In New York State, it is 4 points on your driving record for going 17 mph over the posted speed limit, if you have a NYS license. Since you instead have a New Jersey license, you will only receive 2 points on your NJ license. This is due to the fact that NJ has decided to only assess 2 points for out of state moving violations.

If you already have a lot of points or violations on your driving record you might want to get a lawyer to fight this speeding ticket, it is a personal decision that you will have to make. If you want to see if there is driving school or other remedies in New York for taking care of the ticket you can try contacting the NYS DMV.
