Caught speeding twice or more on the same journey? How many penalty points will you get?

What happens if you are caught speeding twice or more in a single journey, perhaps within a few minutes of each other? Will you get more than one set of penalty points ? Could this result in disqualification?

This is a question we are often asked by clients worried that they could lose their driving licence in the space of just one journey.

In theory, a driver with a previously clean licence could be caught several times  the same day and as a result be at risk of disqualification under the totting-up system. If you are caught speeding several times on the same journey and accept a fixed penalty for each, you could be at risk of a penalty points disqualification (totting-up). It can happen more easily than you might think, for example where several speed cameras are placed on the same road or motorway.

However, where offences are deemed to have been committed “on the same occasion”, the Court has discretion to impose only the one set of points for two or more offences. Whether or not offences will be treated as committed on the same occasion is a matter of fact for the Court to decide. They need not have been committed simultaneously, but they must be linked in some way.

So if for example the offences were committed  within a few minutes of each other, it may be possible to persuade the Court to impose only one set of points. Every case will depend on its facts.

The rules apply to all endorseable motoring offences, not just speeding.

We can offer you sound legal advice on whether you should accept a Fixed Penalty, or whether it would be better for you to decline the penalty and go to Court. Whichever option you choose, there’s no going back. That’s why it is important to get legal advice and we’re here to help you make the right choice.

Our skills as experienced motoring solicitors can help you in Court to reduce the number of points you might otherwise get. In particular, we can put forward legal arguments on your behalf to persuade the court to impose only one set of points. As a result, you may reduce or avoid the risk of penalty points disqualification. It may also reduce your insurance premium.

For example this month we represented a driver who had been caught twice by different speed cameras, on the A4 West Cromwell Road in West London. The cameras were only half a mile apart and there were only four minutes between the two offences. If our client had simply accepted the two Fixed Penalties the police issued, she would have ended up with six points. Instead, despite police opposition, we were able to persuade the Court to impose only one set of three points.

Whilst not every case is best dealt with in Court, this case demonstrates the importance of taking legal advice before deciding whether or not to accept a Fixed Penalty.

What happens if you are caught speeding twice?

Cars Driving Away caught sppeding by spped camera

With over 5,000 speed cameras in the UK, even the most cautious drivers can find themselves in a situation where they are prosecuted. Where several speed cameras are deployed on the same road or motorway, drivers run the risk of being caught  speeding more than once on the same journey.

It has been questioned whether this would count as one offence or two.

The general rule is that where two speeding offences are deemed to have been committed ‘over the course of the same journey, e.g., within a few minutes of each other, the Court can impose only one set of points for the two or more offences. The question really becomes one of interpretation. Whether or not the offences will be treated separately or together is at the discretion of the court. We have managed to successfully argue, for example, that a journey to and from somewhere on the same day could be considered part of one journey.

What are the speeding penalties in Scotland?

Speeding carries a number of penalties that can have a lasting impact not just on the driver but anyone who relies on their ability to drive, e.g., children. In Scotland:

  • The minimum penalty for speeding is a £100 fine. The maximum speeding fine is £1,000 on normal roads or £2,500 if you get caught on the motorway.
  • You’ll also get between 3 and 6 penalty points on your licence. Or you may even be disqualified if the court considers it appropriate.
  • You could lose your licence if you build up 12 or more penalty points within a three-year period.
  • And if you accrue six or more penalty points within the first two years of passing your test, your licence will be revoked.

What happens when you’re caught by a speed camera?

Within 14 days of being caught speeding by a speed camera, you will be sent a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) and a Section 172 notice. The NIP is often the first indicator that you are facing proceedings for a road traffic offence. It can be given for offences such as  careless driving ,  dangerous driving , and, of course, speeding. The Section 172 notice must be returned within 28 days, declaring who was driving the car at the time of the offence. Following the submission of the Section 172 notice, you will be sent a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN).

Should you plead guilty to a speeding ticket if caught speeding?

On receiving the FPN, if you decide to plead guilty, you will receive a £100 fine and have three points added to your licence. You must accept the fixed penalty within 28 days of its issue and pay it at any court across Scotland. If you do not pay the FPN within 28 days and the matter is referred to the court to deal with, then the FPN is no longer valid and the court has the ability to deal with the matter in any way they see fit. They are not bound by the fact that you previously received a FPN.

If you want to contest the speeding offence, then you simply need to ignore the penalty, and you will usually then receive a citation to attend court in relation to the offence. Only then can you challenge it.

If you have been issued with two or more fixed penalties within the same journey, it is critical that you speak with a road traffic professional before accepting the fines. Once an FPN is paid, you cannot change your mind or challenge it. With proactive legal representation, you may be able to get it reduced to just one offence.

Does anyone know if you get multiple speeding tickets if you have travelled at least 14 times in a week down a road thinking it was a 30 not a 20 restriction?

Mummytotwonow · 25/09/2021 15:03

My poor friend travelled to Wales to help look after a friend after an operation and stayed for a week. She has just returned home and found a speeding ticket (she was travelling 26mph thinking it was 30mph road and the ticket says it was 20mph). She travelled along this road at least twice a day running errands for about a week. She is so so so worried she is going to get multiple speeding tickets with fines and points and lose her license. It says she will get up to 3 points and fine on the first ticket. I have have checked the name of the road online and it looks like it's a fixed camera. She is so worried. Does anyone know what happen in a case like this? Thanks x

I got 2 speeding tickets in one day - one on the way there, one on the way back, same stretch of road.

Sad

Yeah I did a speed awareness course and one guy there had multiple tickets for same stretch of motorway.

Yes you can. My relative got two tickets on the same day through the same camera.

