License suspension for probation violation

[whitewater090]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

Hello, the question I have is whether or not I am entitled to an appeal of license suspension. I am a fairly new driver, my license was issued on 09/14/10 and I just recently received a notice of license suspension. The letter stated that I was convicted of a speeding violation during probationary period on 4/15/11. According to the time of my conviction, that was seven months from when I took my road test. I live in New York state and the probation period for new drivers is six months after the road test. If I can use this or any other information to support my case that would be of huge help. The violation is listed as "510B of the vehicle and traffic law."

Thanks.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

You RECEIVED the cite during the probationary period. What matters is whether or not the offense was COMMITTED during the probationary period...not when you were convicted.
