Questions from drivers about VTL § 1180(a), Speed Not Reasonable and Prudent, answered by the Benjamin Goldman Law Office. For penalties, points, and defense options, read the VTL § 1180(a), Speed Not Reasonable and Prudent.
I received a ticket for "speed not reasonable and prudent." I was going 55 in a 40 mph area. The officer said he would not put the actual speed on the ticket and told me I could fight it. Would pleading guilty put points on my license? It was clear out, the road was empty, and it was around 10 p.m. I was just driving along and did not realize I was that far over the limit. I am not sure what I should do.
