A speeding ticket is what the police give you if you are caught driving over the posted speed limit. Most drivers have received at least one speeding ticket since getting their drivers license. Even so, people have questions regarding speeding tickets, including how they can affect you, your driving record and, most importantly, your car insurance<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are six (6) things you need to know about speeding tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A moving violation refers to an offense that takes place when the vehicle is moving. This includes speeding, failure to yield, and failure to use your turn signal. Moving violations can result in traffic tickets. When you receive one, you can pay the fine or contest it in court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While the average cost of a ticket is $150<\/a>, you can pay much more or less depending on how fast you\u2019re driving and your location. For instance, if you\u2019re flying down the interstate in Illinois, Georgia, Nevada or Virginia, you might rack up more than $2,000 in fines. That\u2019s much more than you will have to pay in other states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Probably. Since insurance companies base their car insurance quotes heavily on your performance behind the wheel, it\u2019s not surprising that getting caught breaking the rules of the road might indicate to them that you are less responsible than they would like. If you get enough of these citations, you could be labeled a high-risk driver<\/a> \u2013 and that could cause your insurance rates to soar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speeding tickets can be costly no matter what state you live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much is a speeding ticket in California<\/a>? \u00a0A study found that a\u00a040-year-old California driver can expect to pay 42 percent more for insurance coverage after a single speeding ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In every state, speeding ticket rates will vary and that is the reason to slow down when you\u2019re driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1.