Perhaps I have a too much of a touching faith in the law, but I would imagine there would be grounds for clemency in this case. If it looks like she is going to get multiple fines and points and it tots up to more than 12, she would need to appear before a magistrate, and would have the opportunity to plead her case. I appeared before a Magistrate for driving offences (totting up points - nothing too heinous in its own right) and had the opportunity to make my case.

Yep, I'm also in the two speeding tickets in one day camp. Both temporary variable limits that I just wasn't aware of changing.

She needs to go for an eye test by the sounds of it. Lack of observation.

Were the speed limit signs properly displayed? Usually for 20 they are quite prominent. Someone in my family got two tickets for the same stretch of road unfortunately. I would hope there'd be some room for discussion in this case? You can usually get in touch with the speed enforcement unit- they'll have given contact details in the letter. At the moment though I'd sit tight and see if further letters arrive.

You can defend your license if you need it for your job. DP hired a van and drove it got a week cross country not realising it had a lower speed limit, he didn’t get a single ticket. There’s hope. (Oh and yes he’s an idiot)

Felicity that's what happened to my family member!

@PheasantsNest you sound like a lovely person. She has never been to this area before, was looking after two young children, helping her single parent friend recover from an operation as she doesn't have anyone else. It's hardly doing 50mph in a 30 is it! She's never had a speeding ticket in her life. People make mistakes.

@Silvercatowner

Angry

@WithMyEncyclopedia

Thank you for all of the helpful comments and advice. I will let her know. She first has to respond confirming that she was driving the vehicle. Hopefully, by Monday and Tuesday next week will see if anymore come through and then see what can be done.

Sounds like it might not have been marked up clearly if she didn't see the signs 14 times.

20s round here usually have loads of signs and markings on the actual road.

Tell us which road it is and anyone local may be able to let you know if there is an actual fixed camera. A 20 mph limit and a fixed camera are hard to miss so many times. A fixed camera will be bright yellow and have markings on the floor.

I would definitely be checking that the legally required signage was up on the stretch of road and not obscured by overhanging branches/missing etc

In my area, many roads have recently been made 20mph and the signage is nowhere near adequate. The council are way behind the new limits. It is definitely worth having the friend check this, there might be local groups where it is discussed.

I suggest an eye test may be appropriate. I would expect road signs and road markings if it is a 20mph limit with additional humps, chicanes etc for a 20mph zone.

She has never been to this area before, was looking after two young children, helping her single parent friend recover from an operation as she doesn't have anyone else. It's hardly doing 50mph in a 30 is it! She's never had a speeding ticket in her life. People make mistakes. Doing good things for someone in need doesn't change the basic physics of speeding. Either the signs aren't adequate, in which case she could appeal, or they are, in which case she drove down that road every day for a week without observing the signs. I'm also rather suspicious of her story. IME, whenever you obey a 30 limit, traffic stacks up behind you and often overtakes you. It's a rare driver who does 26 in a 30 zone. I suspect she realised it was a 20 zone and thought it was fine so long as she didn't go over 30.

She drove at least 14 times on the same road and didn’t notice once that it was 20 miles per hour? I don’t believe her And if she is telling the truth then I really don’t think she should be driving at all

I got my 10 year GC approved this year and now I can file for n400. Unfortunately I have not been super patient on the road and racked up 2 speeding tickets and a stop sign violation and a red light violation over the last 2 years. I have paid all of them on time.

I have no other arrests, citations or anything else. Other than traffic tickets, perfect candidate for GMC. If any of you have been through the n400 with multiple traffic tickets like this, please let me know what u did - were you questioned? did you have an attorney? etc.

List your citations on the N400. Take proof that you paid them and the disposition papers for each case. This won't be a problem.

The instructions state that you have to list all citations. That's it. They don't tell you which citations USCIS is or isn't interested in. Anyone telling you otherwise is making stuff up. There

you should have gotten receipts paying the tickets....if you lose them try to contact the court where you paid your fines. They might have something in record...

When I was younger I accumulated at least 28 points on my license due to lots of tickets, had my license suspended for about 2 years for numerous reckless driving tickets, and got more tickets while driving on a suspended license. I was naturalized at age 27 and my driving record wasn't even questioned. May be diferent for others but I think that as long as you havent commited any crimes you should be good.

I have the following tickets: 2 speeding tickets in 2014 (one through red light photo enforcement, one through being pulled over by a cop). 4 tickets (2 speeding by pulled over by a cop and 2 improper red light turn via photo enforcement) in 2013. 1 failure to stop sign ticket in 2011 (pulled over by a cop, petty misdemeanor). 1 ez pass violation and a few parking tickets (handicap parking and meter expired). 1 of the 2 tickets in 2013 caused me point other was reduced by court to no points. 1 ticket in 2011 led to license suspension due to late payment, I paid, license got reinstated the next day. I did drivers improvement course to show sort of "rehab" for my mistakes for GMC. Are these tickets “too many” or “too serious” for N400? Will I get my N400 denied? Please suggest. Thanks

Am I supposed to disclose speeding tickets? I've filled my N400 recently and didnt disclose any traffic violations, thought those weren't necessary. What should I do?

panicky me.. my main concern is the 4 tickets in a short span of 2 years wont indicate bad moral character. all of these are under 500, accident free and no intoxicants involved. jose gave me hope lol.

Driving without a license is illegal in all 50 states, isn't it?
Illegal like speeding yes, but some areas they say naughty naughty and let you drive away until your court date. Dane County, Wisconsin is one of those areas they are extremely lenient. Lots of illegals there because of it.

So if you were issued a citation, you are supposed to disclose it on the N-400.

At my interview the officials stated I did not have to list them.

There was miscommunication and he thought my 4 traffic citations were criminal citations and I had been arrested 4 times. I had brought the papers showing I paid what I needed and everything was closed. He reviewed then crossed out the entire section on the application and wrote notes that they were all not applicable.

Anyone telling you otherwise is making stuff up.

