There isn't much that you can say to get out of this. Ever since the NYS Troopers were stopped from being able to plea-bargain their summonses because of corruption worries, more & more motorists are ending up with fines & points being assessed on their license.
With speeding tickets, the testimony is long & complicated, but most officers peerforming speed enforcement are pretty good in court, so your chances of that officer goofing are slim.
The fine should be $140 + 4 points. Take the defensive driving class, this will take 4 points off your license. The infraction will stay on your license for 18 months. DON"T GET ANY MORE POINTS in 18 months. The State of NY has a Driver's Responsibility Assessment Fee (basically a surcharge - if you accumulate 6pts or more in an 18-month period you will be surcharged $300 for the initial 6pts and an additional $25 for every pt after 6).
This is spread out over the period of 3-years, but if you don't pay it, NYS DMV will suspend your license.

sure....you may also contest a radar or laser value tag. in spite of the undeniable fact that, your possibilities of scuffling with it are slender. even if that's you vs the cop, the choose will bypass on the conception the cop has no reason to lie yet you do. you want to get out of the price tag, no longer pay the superb and not in any respect get the criteria. in case you base your protection on the cop telling a lie for some unknown reason, your possibilities of prevailing are about 0. you may ought to wrestle it on the conception the cop made an mistakes in calculating the speed. because you're asking about non-radar/laser procedures, sure there are different procedures that could nicely be utilized. If the cop pulled up in the back of you on your blind spot and then matched your %, reading his qualified speedometer, and sees that you've been over the reduce (oftentimes it should be a particular volume, including 5 mph to allow for mistakes on your uncertified speedometer) he can grant you with value tag depending upon tracked and said % over the reduce. you may ought to grant lifelike doubt as to the accuracy of ways he did it. IE: Springtime and they basically switched to summer season tires from their iciness tires. Did they recertify his speedometer? in addition they can use a timer gadget in some parts. The cop can start up one quit watch as you bypass a particular mark, then at the same time as he crosses a similar mark, he begins a 2d quit watch. Then once you bypass yet another mark, he stops the first one, and at the same time as he crosses a similar 2d mark, he stops the 2d. a computer then suits both quit watches and the gap traveled and is derived up with a % on your automobile. They even enable in some parts the cop to mark out 440 yards and he then sits with a quit watch and "clocks' you (it truly is the position the time period got here from) as you commute the quarter mile. If the speed reduce is 60 mph, he's universal with to bypass one mile ought to take you more beneficial than a million minute, and to bypass 440 yards, that's going to take you more beneficial than 15 seconds. in case you do it in 10 seconds, he's universal with you've been rushing and back can grant you with a value tag. Pay the price tag and watch your %.

Go to court plead not guilty and see if the officer shows up. If he doesn't the judge will probably dismiss your case. If he resets it, show up again and repeat. Most officers don't show up. If the officer is there request defensive driver's course, you'll still have to pay for the ticket, but it wont go on your driver's record and your insurance will not go up.

At 15 over, just be thankful that all he wrote was a speeding ticket. That could have been Reckless Driving -- an arrestable offense in most states.

If you didn't think you were special and that traffic laws didn't apply to you. Then you would not be asking this question. Pay the fines you deserve them and SLOW DOWN.
