Regarding your insurance, you get one chance with State Farm - you can have their good rate with one and only one speeding ticket. Get two, and you're surcharged. Get three, and they drop you as soon as they notice.

I already filed to appear in court for the tickets. I have to go either way so it makes no difference to me. I just hope its on the same day and time.

From my research, State Farm was one of the companies that was very up tight about convictions. But the posts i read were a few years old, they might have changed their policy. I guess the only way for me to find out is to call an agent anonymously.

It's no skin off my nose. I made the recommendation for YOUR benefit.

Yep, i'll be using them if i do decide to hire professional help. Need to confirm if it will increase my premiums first.

Yep doing that first thing tomorrow morning.

Redline charges a tidy sum.
Worth it, but tidy nevertheless.
I don't like to play that game anymore, after the first time.

Im with statefarm i have had 3 speeding tickets while with them, all off my record now. They never found out about any of them, my rates never increased. Maybe you will get lucky also lol

I had almost the exact same tickets, except I wasn't in a school zone (23 over in a 60). First tickets and I paid a professional to take care of it for me, no time off work and ended up with no ticket.

Did you have a good reason for speeding or was there an error on the ticket? I had no excuse for speeding other then being late for class and no errors on the ticket.