There are many cases of interviewers telling applicants that they don't care about speeding tickets, but there are just as many cases of interviewers insisting on seeing receipts before they approve an applicant. Just search this forum for them or read interview experiences.

There are also several cases of the interviewer specifically saying that traffic tickets don't matter as long as they are disclosed honestly.

If you're in doubt, follow the letter of the instructions: where it says list all citations, then list all citations and let the interviewer decide what is relevant.

What Happens If You Get Multiple Speeding Tickets?

multiple speeding tickets

If you drive often or long enough, the odds that you will eventually get a speeding ticket are high. Most of the time, a speeding ticket is just an expensive reminder to slow down and pay attention to the posted speed limit. If you are issued multiple speeding tickets in a relatively short period, however, the consequences could be much more serious. To make sure you understand what those consequences are, a Chicago traffic law attorney explains what happens if you get multiple tickets.  

How Many Speeding Tickets Can I Get in a Year?

In the State of Illinois, your driving privileges can be suspended for multiple speeding violations . An adult motorist who is convicted for three moving violations (including speeding) within 12 months will have his/her license suspended by the Illinois Secretary of State. The suspension is not a discretionary suspension that is determined by a judge. Instead, it is a mandatory suspension that kicks in automatically upon notification of the third conviction. You could also have your license suspended for getting two speeding tickets in one year if you are also convicted of a third moving violation that is for something other than speeding as well. Rules for those under the age of 21 are different.

How Long Will My License Be Suspended?

The length of your suspension will depend on the number of “points” you have on your license. When you are convicted of speeding, points are assigned against your license depending on the category:

  • 1 to 10 mph over the limit 
  • 11 to 14 mph over the limit 
  • 15 to 25 mph over the limit 
  • Greater than 25 mph over the limit 

The higher the points you have, the longer the suspension. For example, a certain point value will result in a two-month suspension if your license has not been suspended or revoked in the past seven years. With a previous suspension, however, you may be facing a four-month suspension or longer.

Are You Under Age 21?

If you are under 21, those same speeding tickets could do even more harm to your ability to drive because the State of Illinois holds younger drivers to higher standards. For a driver under 21, just two moving violations (including speeding) within 24 months will lead to an automatic suspension of your driving privileges.

Are You Under Supervision?

Supervision is an alternative sentencing option that is often available when a motorist receives a speeding ticket. In essence, the court puts the driver under court supervision for a period of months, during which time the driver cannot get in any additional trouble — including traffic violations . If you successfully complete the period of supervision, the original charge or ticket avoids a conviction. If you are currently completing a period of court-ordered supervision for a speeding ticket and you get convicted for another speeding violation, the supervision will likely be revoked. You may then be convicted of both the original speeding ticket and the new one. This could lead to an automatic suspension of your driving privileges if you have another conviction within the previous year or if you are a younger driver.

Contact a Chicago Traffic Law Attorney Today

If you were recently issued a speeding ticket in Chicago, consult with an experienced traffic law attorney to ensure that your driving privileges are not in jeopardy.

Speeding Tickets: What You Need To Know

closeup of the blue lights on a police car in the dark.

Driving too fast is not smart ... and it can be expensive.

Driving at unsafe speeds is, obviously, unsafe... It's unsafe for you, but more importantly it's not fair to put other motorists at risk. Furthermore, besides the fact that speeding can lead to fatalities, it can also put a dent in your wallet.

By The Editors

Mon, Oct 4, 2021 12:05 PM PST

It's difficult to determine the average cost of a speeding fine because some states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming have penalties based on the number of mph over the speed limit. However, the majority of states have a fine of about $150 for speeding - excluding additional costs and court fees.

Bottom line: If you like to cruise at high speeds where you shouldn't, you might want to break that bad habit. Besides the fact that speeding can lead to fatalities, it can also put a dent in your wallet (pun intended).

Continue reading this post to learn various ways a speeding ticket can affect you. 

Cost of a Speeding Ticket

The words ticket and citation are often used interchangeably as they are essentially the same thing - a written record of an error / traffic violation you committed in the course of travel. Based on the latest data from 2021 for state speeding fines, the median cost of an offense for speeding is $150. The average increase in full coverage insurance amounts to $355.

Moreover, the cost of a speeding ticket can be based on several factors, as listed below:

Speed: It can significantly affect the cost of the speeding ticket, leading to the issuance of criminal charges, license suspensions, or even jail time.

State: Where you reside also matters. States such as Nevada have a far stricter penalty for driving than other states.

Type of zone: If you're caught speeding in a high-risk zone - such as an office/residential, school, or construction zone - you could be facing a much greater penalty than you would on a bigger road. You would also greatly be increasing the risk of something going very wrong.

Level of severity: If a cop observes infractions other than speeding - like drunk or reckless driving - the consequences of your ticket for speeding are likely to be more severe.

Driver record: If you've had a history of speeding or other moving violations, you may receive a much more severe penalty in comparison to first-time offenders.

Speeding Ticket: Felony or Misdemeanor?

The way a speeding ticket is issued depends on a wide range of aspects. Based on the jurisdiction you reside in, your speeding offense could be classified as an infraction misdemeanor or a felony. However, the majority of speeding tickets are viewed as a common infraction or violation and come with no criminal consequences. It could result from speeding or other minor violations - such as not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, not yielding correctly, using inappropriate lighting, or not wearing your seatbelt.

Traffic Court vs. Criminal Court

There's a distinct difference in the way that violations are handled in the courtroom. In general, less serious offenses are resolved in traffic court, and more serious offenses are handled in criminal courts. This varies depending on the local and state jurisdiction.

Multiple Wrongdoings -> Compounding Problems

Drivers whose record has multiple speeding tickets - or other violations - are likely to incur more serious consequences than those who have an impeccable driving record. If there's property damage, injuries, or fatalities, you're likely to be subject to harsher penalties than a case with no such outcomes. In addition, some states consider it reckless driving if you're over the limit by a certain amount. Scenarios with a combination of speeds deemed reckles, a poor driving record, and property damage or injuries will most probably result in the driver facing significant problems, the cost of the ticket being only one of them.

