I was speeding in Oriskany, which is close to Utica, NY if you weren't sure. I was doing 55 in a 40. I only have my junior license. How many points should I expect and will I get my license taken away for a certain period of time? This is also my first offense.

According to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) you are considered a junior driver if you have a junior learner permit or junior driver license.

The NYS DMV goes on to say your junior permit, license, or privileges will be suspended for 60 days if you are convicted of committing a serious traffic violation (generally three points or more) or two other violations while you hold a junior permit or license.

Also your junior permit, license, or privileges will be revoked for 60 days if you are convicted of a serious violation (generally three points or more) or two other violations within the first six months after you receive your license or privileges back following a suspension or revocation.

You will need to check with the New York DMV and / or court listed on your ticket to determine if this speeding ticket is considered a minor or major (serious) offense.It likely will be found to be a serious violation since speeding 11 to 20 mph over the posted limit is a 4 point offense. The court will be able to advise you on the cost of your ticket and what other penalties may be associated with your speeding citation if you are convicted of it.
