and it will be added to your record. You will receive points on your license if the ticket is a pointable violation according to Florida Statute 322.27(3). Florida law does not allow any school or program to remove points for a ticket received in another state.
Any unpaid ticket reported by another state will result in the suspension of your Florida license. If this has happened you must contact the county where you received the ticket and obtain a receipt with the Court seal. You must present this receipt to DHSMV via fax (850-487-7080), or mail, or in person at a Florida Driver License Office. There will be a $35 reinstatement fee due if the ticket was paid after the Florida suspension date. If you are not sure if you owe the $35.00 fee or have trouble contacting the county where you received the ticket, please call 850-922-9000 or inquire at your local Driver License Office in person.
The points you will recieved for speeding 17mph over is 4. They also have a lot of rules about how the point system works depending on who you are or what you did (and have done in the past.) Source: »www.hsmv.state.fl.us/handbooks/e···dex.html |

"The driver receives the same number of points listed if the conviction occurs out-of-state or in a federal court."

| 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.

| 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.

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 | 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

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. |

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).

| 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 |