Speeding In School Zones - Just Don't

If you speed through a school-zone you will probably be subject to severe penalties - courtesy the police - and the wrath of parents . Even if the cops didn't see you, parents dropping off their kids did - and being labeled a reckless driver by your community can be just as problematic as a traffic violation.

Speeding Ticket And Insurance Costs

There's no doubt that speeding has an impact on your auto insurance premiums. The average annual cost of car insurance is around $1,674, nationally. Your rates, regardless if you're currently above or below the average, will increase if you get a ticket - expect an increase of more than $355 on your annual premium. Interestingly, Louisiana motorists - who already face the highest insurance rates with an average cost of coverage at $2,724/car annually - can expect an average increase of $793 of their insurance premiums after getting just one ticket for speeding. Ouch!

Some states allow you to clear a moving violation by taking a traffic school class, which is basically a refresher course on driving laws and rules of the road. The benefits of such a course vary from state to state but, here in California, you are still required to pay the total fine associated with your violation, plus a court processing fee to allow you to take traffic school, plus the traffic school fee itself. Traffic school courses range from $15 to around $30. So, while taking such a class may keep the violation point from going on your driving record, getting a traffic ticket is still a very expensive experience.

I Got A Speeding Ticket - Now What?

Adjusting your driving speed helps in steering clear of a ticket. However, if you do get a speeding ticket in California, you'll want to figure out your next steps . Using the information mentioned above will be a good start, but you might need more - custom - assistance.

By driving safely and legally you can avoid several hassles - not only the inherent hassle of being pulled over and fined. Remember that a traffic ticket is what we have in place to help keep our roads as safe as possible - reminding and gently nudging us towards safe driving behavior. A ticket can be paid and a driving record repaired (with time), but there is one consequnce that can not be undone or fixed... A driver who accidentally causes a fatality - regardless if they were speeding or not - will live the rest of their days with the burden of taking a life. This, by far, will be the absolute biggest impact on the driver. Keep that in mind, and stay safe!

The American Addiction to Speeding

How we became obsessed with driving fast, no matter the cost..

One Tuesday morning this fall, I strapped on a Kevlar vest and slid into the passenger seat of a gray Ford Interceptor sedan , the souped-up Taurus that replaced the Crown Vic as America’s default police car a decade ago.* (And has since been replaced itself: Ford no longer produces police cars, only SUVs and pickups .) This model has several features that are not available for civilian use, including a siren on the roof and a V6 Mustang engine under the hood.

That came in handy when Kevin Roberts, a talkative, thoughtful third-year cop, steered us onto Connecticut’s Interstate 84 for the day shift. We were heading toward Waterbury, whose interlocking expressways are his to patrol. Roberts was in the left lane going 80, and I had the uncanny experience of surveying the highway from his point of view. How many times have I been on the other side—overtaking some slowpoke, 12 over the limit, only to see a rack of siren lights in the rearview mirror and ask myself: How slowly can I complete this pass?

Roberts and I were waiting for that moment of panicked recognition. He knows people resent that the police are always speeding, but he says it’s the only way to do the job. You can’t drive the speed limit or below, because no one wants to pass a cop. The highway’s self-organizing system would disintegrate and traffic would slow to molasses. “Everyone’s at 10 and 2,” he said as we made our way past another stone-faced commuter. It’s the morning rush, and drivers are on their best behavior. “You’ve got to wait for people to spread their wings.”

Roberts is not out to ticket every last speeder, because that would be impossible. “We know not everyone is going to go 55, 65, we’re realistic,” he said. “Not everyone is going to go the speed limit.” When he’s not responding to an accident or a crime, he sees his role as corrective. Sometimes that means loop after loop on the city’s highway landmarks, the Mountain (a steep slope to the east) and the Mixmaster (a decked highway near the city), without stopping to set a trap at all.

But sometimes that means making good on the threat that’s implicit in all that driving. Roberts rolled into the grass alongside an on-ramp, hidden from oncoming traffic by a sign and a bend in the road. He pulled out a TruSpeed S, a top-of-the-line laser gun that permits him to gauge the speed of passing cars from any angle.* We sat there for about 30 seconds before he clocked a blue Buick doing 90, and then we were off, racing down the highway until we were right behind the car in question.

Speeding is a national health problem and a big reason why this country is increasingly an outlier on traffic safety in the developed world. More than 1 in 4 fatal crashes in the United States involve at least one speeding driver, making speeding a factor in nearly 10,000 deaths each year , in addition to an unknowable number of injuries. Thousands of car crash victims are on foot, and speed is an even more crucial determinant of whether they live or die: The odds of a pedestrian being killed in a collision rise from 10 percent at 23 mph to 75 percent at 50 mph. And we’re now in a moment of particular urgency. Last year, when the pandemic shutdowns lowered total miles traveled by 13 percent, the per-mile death rate rose by 24 percent—the greatest increase in a century , thanks to drivers hitting high velocities on empty roads. “COVID,” Roberts said, “was midnight on the day shift.”

In the first six months of 2021, projected traffic fatalities in the U.S. rose by 18 percent , the largest increase since the U.S. Department of Transportation started counting and double the rate of the previous year’s surge. “We cannot and should not accept these fatalities as simply a part of everyday life in America,” said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in a press release.

But we do. Such carnage has not prompted a societal response akin to the movement elicited by drunk driving in the 1980s. Part of the reason is that Americans love driving fast and have confidence in their own abilities. About half admit to going more than 15 over the limit in the past month. Meanwhile, drivers do generally regard their peers’ speeding as a threat to their own safety, and so we have wound up with the worst of both worlds: Thousands of speed-related deaths on the one hand, and on the other, a system of enforcement that is both ineffective and inescapable.

