I took a Defensive Driving course for my ticket, but don't want to let them know unless I have to...will they know anyway?
go to traffic court and take your proof of insurance with you. this will prove to the judge that you have insurance and they will usually remove that part of the ticket.
The ticket probably wasn't for no insurance, it was for no proof of insurance. Depending on your state, you should be able to just go to the county clerk (or just attend the court date on your ticket) show the judge proof of insurance.
the only thing that matters is whether or not you had insurance at the date you got pulled over. if you got insurance two weeks later that will not work. if you had valid insurance but did not have a copy of it with you contact the court and let them know...they will ask for proof of coverage. if you can provide that they will dismiss the ticket. acceptable proof of insurance is an insurance card showing you had coverage on said date or a letter of experience from your insurance company.
The ticket will only get dropped if you have proof that you HAD insurance at the time of the ticket had been issued. You may get the ticket fine lowered with proof that you now have the required insurance.
300.00 I got a ticket for this. I got insurance the day after getting the ticket. The judge gave me credit off the ticket for getting proof of insurance and then they added court cost . In total it cost me 215 bucks plus the cost of insurance.
No use
It depends on who got the ticket. If the ticket was issued to the driver it will effect his insurance but if it was issued to the passenger then it will only effect his insurance.
The increase in insurance for any ticket is dependent upon the insurance company and the driver. Some insurance policies will not go up in the event of one ticket.
You will need to pay the ticket that your receive, it is never anyone's responsibility to pay for your infractions. If you are wondering who is at fault, the person who got a ticket may or may not be. It is the insurance company that determines fault and not the police officer that wrote the ticket.
If your 16 year old got a speeding ticket the parent's insurance be definitely be affected in Michigan. The insurance bill will increase in money owed.
It depends where you got the ticket. In Texas they have no idea unless you are convicted and it goes on your record, or if an accident was involved. I am a Dallas Fort Worth area traffic ticket and warrant attorney. Contact me if you need help at richie@richardhmartin.com or www.richardhmartin.com.
I know when I got a ticket, I went to the courthouse and met with one of the people there and told them to "stay" the ticket. Which meant that if I didn't get another ticket within a year of that ticket, it would not go on my insurance. However, if you got another ticket, then both would go on your record. I have also heard that if the ticket is less than 10 mph over the limit, then it automatically doesn't go on your insurance. However, I think this might be a myth, because when I went to "stay" my ticket I was going 37 in a 30, and the worker never said anything about it not going on my insurance. It may also have something to do with select counties too.
