Got another speeding ticket going to the beach, will car ins. go up ?
Darn it.
Went to the beach (Ocean City and Rehoboth beach) yesterday and was clocked going 73 mph in a 55 zone. $80. I should have known better (procastination will cost you). I should have bought that radar detector I've been thinking about. That's the second speeding ticket in 2 years. Will my insurance go up ? How does that work ? My driver license is Virginia's. Last year's speeding ticket was in Delaware (I don't think they share info with VA). And yesterday was in Maryland (and mostlikely they share info with VA). How can I find out which states share ticketing info with each other and when will your car insurance goes up ? |

Shouldn't for the 2nd in 2 years, but YMMV. It changes by Insurance company. You'll know when you get a little something in the mail...

If you pay the ticket, you get points on your license and your insurance will almost definitely go up. If you fight it , you may get no points. I dont know how far a drive it is buyt may be worth it to fight it. At least 25% of the cops dont show and the ticket will get dismissed. Even if he shows, if your record is good, the judge may give you no points on your license, just the fine.

Interesting. My record is still pretty clean.
Taking a day off and going to the court for this may be worth it. I have to think about this. |

How about doing what I did a few years ago, got a ticket for illegal left turn.
I took the drivers one day class, cost the same as the ticket. Got it off my record and nothing is sent to the insurance co. They have it in every state I think. Will still cost you $80.00 but no record of it after you take the class. And you get to meet others who have a lead foot like yourself. One thing I did like however is talking to the people that got tickets from the radar at an intersection, you know, where they take the pic of your liscense plate and your face screaming (OH NO)! That was way cool as they had there pics with there tickets. |

yeah i used to take that class every 18 months, 4 points off and 10% on insurance , so i would go for points and my girl would go for ins, only allowed once in 18 months, what a waste of a sat =(

Don't you have cruise control? Or are you one of those that think speeding is a victimless crime? Yes, I speed routinely.

a radar detector isnt going to do jack for you unless you are speeding about a 100 yards behind somone else thats speeding , so when the cop nails him you can read it and slow down b4 he pulls out............................speeding by yourself your toast either way
i learned that detectors are illegal in va pulling out of busch gardens, then over to the curb, lol |

The class costs $25 in Texas and you CAN do it online but I wouldn't reccomend that as it's easier to just sit somewhere and zone out. Your insurance won't go up but you still have to pay the ticket.
P.S. I really feel for you getting a ticket for 73 is pretty ridiculous. |

the locals were apparently training one day and pulled my wife over. she was doing 37 in a 35! no ticket, just the bother of being pulled over.
as for me, i've been in the suspension line before. $300/month for liability only on a fiero! thankfully i'm not there anymore!

if you go to court see if you can plea "failure to observe a sign" its a no-point tix.

Check this out. I just google how to fight a ticket. One website suggests you go in to fight the ticket, play a lawyer, etc. here's what they say...

in MD, ask for a continuance/postponement- Officers are given one administrative day to go to court - all the tickets they wrote for the month are on the day's docket, and they have to come in on their own time for your second court date, and in most cases, they wont appear(who wants to use their Vacation time to go to court?). If the Officer is not there, the case is automatically dismissed.(This does NOT include DWI/DUI cases as the Breathealyzer results are counted as prosecutable evidence)