What I was about to do with Trooper Roberts on that fall morning—chase down a driver on the highway, pull over the car, and issue a ticket—is the No. 1 way Americans interact with police and serves as the start of 1 in 3 police shootings. But it doesn’t stop Americans from speeding.

The nation’s most disobeyed law is dysfunctional from top to bottom. The speed limit is alternately too low on interstate highways, giving police discretion to make stops at will, and too high on local roads, creating carnage on neighborhood streets. Enforcement is both inadequate and punitive. The cost is enormous. And the lack of political will to do something about it tracks with George Carlin’s famous observation that everybody going faster than you is a maniac and everybody going slower than you is an idiot. The consensus is: Enforce the speed limit. But not on me, please. Because while it would be nice to save 10,000 lives a year, it sure is fun to drive fast.

It is as strange as cigarettes on airplanes or dating ads in newspapers to think that between 1974 and 1995, the United States maintained a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour in the name of saving lives. It was one of those moments, like the end of the Concorde’s supersonic passenger jet service or the collapse of the Arecibo Telescope, when technology lurched backward.

The 50-state slowdown known as the “double nickel” began in 1973, with President Richard Nixon’s appeal for collective sacrifice. In retaliation for America’s support of Israel in the Yom Kippur War, the coalition of Middle Eastern states known as OPEC decided that fall to stop selling oil to the United States. Prices quadrupled. The president wanted Americans to change their ways: He asked gas stations to close on Sundays and businesses to turn off lighted advertisements. Mayors and department stores dimmed Christmas bulbs nationwide. Daylight saving time went year-round in an effort to use less electric light. Thanks to the lowered thermostat, women were permitted to wear pants in the White House.

And Nixon prompted Congress to implement a national speed limit, for the first time since the Second World War. Then it was to conserve rubber; now, the White House hoped, slower and more fuel-efficient driving would save gasoline.

The lower speed limit did not, in the end, have a significant effect on gas consumption. But the law was retained until the Clinton administration because it appeared to have another welcome consequence: saving lives. In the first six months of 1974, highway deaths fell by 23 percent—a decline widely attributed to the national speed limit. At the urging of the U.S. Transportation Secretary Claude Brinegar, Congress made the 55 mph speed limit permanent.

Two decades of culture war ensued, as rural Americans and Republicans turned against the very idea of oil conservation, represented by those double-nickel interstate signs. “To understand the Reagan Democrats, look no further than the fifty-five mile-an-hour speed limit,” writes Dan Albert in the automotive history Are We There Yet? Kansas Sen. Bob Dole spoke up for those who lived in the America of wide-open spaces, defending high-speed driving; Ronald Reagan promised speed limit repeal in his 1980 campaign. A half-dozen states in the Mountain West replaced speeding tickets with $5 “energy wastage” fines. Sammy Hagar sang “I Can’t Drive 55,” and Tara Buckman, in the opening scene of the 1981 blockbuster The Cannonball Run , leapt from a Lamborghini in a spandex jumpsuit to spray-paint a red X across the 55 mph sign—before fleeing from the highway patrol.

Brock Yates, a Car and Driver editor who drove the first Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash in 1971, became the law’s foremost public intellectual opponent. His son, Brock Yates Jr., recalled that his father called the law’s supporters “Safety Nazis,” “because they were convinced that speed kills.” Yates Jr. is a driving instructor who, as a 14-year-old, manned the CB radio on that first coast-to-coast sprint. “Most people, without a speed limit, run out of skill and courage at 75 or 80,” he said. “An argument can be made that speed kills. But it’s really the stopping that kills, not the going.”

Calculating the benefit of something so many people want to do against the cost of thousands of deaths can feel a little grotesque. But economists do the cost-benefit analysis nevertheless, and the results for the 55 mph speed limit were soundly in favor of letting people drive faster if you assigned even a fractional wage value to all the wasted, 55-mph highway hours. In short, at higher speeds, many people died, but many more got to work on time.

The Newt Gingrich–led House voted to repeal the federal speed limit in 1995. The issue wasn’t split along party lines. Democrat Nick Rahall II of West Virginia warned that the bill “would turn our nation’s highways into killing fields.” In the Senate, Virginia’s Republican Sen. John Warner protested that “there are some issues in America that override states’ rights,” the national speed limit among them. Ohio GOP Sen. Mike DeWine said simply, “If we raise the speed limit, people will die.” Automotive watchdog Ralph Nader told President Bill Clinton he ought to “express his apologies to the thousands of people—children, women, and men—who will soon lose their lives or be permanently disabled.”

But that did not come to pass. The number of annual auto deaths dropped below 44,000 in 1990 and has not passed that number since; instead, it fell to a 40-year low in 2014, despite enormous growth in the number of cars on the road. Every state has raised the speed limit over the past few decades, with parts of Texas now topping out at 80 mph.

It turns out that calculating the relationship between the speed limit and road safety is surprisingly complicated. In the years since the national speed limit was repealed, both supporters and opponents of speed limits have managed to marshal ample evidence to make their case. On the pro-limit side: In 1984, the National Academy of Sciences reported to Congress that the national speed limit saved 4,000 lives and prevented 3,500 severe injuries and 50,000 minor injuries each year. A study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety concludes that subsequent increases in speed limits over two decades have cost 33,000 American lives. Annual auto deaths kept falling after repeal, they argue, thanks to unrelated improvements in car safety.

Other researchers have disputed these conclusions. One 1994 survey, for example, looked at crash data since 1987, when many states were permitted to raise speed limits to 65 in rural areas, in a series of carve-outs to the 1974 law, and concluded that the speed limit increase had reduced fatalities by as much as 5 percent, possibly because it encouraged drivers to use the safer, faster interstates and permitted police to redirect their efforts toward more dangerous two-lane roads. Others have surmised that it is less speeding than the difference of speeds that causes accidents, and higher speed limits encourage everyone to drive in a more self-similar fashion, since law abiders accelerate to meet the speed that lawbreakers drive anyway.

