This would be a 4pt ticket in NY, I pay the 300 plus dollars fine it will be, and won't make a single difference on my RI license.

FWIW, I have two other tickets pending from the last month in RI based off my stupid purchase of a powerful fast car (now selling).

All added up would be 10 pts in NY, which has a limit of 11 before taking your license, and severe punishments after 6 I think. I am very lucky at the moment, and should be able to pay myself out of this hole ive dug and be safe. I am not exceeding 65 from now on, ill be driving my 86 1.6 diesel VW as my personal car.

I am actually a very safe driver, but speeding is a chronic problem, and is the very reason I first bought a MB diesel. Plenty fast to get you there, but won't be creeping up to 80+ without work.

Count yourself as lucky that you don't have a 107. My darling, sweet wife has a lead foot and a driving record to prove it. She was pulled over in UT for doing 110 in an 85...TWICE!! She then proceeded to grab another one in my Lincoln in Ohio. Because of her points, I pay roughly $350 a month for insurance coverage on 4 vehicles, one of which has full coverage.

And to think...I gave her a SUV with a powerful V-8 instead of going the pedal car idea I had.
