It is my first ticket ever. I've never had any accidents or anything, so I don't have a bad driving record.

it shouldn't go up at all because your insurance won't know you got the ticket. If they did know it doesn't go up much if you weren't exceeding the speed limit by very much so not much to worry about.

well there are a LOT of factors. If it is your first (and only) ticket between now and the renewal there prob. won't be any change. This may vary if your age is under 23 (or 26 in some areas).. Below that the insuracance company may apply a little more stringent rules.
Do the traffic school thing.. (it won't erase it from your record but it won't count towards suspension either).. and then just drive nice and easy... life is long.. slow down to enjoy the best parts.

The DMV will notify your insurance company almost instantly. This happened to me in 1999 with a speeding ticket. Some surcharge 20 percent or more, while others have forgiveness for the first ticket.

If you have a choice of paying the ticket or taking defensive driving, take the driving. Then it does not go on your record and you can get a discount on your insurance because you took defensive driving.

One ticket or claim in three years is generally the red flag. They will ask you when you renew. If you lie they will screw you totally if you get in an accident.
One ticket is ok, don't get another one for three years.

if you pay the fine and go to traffic school, the ticket doesn't go on your record, so your insurance shouldn't go up... in California, at least...