Ezra Hauer, a civil engineer and authority on road safety who taught at the University of Toronto, summarized the conflicting data like this: It is hard to prove that crashes are more common when speeds go up. But they are certainly more severe. “It’s pretty well-accepted that speed is positively related to injury,” he said. “You have to decelerate from a certain speed, your internal organs decelerate, collide with your rib cage, your brain collides with your skull. If you increase the average speed by 1 percent, you increase the number of fatalities by 3–4 percent.”

Members of the higher speed limit lobby often point out that raising limits does not necessarily raise speeds. Boosting the speed limit may merely bring the law in line with the observed roadway speed. “When I look at correcting a speed limit, I am not advocating driving faster, and that’s the hard part to get over,” Lt. Gary Megge of the Michigan State Police told a reporter a few years ago.

It is not an exaggeration to say that police power in the United States is built around the unique conditions created by car culture, in which virtually everyone is breaking the law all the time—with occasionally severe consequences. In her book Policing the Open Road , the legal scholar Sarah Seo points out that mass car ownership prompted a wholesale reinterpretation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects us against search and seizure. Or it did, until we all started driving everywhere.

Police often abuse this authority to perform “pretextual stops” hoping to find guns or drugs, knowing that trivial traffic violations give them the power to search citizens at will. Officers have at times undertaken this constitutional sleight of hand with explicit federal endorsement, deputized as foot soldiers in the war on drugs. In one of the most notorious examples, police in Arizona used traffic stops to enforce federal immigration law.

For Black drivers, pretextual traffic stops—per Jay-Z, “ doing 55 in a 54 ”—are a routine occurrence and the foremost symbol of racial profiling in this country. For many police departments, these violations are used to fill government coffers and prompt devastating cycles of fines, debt, suspended driver’s licenses, and jail time. Black drivers are 20 percent more likely to be stopped, according to a study last year , and almost twice as likely to be searched.

Most harmless speeding, the type that most people feel is natural to keep up with the flow of traffic, happens on limited-access highways (roads with merge lanes, exits, and no roadside commerce). That’s where the power of the National Maximum Speed Limit was felt. That’s where the share of drivers going over the speed limit is highest. That’s where the anti–speed limit advocates get their data. But that’s not where most accidents happen. Despite the high speeds, the Interstate Highway System is more than twice as safe per mile as almost any other type of road.

For those reasons, the dichotomy between “speeding” and “not speeding” is not very instructive. The consequences of high speeds vary greatly based on context, in ways that may have little to do with posted speed limits or fines. Go a few miles over the speed limit, and you may still be one of the slower drivers on the road. Go 20 over, and your risk rises exponentially . Speed on a highway and the person you most put at risk is yourself. Speed in a residential neighborhood and you threaten a whole community, from the people on the street to the buildings around them.

Given all this, speeding enforcement could use a tighter focus. Relatively few motorists drive at what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration calls “extreme speeds” of more than 20 mph over the limit. In the District of Columbia, it was just 6 percent of speeders in 2019 . (One of them was going 132 mph in a 50 mph zone.) For a police-based enforcement system to be able to find and stop those drivers would be remarkably good luck. But those are exactly the drivers most likely to hurt themselves or others in a crash.

Enter automated traffic enforcement, or speed cameras, which can reduce encounters between citizens and the police, target extreme speeders, and discourage bad driving. Unlike drunk and distracted driving—the two other great causes of death on the road—speeding can be easily patrolled by machine.

In Europe, speed cameras are ubiquitous and so familiar that “radar” is a readily available Halloween costume for French children. In France and other European countries, it’s almost unheard of to be pulled over by a flashing-lights police cruiser going 85 mph. Instead, roads are lined with radar-enabled cameras that distribute tickets by mail. Speed cameras are a part of the reason Europe’s roads are now much safer than America’s; a 2010 literature review found crashes resulting in death or serious injury fell between 17 and 58 percent where cameras were installed . And because speeding is more rigorously enforced, penalties are smaller than in the United States, where a speeding ticket can set you back hundreds of dollars.

The world’s most developed speed camera network is in New York City. A pilot of 140 cameras installed around city schools in 2014 reduced speeding during school hours by 63 percent and injuries by 14 percent. After an expansion in 2019 to 750 schools, the cameras—which operate between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.—reduced speeding on average by 72 percent. Crashes near cameras fell too. The cameras only issue tickets to drivers going more than 10 mph over the speed limit.

Brad Lander, New York City’s comptroller-elect, has proposed using this information to target repeat offenders for remedial driving courses or vehicle seizure. Conventional speeding tickets are a pretty lousy data set, since your odds of getting caught are so low. Not so with the information from speed cameras. Unlike on the highway, here it’s meaningful that 59 percent of drivers who get a ticket never get another one, and another 18 percent receive just one more. Small fines and changed behavior: The city’s speed camera program is a model.

Except that it has little power over the worst drivers, who can be easily identified by their repeat violations. Lander’s bill would require drivers to take a course once they accrue more than 15 school zone speeding tickets in a 12-month period. That sounds like a higher number than it is. The driver who lost control in Brooklyn in September, killing a 3-month-old baby, had received 91 camera-issued speeding tickets —including 15 speeding fines in July and August alone.

Some civil rights advocates oppose automated enforcement on the grounds that even race-blind cameras are used to scale up America’s traditions of revenue-driven and racist policing. In D.C., for example, researchers found that drivers in segregated Black neighborhoods received 17 times as many camera tickets per capita as their counterparts in white neighborhoods. Black Washingtonians are indeed more likely to live near high-speed arterials where drivers (including white suburbanites) go very fast, but the disparity suggests the cameras aren’t improving driver safety so much as raising money. America’s one-size-fits-all fine structure is also inherently regressive compared with Finland, where speeding tickets are famously adjusted to match the driver’s income .

