Nassau County District Court, 2nd District - Hempstead

The number of points that may result on your vehicle tickets depends on the Nassau County Traffic Ticket violation that you received a ticket for. Failure to signal and failure to obey a traffic control device are common violations that carry two points. Failure to stop at a steady red traffic signal, failure to stop at a stop sign, failure to maintain a lane and failure to use designated lanes are common three point violations. Following too closely carries with it four points. The number of points that you may receive from a speeding ticket depends on how many miles per hour over the speed limit the police officer wrote you up for going. Speeding tickets can range from three points to eleven points. It is important to note that if you are convicted three times for speeding within an 18-month period your license may be revoked. Your license may also be revoked if you accumulate more than ten points on your driver’s license within an 18-month period.
