Easy Pickings...
...that's what we were. Driving the S/O's BMW home from a visit to her family in Locust Valley. Radar detector is muted because she doesn't like the noise from all the false alarms. 
Yeah, I know. So on the service road parallel to the LIE in East Hills...50 in a 30. DOH!@!@!
How much is this going to cost me? I haven't had a NY ticket in years. :o

We'll pray it is reasonable! 
Isn't the amount on the ticket? I got tagged for $140 on the LIE in Sufflolk a couple of months ago doing 80mph in the SUV! 
NY doesn't trade points with Connecticut - not sure about Mass. - good luck with yours.
PS: I've got family in Locust Valley too!

Not.
Not.
Us speed??? No way!! I was brought up a good christian boy.
I used this guy to have both the fee and the points reduced when I got my infamous 101 in a 50 last year. I would have lost my license if he hadn't. I went from 11 points to 3 and I knocked off the last 3 with a defensive driving course. 50 in a 30 sounds like it might even get dismissed.

OK, here's the answer. There's a separate "price list" supposed to be given out with the ticket. 20 over costs you $145.

the "Special" price list is for non-NY residents.
sorry aobut your ticket. If they dont transfer points I would jsut pay it otherwise you might want to see if you can get it lowered.
BTW - did you have a word with the wife for having the radar on mute - kind of like carrying a gun without having bullets in it.

Sometimes I think we get lucky (use that word very loosely) that we don't have a points system in MA like other states do. There isn't a real good way to decide how many points in another state are worth how many steps in MA.
