NY Penalties for excessive speeding

Speed Maximum Sentence Approximate Fine Driving Points
11-20 mph over 15 days $300 4
21-30 mph over 15 days $300 plus 6
31-40 mph over 30 days $600 plus 8
41+ mph over 30 days $600 plus 11
Also, 11 points is automatic suspension of your license. Just keep that in mind.

You can give this a shot, but just letting you know that traffic infractions due to car malfunctions are not a defense.
