THOUSANDS OF CASES WON LET US DO THE WORRYING We have fought thousands of tickets and won. Our track record speaks for itself.

YOUR TICKET & HOW WE CAN STOP IT

It’s one of life’s great mysteries: How much is that traffic ticket going to cost?

Not the fine itself, but the almost inevitable bump in your insurance rate that will follow.

Call your insurance company with a “what if” scenario, and they’ll probably tell you that they won’t know until it actually happens. (I can personally confirm this.)

Well, online marketplace Insurance.com has a little more pull and it surveyed six top carriers to figure out the average increase 18 different violations would bring to the driver of a 2017 Honda Accord LX with typical coverage.

It’s no surprise that drunk driving as the worst impact, causing a 79 percent increase, but reckless driving and street racing weren’t far behind at 73 percent and 71 percent. Things drop off quickly after that, with a 30 mph over speeding ticket netting just a 30 percent increase.

Interestingly, getting caught driving without insurance only increases premiums by 10 percent, while failing to use a seatbelt barely moves the needle, just 3 percent.

The range can vary dramatically, however. For example: The lowest rate for a driver with a 16-29 mph over speeding ticket on their record would pay $1,449 at Geico and $2,239 at Allstate, so it pays to shop around.

The full list follows to scare you straight:

  • DUI/DWI first offense    79%
  • Reckless driving 73%
  • Operating a vehicle in a race (highway racing)     71%
  • Speeding 30+ over limit 30%
  • Careless driving 26%
  • Texting-while-driving     23%
  • Distracted driving             22%
  • Speeding 16-29 MPH over limit  22%
  • Improper/illegal pass      20%
  • Speeding 1-15 MPH over limit     20%
  • Following too closely      20%
  • Improper turn   20%
  • Failure to yield  20%
  • Failure to stop   19%
  • Talking on cell phone     16%
  • Driving without a license or permit           12%
  • Driving without insurance            10%
  • Seat belt infraction          3%

TRAFFIC TICKET INFRACTIONS & WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Traffic infractions are what we more commonly know as traffic tickets, such as speeding tickets and stop sign violations. Traffic infractions are civil and not criminal violations of the law. That means a traffic infraction will not go on your criminal record and a person cannot go to jail for a traffic infraction. A person given a traffic infraction will be assessed a civil penalty, such as a fine, and that infraction can go on your driving record. Traffic infractions can affect your insurance, they can suspend or revoke your driver’s license, and they can suspend or revoke your CDL and affect your employment if you drive for a living. Delinquent fines can be sent into collections and affect your credit.

There are two types of traffic infractions, moving and non-moving violations. Moving violations, such as speeding tickets, stop sign tickets, and accident tickets, have a safety component. They are likely to impact your car insurance and they can suspend your driver’s license. Non-moving violations, such as expired license plate tabs and parking tickets, are not considered to have a safety component and are not likely to affect your car insurance or driver’s license. The tricky part of traffic infractions, is that all moving violations and most non-moving violations are reported on your driving record. Even if a non-moving violation in itself is not likely to affect your insurance, it can affect your insurance if you have similar violations, or you have a combination of moving and non-moving infractions on your driving record already. More so, what constitutes a moving versus a non-moving violation often defies common sense. For example, many people do not realize camera enforced speeding tickets are processed like parking infractions, are classified as non-moving violations, and do not get reported on your driving record.

DON’T PAY THAT TICKET YET

Given all the complexities of traffic law you should not immediately pay a traffic ticket because you might not want to face the consequences later on. It is better to know what you are facing from the beginning than to be begging for forgiveness later on. A dedicated traffic attorney can help you understand your traffic ticket, the potential consequences, and your legal rights. Not all traffic tickets are worth fighting and Yranela & Associates traffic lawyers will give you open and honest advice so you can make the best decision about what to do.
