Comments on: The Hidden Costs Of A Simple Speeding Ticket http://blog.motorists.org/the-hidden-costs-of-a-simple-speeding-ticket/ News For Drivers Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:41:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Ric http://blog.motorists.org/the-hidden-costs-of-a-simple-speeding-ticket/comment-page-1/#comment-10179 Ric Thu, 20 Nov 2008 23:05:48 +0000 http://www.motorists.org/blog/traffic-tickets/the-hidden-costs-of-a-simple-speeding-ticket/#comment-10179 This is an excellent article about the hidden costs of paying your traffic ticket. Most people pay their tickets figuring they are guilty and assuming they have little recourse in Court. I am an NJ traffic ticket attorney in New Jersey, where we have the highest car insurance in the land, and the cost of the ticket is only the beginning. There is no hard and fast formula for computing the additional insurance cost (variables include your insurance company, your driving record, your age, etc.) but it is usually VERY cost effective to go to Court and deal with the Prosecutor. He/She usually has your case and dozens others and is inclined to offer you some form of plea bargain just to get the case resolved. It doesn't hurt to have an attorney if you have a high point ticket or a number of moving violations as an attorney will frequently be able to get your a better disposition than you can yourself. Another good article was posted on MSN Money at http://ticketscratcher.com/. The moral of the story is DON'T JUST PAY YOUR NJ SPEEDING TICKET. There is a way to cut the bleeding and avoid all that added insurance cost. Again, great article! BTW you can contact my office and submit your NJ Traffic Ticket to me at my website www.njpleabargain.com Regards! This is an excellent article about the hidden costs of paying your traffic ticket.

The accident numbers were up for trucks by a large percentage even compensated for increased miles driven. Jeff that is not what I read.

For example, the speed limit used to be 75mph on the Ohio Turnpike, but now the limit is only 65. Traffic flows above the posted speed limit because the speed limit is illegally underposted.

No police needed for giving out tickets so that saves thousands of dollars. If everyone is now driving the same speed it is much safer also. Sounds like it met its objective. Doug I am glad I live in the US so I do not have to help pay the costs of an erratic unsafe driver. For Eric Peters the speed limit is not set 5 to 10 mph below the flow of traffic, the traffic flows 5 to 10 mph above the set limit. There is a difference. Garagravaar it sounds pretty good then.

South of Hermosillo, I was stopped by the Federal Police for driving 160Km/h in a 100 Zone (100MPH in a 62MPH Zone). The cost of the Ticket was approximately 23 US Dollars. In Mexico (as well as Germany), it is illegal for the Government to share a person's driving records with Insurance Companies.
