Celica Forums General Discussion General Rut Row, first ticket!

Basicly I was driving home from the lake to go to work, and I guess a cop came out of no where and clocked me. Funny thing was my radar detector didn't even go off, which has NEVER happened before.

Was actually doing 30 over, but he lowered it to 15 over.

I really wasn't even paying attention to my speed, just a wide open country road.

Maybe time to invest in Valentine 1

Does 1 ticket affect insurance?

yea. of course it does. mostly depends on your age the younger you are the more it is going to cost you. like me 3 tickts and 1 accident and i'm 17. my insurace is sky high.

Yeah, especially since going 15 over is a lot & if you're still a minro, you just got owned.

I was goin 23 over for my first ticket. It didnt affect my insurance and im under 18. It was like an 80 dollar ticket.

^ How much did your parents give the judge

I had a friend of mine who hit some one 'cuz he didnt see a stop sign. His insurance went sky high.

Haha, everyone is either getting a ticket or getting in an accident.

i have gotten 2 tickets but got them dismissed due to defensive driving and deferred judication (90 day probation) so my insurance didnt change prolly got better because i took defensive driving

As long as you don't get points shouldnt really affect your insurance.

read the fine print on the back of the ticket. Some states allow you to take a defensive driving class and they clear the ticket. You are only allowed to do that once every 12 months though. Yes it will affect insurance, but if you get it cleared it won't. The DD class I took was taught by a comedian!! You can rent a tape at blockbuster too.

take traffic school. it takes the point off and it wont affect your insurance

you most likely have the option to go to driving school and pay the ticket

that way you have no record of the accident and insurance will have no need to know

Slow down Speed Racer!

i just recently wrecked the shit outa my GTS, did 8g's worth of damage...my insurance only went up 10 bucks a month

i could of sworn the officer said it wouldn't do any points to my insurance.

could be mistaken