Still, the prospect of a well-run speed camera program is enticing for city residents who have watched their neighbors die in both collisions with speeding cars and encounters with police. As the activist Darrell Owens, who successfully pushed Berkeley, California, to remove the police role in traffic enforcement , put it recently, “No one’s ever been shot by a traffic camera.”

“Most people support cameras,” said Kelcie Ralph, who studies speeding at Rutgers and recently completed a national survey on the subject, to be published next year. “There’s a very vocal minority of opposition, and they are very vigilant and show up at meetings. But most people recognize this is a problem and want the government to take action.” The problems with camera programs, she added, could be fixed by designing better systems and directing revenue into nearby infrastructure like sidewalks and curb cuts.

For the moment, though, those squeaky wheels have convinced powerful legislators that speed cameras are some kind of constitutional violation, more invasive than the nation’s existing network of toll cameras and a greater abuse of police power than random highway detentions. What these people really object to is being caught. In the 2021 GOP debate for New York City mayor, eventual Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa said the No. 1 issue facing New Yorkers was not COVID-19, climate change, high rents, or the tax base—but “needless speed cameras.” His opponent agreed. Eight states have banned the use of speed cameras entirely. The prospect of cameras displacing the discretion of state police is, for the moment, implausible.

Speed cameras and speed traps have something in common: They both rely on the wisdom of speed limits, which are not very wise. The conventional wisdom in the field of traffic engineering is that the speed limit should be set according to the 85 th percentile rule—at the speed of the 15 th -fastest of 100 drivers on the road. City transportation officials do not like this method: The fastest 15 percent of drivers, they argue, are not always the most rational appraisers of what constitutes a safe speed. Nor should drivers’ interests determine the character of a street for its other users. In an essay in the Harvard Law Review, Greg Shill and Sara Bronin write , “The 85th Percentile Rule is perhaps unique in American law in empowering lawbreakers to activate a rewrite of the law to legalize their own unlawful conduct.”

But the 85 th percentile rule contains a fundamental truth: Drivers respond to the road they are given. Engineers use this rule to foster a cycle of wider, clearer roads and higher speeds. But the same logic could be employed in the opposite direction, too, in places where drivers and pedestrians interact.

There are three basic changes we could make to America’s roads, cars, and drivers to address speeding at its root. First, we could design roads to keep drivers at safe speeds. In rural areas, that means replacing intersections with roundabouts—a change associated with cutting crash rates by more than 50 percent . In cities, that means narrowing streets and intersections , building out curbs and speed bumps, and changing pavements to materials like paving stones that slow drivers down.

“We’re at the point where the things we have to do may be uncomfortable for people,” said Zabe Bent, the director of design at the National Association of City Transportation Officials. But, she added, many of the city arterials where thousands of pedestrians are killed each year are not in control of local residents and their elected officials, but are instead run by state DOTs. University Avenue in South Florida, Moreland Avenue in Atlanta, Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco: These are just a few roads where local politicians are powerless to change speed limits or roadway designs.

Second, we could do a better job training drivers. American teenagers are by far the most dangerous group of people on the road , with 16- and-17-year-olds more than three times likelier to get into a fatal crash than adults in their 30s or 40s. After 80, drivers again become more dangerous to people around them. “Since we’ve put the onus on the speed limit and the cars, we’ve forgotten the drivers as the most important part,” said Yates, the driving instructor and Cannonball alumnus. “We’ve gotten away from teaching skills—requiring you learn something about the 4,000-pound missile you’re driving.”

Third, we could intervene in the architecture of vehicles themselves. The U.S. auto industry killed the possibility of “speed governors” in cars in the 1920s. Do those arguments hold for self-driving cars as well? Recent technology allows auto regulators to make finer-grain interventions as well, such as intelligent speed assistance, a modest version of which will soon be installed on all vehicles sold in the European Union. When activated, ISA would create resistance under the accelerator when a car surpasses the speed limit.

It’s no surprise that speed limits are being introduced into cars in Europe first; the continent’s anti-speeding movement is gaining ground. At the national level, it’s being driven by green parties’ concerns that how high speeds are bad for gas mileage and emissions. At the local level, city governments are trying to protect pedestrians and bicyclists. Europe has lower speed limits in cities and speed cameras on highways, and those changes have been coupled with rigorous driver education and better street design. In the U.S., meanwhile, we have been reluctant to address any of the root causes of unsafe speeds, preferring instead to play with signage and enforcement.

Like many police, Trooper Kevin Roberts thinks speeding enforcement works, in the sense that it slows down traffic at large. Some experts I spoke to dispute this notion, but I can see why you would think it were so if you drove a police car all day. As a philosophical matter, it does not bother him to be charged with enforcing a law that no one obeys. That’s in part because he knows the speed limit is a coded behavioral guide whose real message, “Don’t go more than 10 mph above this speed,” is widely heeded. It is the legal equivalent of inviting your friends to dinner at 7:30 and knowing the whole party would be there by 8.

But the other thing Roberts said was that there was nothing unusual at all about the speed limit, insofar as it gave the police almost total power to stop and fine drivers at will. “Everything’s illegal,” he said as we watched a line of cars turn in front of us—one, two, three, four. “No front plate. License plate cover. Tinted windows. Following too close. I’m not going to pull over 300 cars. That’s not what people want.” In short, the discretionary power of police is so vast that speeding isn’t so exceptional after all. Except that unlike all those other technicalities, it’s deadly.

