Most Tickets Will Cause Your Insurance to Go Up
The amount of the increase depends on the ticket. For example:
- Driving 68 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone would result in two insurance points, which would mean a 45% increase.
- Driving 78 mph in a 65 mph zone is more serious, and would result in four points, and in an increase of 80%.
Usually, I can get these types of speeding charges reduced so that your insurance does not go up as much or not at all. Learn more about reducing tickets to improper equipment or using a prayer for judgment continued.
Some Tickets Will Cause License Suspension
Some speeding tickets will cause your license to be suspended unless they are reduced. The most common type of suspension occurs when both of these things are true:
- You are driving over 55 miles per hour, and
- At the same time your speed is more than 15 miles per hour over the limit
Example
A charge of 74 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone would result in a thirty-day suspension.
Again, I usually can get these cases reduced to prevent the suspension.
