In NYC the TVB—Traffic Violations Bureau only allows you to plead guilty or not guilty. However, if you receive a summons in Yonkers, then you would report to the Yonkers City Court at 100 South Broadway Yonkers, NY 10701. For example, you received a ticket on Park Hill Ave or Riverdale Ave, an experienced lawyer can defend you. Point reductions are usually offered to attorneys.

Be aware, the higher the speeding violation, the more points you will receive. An easy way to calculate how many points your ticket is worth is to subtract the speed you were going, from the actual speed limit. For example, if you are pulled over for going 60 mph in a 40mph zone, just subtract 60 from 40. That leaves you with 20, and puts you in the 4 point ticket category.

Driving 1-10 MPH over the speed limit	3 points
Driving 11-20 MPH over the speed limit	4 points
Driving 21-30 MPH over the speed limit	6 points
