Consider yourself lucky!
in today's paper I read where a 17 year old driver was arrested on 3 counts of vehicular homicide. Three people in another car are dead, they rolled over when he was speeding and cut them off.
Yes, this affect your ins, it probably will go through the roof, will cost you money for fines,(look on the ticket) and you'll be on very thin ice if you get another violation.Your license could be suspended.
However, this sure beats being dead.

It will not affect your insurance if you a) pay the ticket and b) do traffic school. Traffic school will erase 1 ticket every 18 months so your insurance company will never know you have a ticket. You have to pay extra on the ticket to get the traffic school option. Your city/county will send you a list of approved online traffic schools for them. Online traffic school is a lot easier than going to an actual school.

Even though it's more work, you should do this because your insurance at 16 is already high, and it could really jump with a ticket. As long as you don't get another ticket, you'll be fine.

The ticket tells you what your options are, look at the back of it. Since you are in your first year of driving, and received a ticket, that if written up as Reckless Driving, or Negligient Driving, because of your excess speed, you may lose your license for up to a year. If the ticket is speeding, your insurance rates will go up, and again being your first yr driving, you may lose some time with that license. Slow down!

Ah, it relatively is an comprehensible challenge. i've got have been given seen this many situations interior the previous. study this heavily now: in case you're taking a seat indoors the reason tension seat of your vehicle and look shrink than the instruction wheel you will see 2 probably 3 pedals. Now look on the pedal which you're interestingly making use of each and each and each and all the time (the tall skinny one) it fairly is a "gas pedal", directly to the left of that one there's a short fat pedal. it relatively is suggested as a "brake pedal" and ought to be used to chop back the appropriate fee of the motorcar. If used in suitable share this "brake pedal" can keep you from getting any greater advantageous rushing tickets indoors the destiny. you ought to ought to purpose with the quantity of hysteria mandatory to sluggish your motorcar. it relatively isn't any longer purely like the gas pedal, you will no longer be waiting to actual slam it to the floor. It desires to be eased onto slowly. in case you have been rushing and your residing domicile domicile windows are tinted then guy up and pay the penalty.

Kiss more of your money goodbye. Your insurance will probably go up, you will need to pay the fine and any associated court costs and yes...you may need to attend traffic school. What were you thinking doing that?

I have known a person to do all you just said. As for your insurance it depends on which insurance company you are with. You are in the category of "Accident Prone" because of your age, and it is a moving violation. Ouch!

Yes, it will affect your insurance. 15 over is pretty serious. Just read the ticket, it will tell you what you need to do and when you need to do it.

Yes, it will raise your insurance premium. Look at back of ticket and read instructions. If one option is to send in fine by mail, do it.
