how much will my speeding ticket be and is it possible for my insurance not to go up?

Question

I got pulled over doing 96 in a 70mph speed limit. In california around King City and I want to know a couple things. How much will the ticket approximately be? Is it worth contesting? Will going to driving school make it so I don't get a point on my license? And how do I make it so my insurance does not increase?

Answer 1

i think its 10 dollars for every mph over the speed limit, plus a few other fines. I would talk to an public defender or your own attorney and they might be able to plea bargain down because you were going over 20 mph over and that may be considered wreckless driving. Traffic school may be an option to keep it off your record.

Answer 2

Generally the citation amount will be written on the back of the ticket or another place on the citation. There is probably a phone number as well. If you don't see the price, call the number or the local court house. If you plead guilty or no contest, it will eventually be placed on your driving record. Insurance companies will randomly pull driver history, so yours could be randomly pulled. If so and the citation shows, your insurance will go up. If you change insurance companies, they will automatically check your driving history. Speeding tickets generally stay in your history for approx. 3 years. Contesting it is a possibility, but if your convicted your guilty. You might wish to check into a "diversion" if your state allows that. It might cost more but it keeps it off your history (double check this with your court). It sounds like your a danger to yourself and others around you if your driving at that speed. Slow down and live a healthy life. An accident could paralyze you, all to get somewhere a few minutes early. Certainly not worth it.

Answer 5

The cost should be on the back of the ticket. But I agree w/person above - $10 for every mph above speed limit is the going rate. It would impact your insurance, unless you can contest it. If it's your first ticket you can usually go before the clerk and say you didnt realize the speed, you have good record otherwise, it won't happen again, etc. That can work.

Answer 6

It will depend on how much faster than the speed limit is. Going that fast you'd be wasting your time contesting it plus if reported
to your insurance co. (which it probably already has) will go up.
This I know from experience.

Answer 7

You might want to call one of those ticket lawyers in the phone book; they are usually able to get reductions and keep it from staying on file where your insurance would find it.

Answer 8

Dang, I think insurance companies can raise rate on any suspicion of risk increase. They're pretty evil anyways.
