I recently received a speeding ticket for going 55 in a 45 in MN. I am a MN resident and this is my first moving violation. I had heard that I can pay an extra fee to prevent the ticket from being reported to my insurance; is that correct?
I am unable to go to court because I will be out of town, but without going to court is there any other way to handle this?
Also, I am 17, if that has any effect upon my situation.

What you seem to be saying is how can you get out of this? It's not the end of the world. It could happen to anyone. A sign of maturity is dealing with it in a responsible manner. I think you know what you should do, but get your mom and dad in on this if you need advice. They may not like the fact that you got a ticket but trust me they've had them too. They will help you. Good luck!

possibly - check to see if you can attend traffic school
may end up paying about the $ame dollar$
HOWEVER - your insurance company never sees the citation
do this prior to your court date - uh - like MONDAY
get in contact with the city or county/pasrish clerk of the courts
they will have all the info - you may have to find the traffic
school in the yellow pages and make a reservation -
usually on Saturday

I always get a lawyer for moving violations. I know it's a lot easier to get off first time offenses, almost guaranteed with a lawyer. I dunno about an extra fee, but then I don't live in MN either.

Same thing happened to me, first moving violation. I got a lawyer and he got it thrown out. I think it cost me around 150 dollars. I thought that was well worth it.
P.S. I didn't have to go to traffic school either

you can have it taken off if your state will offer a defensive driving class instead of the ticket.
