A speeding conviction or other moving violation will be reported on your New York State driving record. If you are insured in New York, some violations can affect your insurance. Under Insurance Law § 2335, speeds of 15 mph or less over the limit (i.e. 80 in a 65) should not affect your rates. Also, having one "other" moving violation should not affect your rates. However, this law is written in a confusing manner, and insurance companies may not all follow the law.

This is always a personal call. In the vast majority of cases an attorney will arrange a plea bargain for his/her client. A speeding ticket can result in thousands of dollars in increased insurance premiums. The cost of an attorney pales in comparsion to the consequences. One of the best ways to access a speeding ticket attorney is through a membership in a prepaid legal plan. A speeding ticket attorney is provided at no cost if you are a member when you receive the ticket.

In some cases you can beat your speeding ticket. In almost all jurisdictions it is possible to get the fine and speeding ticket points reduced. Everything depends on yor particular situation and the procedures of the specific traffic court. We recommend a speeding ticket attorney for any serious traffic violation. The consequences are too severe to try it on your own.

Speeding ticket laws vary from state to state. Much of the information you read on the internet is not state specific and cannot be used as a defense in your speeding ticket trial.

Police are strict about enforcing the speed limits here in New Zealand. They use methods such as speed cameras, regular police patrol cars and unmarked mufti (plain clothes) police patrol cars.

Pooling" is, in our opinion, the most fair approach to setting health insurance rates. A health insurance company operating under a pure "pooled" approach uses the same method in determining rates for both new and existing clients, regardless of the client's health status or claims history. In other words, insurance companies with "pooled" rates do not charge lower rates to entice new customers, while charging higher rates to long-time customers.
