Speeding Violation In Saratoga

[waynewilliams]

What is the name of your state? New York

I was stopped for speeding in Saratoga Springs New York. I was cited for going 55 in a 30.

I have a couple of questions:

1) What is the Fine/Surcharge for that vehicle infraction ?
2) The officer stated that I was slowing down, but not in time. I was coming from an area that went from a 55mph zone to a 40mph zone then down to a 30mph zone. The 40mph zone was designated by 3 40mph signs in a row. The 30mph zone posted only one sign before I reached a traffic light where I proceeded to take a right. I was pulled over after I took the right.
My question is this: Don't I have until the 2nd 30mph zone sign to fully deccelerate to 30mph ??

Thanks for your help

Q: Don't I have until the 2nd 30mph zone sign to fully deccelerate to 30mph ?

A: No; the speed limit changes at the sign.

Supposedly you are to send in the ticket with either the guilty or not guilty box checked. Then they will advise you of the fine or your court date. Usually if you plead not guilty, they will hold a pretrial hearing and offer you a reduction.
