Theoretically, yes. However, this is very unlikely. Most traffic tickets have some kind of jail time associated with them—in the case of VTL 1180(a) it is 15 days for a first offense. Judges reserve jail sentences for the worst drivers, in particular, chronic offenders and/or those who show little remorse for the risks that they take. In the vast majority of cases, driving at a speed that is not reasonable or prudent is not going to result in jail time.
