Why You Should Fight a Speeding Ticket

There are several reasons you might be compelled to fight a speeding ticket, several of which you may not have considered. By understanding the consequences of ignoring or evading your traffic violation and knowing the best way to handle receiving one, you’ll be better equipped to protect your driving record and keep your insurance expenses down.  Don’t just pay a speeding ticket without first knowing what you’re really paying for.

Reason #1: Damage to Your Permanent Driving Record

Whether you see it or not, your driving record exists and has an impact on your ability to secure a job where driving is required; it is a criteria in your insurance company’s decision process when quoting you a rate for auto insurance.

By working with Ticket Busters (in California), you can fight a speeding ticket and potentially have the ticket removed from your driving history permanently.  With your signature on an application, just about anyone can look up your driving record. Why compromise your chance to secure a job or lower insurance rates when you could have the ticket dismissed?

Reason #2: The Real Cost of a Speeding Ticket

As you’re deciding whether or not to pay for your speeding ticket, try not to be blinded by the seeming low cost. $200 - $500 may appear to be a quick way to resolve the issue and move on, but by forecasting the true cost of the ticket, you may be compelled to think twice.

A raise in car insurance, for example, from $200/mo to $300/mo. would cost you an additional $1,200 per year (that’s $12,000 in ten years). With a good driving history, it’s likely that your insurance company will actually lower your insurance rate over the years. Meaning that $200, could eventually drop to $150, a savings of $600 per year. With that reduction in mind, the true cost of the ticket in this example would be $18,000 over a ten year time span.

So you can pay the $200 - $500 ticket and pay (sample) $18k over the next ten years, or you can decide to fight a speeding ticket and have nothing to pay if you win.
