I got my first speeding ticket today. Going 81mph in a 60 zone! I have been speeding down this freeway for 3 years, and they finally got me. Had a cop with a radar detector hiding on an overpass! That's no fair! They shouldn't be so sneaky!
Got to pay $200
Now I haven't told little ole mommy yet, will it show up in the insurance statement?
Dont tell me that!
Do you know if it will shop up on the next statement, or when it's time to renew the policy?
Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket?
I got a ticket for going through a stop sign when I was sixteen.
I'm pretty sure that your parents insurance will go up immediatly. And if you try to apply for your own insurance, your rates will be higher becuase you got a ticket.
But you could be in big trouble, because your not a listed opperator. . . and then you go and get a ticket.
Matt, my friend, you may be in a world of shit. You better bite the bullet and tell your folks, or run away.
Good, finally someone with experience.
So does it really mess up your record Dim?
Some people on the net are saying it will take a year to show up on the statement.
My best friends boyfriend took her car, got a spedding ticket, and it hasn't shown up on her parents statement, it's been over a year
So I have some hope!
Dunno about the US, but over here it goes on your licence for 5 years and if you fail to declare it to the insurance then that's fraud and voids any policy with zero refund.
I've only had one actually affect my insurance but I think that's because I've been in alot of different states. Hopefully the others never catch up with me.
yup, yup, and yup. It will show up in the insurance rates at renewal time. Yes, you now have so many points assessed against your driving record for points for the court system. Once you max out on points, your license will be suspended for so long. If you apply for your own insurance policy, and you are a single male under age 27, be ready to sacrifice your soul to the insurance company. If you own an OLD car, like about 10 years old, paid in full, and a car not considered high risk or a racing vehicle, THEN, you will have a lower rate for LIABILITY only, no actual car coverage at all. You might get away with about $1200 a year, but that's just a guess. and take a high deductible like $500.00, meaning, you pay the first $500 on any claim against you. Your rates will be lower if you take a higher deductible. Liability is just insurance for the other person if YOU hit someone or another car or property damage like someone's house/fence. No coverage for your car at all. sorry, life sucks. join the rest of us who sacrifice daily to the insurance companies who rule us.
I went to see an attorney at school today, and she said that with my ticket, I would need to sign up for some deferred jurisdiction crap, take a defensive driving course on the internet and it wouldn't show up on my record. That's what the clerk at The Municipal Court told me too!
