As far as insurance rates go should you go to court to reduce the points on your license even if the violation will not be erased?

It is always a good idea to contest any speeding or traffic ticket. Almost every traffic court will offer you a reduction in return for a guilty plea if you appear in court. Of course this depends on the exact circumstances and you need to know the consequences before agreeing. The lower the violation the lower the number of insurance points and the lower your insurance premiums. For serious violations you should always get legal advice before doing anything. Never miss a court date or they will tack on a Failure to Appear fine and suspend your license. A suspension equals a major insurance increase and possibly a night or two in jail if you are stopped. lwpat Speeding Ticket Central

If you fought a ticket in court and the court dropped the points will the points still show as insurance points?
The violation that is enterd by the court will also be entered on your MVR for driver's license and insurance points. If you ended up pleading guilty to a lesser violation then the points in both cases will be less. Insurance companies can assess points even though there are no driver's license points assessed.
How will a handicapped parking ticket affect your insurance and points?
It probably won't effect either one. A parking violation is not considered a moving violation and therefore it will not effect your insurance. I don't think it will count as points on your drivers license either.

Reckless driving is often considered a major violation and will likely get you 6 points on your license, just like a drunken driving violation does.
How do you determine how many points will be assessed for a speeding ticket?
This depends entirely on state law. Some states do not even have a point system and the same speeding violation can carry different point values in different states. The clerk of court or the DMV in your home state can advise you of how a particular violation will effect your drivers license. Remember that insurance points are different from drivers license points. You may be charged an additional insurance premium for a speeding ticket even though it carriers no drivers license points. lwpat

If you are in an accident and at fault do you get points on your license or your insurance policy or both?
Your question makes (2) assumptions. (1) that you were cited and (2) the violation has points. Not all vehicle code violations have points associated with them. Points are only assigned by the state to your driving record (license) upon conviction. When/if your insurance company reviews your driving record and sees the accident (not the points) and that you are listed as unit or vehicle 1 (at fault) then they may charge a surcharge
