Insurance And Speeding Tickets
There are a number of variables that contribute to your total cost for car insurance. Your driving history and record are among the most influential factors. People don’t fully appreciate the huge impact that speeding tickets can have on your car insurance rates. Studies reveal that speeding is the primary factor in almost 35% of auto accidents. So, the slower we drive the lower our risk is of being in an accident and the less money insurance companies want in order to cover you as a driver. Research also shows that the majority of speeders slow down temporarily after receiving a speeding ticket. One study tracked speeders for a month after receiving speeding tickets. The subjects reduced their chances of a fatal accident to less than 35%, but the speeders did not continue these safer driving habits for longer than a few months.
