School's Out, But Can You Still Get a Ticket?
So, you're cruising down a New York City street, feeling the wind in your hair (or the AC blasting, let's be real), when you spot that dreaded yellow sign: SCHOOL ZONE. Your heart skips a beat. School's out! you mentally exclaim. I'm in the clear, right? Wrong-o, speed demon.

The Big Bad Wolf (or Camera) Is Watching
New York City has decided to turn school zones into a 24/7, 365-day speed trap. Yes, you heard that right. Whether it's Christmas morning, your birthday, or the middle of the night, those cameras are always on the lookout for speedsters. It's like Big Brother, but with less privacy invasion and more ticket-issuing.
Tip: A slow skim is better than a rushed read.
The Fine Print (Literally)
Now, before you start plotting your revenge on the city, let's clarify a few things. You can still get a ticket in a school zone even when school is out. The fines might be a bit lower, but they're still there, taunting you like a bad ex.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
But here's the kicker: you won't get points on your license for a school zone speeding ticket. So, there's a tiny silver lining.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
