Consequences of a Traffic Ticket

When you receive a ticket, the easiest option may be to simply plead guilty,pay the fine and move on with your life. While this may seem like the easier option, it is actually a more problematic route. A conviction for a ticket can have a significant impact on your driving record, as well as your bank account. When you plead guilty to a traffic violation, it can lead to:

• License suspension
• Points on your driving record
• Significant monetary fines and penalties
• Serious hikes on your insurance premiums

Perhaps the most significant impact is on your automobile insurance. When you plead guilty to a traffic ticket, the department of motor vehicle will record points on your driving record. In turn, your insurance carrier counts these points when determining your premiums. If you have accumulated more than 8 points on your record, you may be ineligible for standard automobile insurance and will have to pay for a significantly more expensive policy.
