In Broome County, a speeding ticket can result in 3 to 11 DMV demerit points depending on how far over the limit you were driving. Accumulating 11 or more points within 18 months triggers an automatic license suspension. Driving 20+ mph over the limit or exceeding 85 mph is automatically classified as reckless driving under VTL § 1212, a Class 1 misdemeanor carrying up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
