The True Cost of a Speeding Ticket could be a hike in your auto
insurance premiums!
By: Wayne Patterson
Families with teenagers may face an economic
disaster if the teen driver receives a citation. One traffic ticket
for rolling through a stop sign could cost as much as $3000 in increased
auto insurance premiums over the
three years it remains on their record. The insurance industry considers
young adults as teenagers until the age of 23.
The purpose of relating Mary and Jeffrey's
stories is not for you to feel sorry for them. It is to impress
upon you the severe consequences that may result from a traffic
ticket. It is important to obey all traffic laws, not just for your
physical protection but also for the health of your pocketbook.
I have found that many people are more concerned about their pocketbook
than their personal safety.
What should you do if you receive a citation?
Never just pay a speeding ticket. Check with the clerk of court
to see if you are eligible for traffic school, even if it is an
out-of-state citation. Many states now accept online traffic school.

If traffic school is not available then you
or your attorney need to appear in court to contest the speeding
ticket. Hiring an attorney may be your cheapest option when you
consider the additional cost of you auto
insurance. Check with your insurance agent to find out the consequences
of the original charge being entered on your driving record. The
American Bar Association says: "The best way for the majority
of Americans to be able to assure themselves of legal assistance
when they need it... is through a prepaid legal plan." For

Drive safe and stay out of the "No Zone."
Remember if you got it a truck brought it.
