Fines paid or not, if you didn't attend traffic school or fight the tickets and win - your points on your license go up. This is reported by your state's Dept. of Motor Vehicles to your insurance carrier and they will deem you as a liability. Increases vary by vendor. When the opportunity presents itself, a 1-day sentence to traffic school is the best investment. Also, you would be surprised how often cops don't show up for court on traffic ticket challenges - resulting in the citation being dropped altogether. You can always ask the officer, "When was the last time your radar gun was calibrated?" or the ever popular excuse, "My spedometer has been acting up recently, and I'm getting it checked out..." Anyhow, good luck and for heaven's sakes - S L O W. . . D O W N !

It depends if you receive points on your license or not. No points really doesn't affect the insurance rates, but rates will increase if you receive points on your license.AnswerYes, a speeding ticket will most likely increase an insurance policy. Every year at renewal the motor vehicle report is run. If there is a ticket, the insurance company has the right to surcharge the policy (upwards of 15%) because of the ticket. The charge will depend on the severity of the ticket and it will only be applied at renewal. The surcharge will remain on the policy for three policy years.
Speeding tickets and other accidents and violations will affect your auto insurance rates no matter what state you are in. The speed at which you were speeding can also affect your rates. One minor ticket will make very little difference in your insurance rate. Some companies do not increase your rate for just one minor violation in a three year period. It depends on the insurance company and their regulations.

Yes, a speeding ticket will affect your insurance rate. The good news is each insurance company has different rates. It depends on how many speeding tickets you have had, or if this is the first one. If you have a speeding ticket you may want to look into traffic school to wipe it off your record and keep your rates unaffected.
