Hello guys,
I was driving in my personal vehicle. A highway patrol officer stopped me for going about 10 miles over the limit on the freeway and gave me a ticket for 5miles over the speed limit. Now, my question is this ticket would cause to my insurance to go up? according to a prosecutor here in Utah, the DMV is not required to report under 10 miles over the limit to the insurance ( he was not sure if that law is the same for CDL). Any experience from you guys?
ticket for 5 miles over the limit

Well then it probably won't go up. It's says there not required to report it, and let's be honest when was the last time the DMV had there #### together lol
chimbotano Thanks this. -
Get you a local lawyer in the area that you got the ticket that specializes in traffic cases. Depending on your record, a plea bargain can be in your future.
chimbotano and ExOTR Thank this. -
Also are you asking for PErsonal vehicle insurance or commercial?

chimbotano, Big Don and John Dewart Thank this. -
Lawyer probably $1500 minimum, and it will take 6 months to get resolved.
Highway Patrol told me once, " 78% of the people on the highway obey the speed limit, we catch the rest."
chimbotano Thanks this. -
I had a ticket years ago for going 68mph in a 40 mph zone.In my car at night. Went to court and "payed more money" to the court to get it wrote up as Faulty equipment (bad speedometer).This recorded it as a Non moving violation.Thus didn't raise insurance and not counted against driving record.I say go to court,if you can.And look into this option.It's always about Money.So you pay more money and it may just dissappear! JMOchimbotano Thanks this.

1500$ for an attorney? My traffic guy in DFW only charges 150$, unless it actually goes to trial. I was placed on deferred which only a district judge can grant in Texas for cdl holders, municipal judges don't have the authority anymore.
chimbotano Thanks this. -
First phone calls to attorneys are free...........doesn't hurt to check into one.
chimbotano Thanks this.
