I got a ticket going 70 in a 45 in a town away from my home town. I know I am going to have to pay the ticket, but how can I get it to prevent my insurance from going up

Umm if you were going 70 in a 45 I highly doubt it. You prob could have pulled off like maybe 60 but nobody is going to believe you didnt know it was 45. Therefore they will see you as a crazy, irresponsible teenager. Sorry but I dont think its looking good

I don't think so. Speeding puts points on your license and insurance usually goes up each time you get points. Drivers your age usually pay a lot and there is a good reason if you were going 70 in a 45 mile zone. My advice to you is to slow down.

When you receive the "courtesy notice" in the mail, overpay the ticket by $3.00.
The "date of conviction" is the date the money transaction is finalized. The fine will be satisfied when they receive your overpayment, so you won't ever get an outstanding warrant.
Then they'll send you a refund check for $3.00.
The money transaction won't be finalized until you cash the refund check for the $3.00. If you tear up the check and throw it away, the transaction will never be finalized, there will neve be a date of conviction, and the ticket will never appear on your driving record.

Well, likely this is one expensive lesson. If you are going to get it adjudicated, with the possibility of having it expunged from your record, you will probably need an attorney who specializes in such dealings. Not sure they would agree to that though, at 25 mph over the limit.
In the end it will probably be pretty close to the same costs though.

there are classes u can take to lower your insurance once it goes up.The only way to avoid ins. going up depends on your previous driving record and if you want to hire a lawyer who specializes in traffic.This way if your record is decent they can plea bargain your ticket down where you wont be charged with 25miles over limit.either way its gonna cost you in insurance or possibly lawyer fee.

Depends on your state oklahoma will let you take a drivers improvement course but you have to ask to do it, and it costs 25-75.00 but it won't go on your record. You also have to pay the fine and the course I took lasted for 8 hours but it does help.

You can get a diversion. It wont go on your record if you keep from having anymore incidences in so long of time but you still have to pay the fine.

It's not going to happen.
I will never understand why some people think that pushing down on an accelerator requires exceptional strength, intelligence or cool because it doesn't - most people just think you are an idiot.
Enjoy those higher premiums.

Get a lawyer.
I had a lawyer get me off on a little known law.
cost me a lot, but it was worth it.
