speeding ticket....raise insurance???

my brother got a speeding ticket yesterday...

80mph in a 60!

i was behind him, and there was no way he was doing 80...probably at the most...most most.....70!!!

we are going to fight it!

but,...... will he get points, and will it increase our insurance???

ohh by the way its $176 for the ticket...
we will probably take it to "Ticket Buster"s, pay $70, no points...and they take it to court!

thanks...

keffin

speeding tickets can raise your insurance. just fight it, get it reduced, and hopefully the judge will put it on 'probation'.

thats what happened to me. as long as i didnt get another speeding ticket within 6 months, the ticket would just go away. all i had to do was pay court fees which was like $35 compared to a $90+ ticket.

speeding tickets will always raise your insurance no matter how fast you were going, if you get caught speeding in a school zone you can almost kiss your license goodbye for a year depending on how fast your going.

Thats plain and simple NOT TRUE. I have had 2 tickets in 2 years and my insurance has not gone up at all. It all depends on your states regulations and on your insurance company. In PA if the ticket puts less than 2 points on your license you are not required to inform your insurance company. Most companys will give you a break on one ticket. Now I can't say what your state does..or what your insurance company will do. But I will say that it will not "always" raise your insurance.

all you have to do is show up for your court date. Talk to the Solicitor and put in a plea bargan. You may have to pay the cost of the ticket, but they will probably take it off your record, which is the most important thing.
