The following are the number of points that correspond to each speeding conviction:

| VTL 1180-(a) Speed not reasonable and prudent. | 3 points |
| VTL 1180-A is a catch all speeding provision. It is not based on a specific speed per se, but rather alleges that the speed was to fast under the circumstances. An example would be traveling 50 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone during a snow storm. Even though you may have been traveling under the speed limit, the officer may cite you for an 1180.A alleging that the speed was unreasonable under the circumstances. | |

Speeding Ticket Convictions can lead to an additional NYS DMV Driver Assessment fee
In addition to the points, fines, surcharges and insurance increases that result from a speeding ticket conviction, the NYS DMV will also assess a driver assessment fee of $300 for those who receive 6 points on their license within an 18 month period (total of $300 payable over 3 years) and an additional $25 per point to be paid for 3 years for each point thereafter.
This will appear as a separate bill from the DMV, and would apply to anyone who pleads guilty to a 6 point speeding ticket, or to anyone who accumulates a total of 6 points or more within an 18 month period.