After he gave out a ticket, Roberts let me try the speed gun. It resembled binoculars on its outer side, narrowing into one lens for my eye. Using a red target in the lens, I followed a car on the road as the machine emitted a faintly mechanical buzz before concluding with a beep: 56 mph. Beep: 62 mph. Beep: 60 mph. I wondered if I was doing this wrong. And then I remembered: I was in a highly visible police car on the side of the road. Everyone had already slowed down, likely for the first and last time on their morning drive.

Roberts instructed me to look back toward the bend where drivers first saw us. You could actually watch the front of the cars sink as traffic decelerated. Cops call that “dropping the anchor.” It’s a familiar experience for police now that drivers share troopers’ locations on Waze, quashing the element of surprise. Some cops are on Waze too, and they’ll remove themselves. But in some ways, their work is done here. It dawned on me that you could probably get everyone to drive the limit by sticking an empty cop car at various strategic points along the road. No trooper necessary.

A big cold front was moving in, bringing thunderstorms. “It’s going to get messy,” Roberts said. He dropped me off at the barracks, where I got into my own car and headed west on I-84 as the rain began to come down. I didn’t get far before traffic slowed to a crawl. A tow truck passed on the shoulder. After 20 minutes of stopping and starting, I reached the choke point: Three mangled cars on the side of the road, two drivers on the scene, one in an ambulance somewhere ahead.

Navigating Speed Traps: A Guide to Overcoming Traffic Fines

Greetings, road warriors! Have you ever been cruising down the open road only to be caught off guard by one of those pesky speed traps? It’s a situation many of us know all too well. As the blues and reds of a patrol car flash in your rear-view mirror, a sinking feeling washes over you. Speed traps are the silent guardians of our roadways, often catching drivers unawares and leaving them saddled with unexpected traffic fines. But don’t worry! This comprehensive guide will equip you with crucial knowledge about speed traps, traffic fines, and how you can effectively manage and possibly avoid them.

Speed Traps: What are they?

Table of Contents

Let’s start by unraveling the mystery of speed traps. Speed traps are areas where law enforcement officials or municipal speed cameras consistently monitor drivers’ speeds. They’re often strategically positioned in areas where the speed limit changes abruptly or where it may not be immediately obvious. Exceeding the speed limit in these designated zones can lead to a hefty speeding ticket. In order to steer clear of them, it’s vital to maintain an eye on your speedometer, especially in unfamiliar locales.

Traffic Fine Checker: The Smart Way to Stay Informed

In today’s digital world, you don’t have to be caught off guard by traffic fines. There’s a handy tool called a traffic fine checker that can serve as your virtual assistant. It’s an online tool designed to help you verify any outstanding traffic fines, speeding ticket prices, and even e-traffic fines. All you need to do is input your citation number, and it will pull up all the relevant details of your ticket. This not only keeps you informed but also helps you avoid the pain of late payment surcharges. Keep in mind, it’s best to verify fines on the official local government websites for accuracy and security. (Link: Local Government Websites )

Speeding might be the most common reason drivers get ticketed, but it’s far from the only one. There are numerous traffic violations, such as improper passing or making an improper left turn, which can earn you a ticket. These traffic offenses might seem minor, but they can sometimes result in steeper fines than speeding. Detailed knowledge of local traffic rules can be a powerful tool in your quest to maintain a clean driving record.

The True Cost of Speeding: Is the Price Worth the Time Saved?

Speeding might get you to your destination faster, but at what cost? Speeding ticket prices can vary greatly, depending on factors such as the extent of the speed limit you exceeded and the jurisdiction in which the violation occurred. In some areas, fines are fixed, while in others, a sliding scale based on your speed is used. Some jurisdictions further increase fines in designated zones such as school areas or construction zones. So, think twice before you decide to step hard on the gas pedal; it could end up costing you a lot more than just a few extra minutes.

Two Strikes and You’re… Out? The Implications of Receiving Two Speeding Tickets in a Year

Getting caught speeding once might be an honest mistake. But what happens when you receive two speeding tickets in a year? Multiple speeding tickets can lead to a lot more than just fines. You might see your insurance premiums skyrocket, be hit with additional penalty charges, or worse, have your license suspended. The stakes can get even higher if you’re found guilty of other traffic offenses like improper passing or turning.

Can You Clear Your Name? Understanding the Impact of a Dismissed Ticket

If you manage to have a ticket dismissed, does it leave a lasting mark on your record? Fortunately, a dismissed ticket typically doesn’t show up on your public driving record. While it may still linger in court or police records, a dismissal usually means it won’t affect your insurance rates or result in other penalties. But remember, the best way to have a clean record is to avoid getting a ticket in the first place!

Ticket Removal: Can It Be Done?

Sometimes, it’s possible to have a ticket removed from your record altogether. Methods for ticket removal can include completing a defensive driving course or successfully contesting the ticket in court. Keep in mind that the process can be complex and varies greatly depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the offense. Do your research, understand your options, and make the decision that’s best for you.

In the Courtroom: When to Seek Help from Traffic Offense Lawyers

If you’re facing serious charges or feel you’ve been unjustly fined, it might be time to call in the professionals – traffic offense lawyers. These legal experts can guide you through the complexities of traffic laws, helping you understand your rights and the best course of action. They can negotiate on your behalf, potentially getting your ticket dismissed or reducing the severity of the penalties.

Navigating the world of traffic fines can seem like a daunting journey. However, by staying informed and vigilant, you can dodge the speed traps and hefty fines that lurk along the highways. Remember, the best way to avoid a ticket is by obeying all traffic laws and respecting the speed limit. After all, as the saying goes, it’s better to arrive late than never!

Keep on cruising, and stay safe on the roads!

Do Speeding Tickets Affect Insurance? Everything You Need to Know

Do speeding tickets affect insurance? Typically, the answer is yes. Your premium rates will increase because of the higher crash risk associated with speeding.

businessman driving a car

Insurers check their customers' driving records regularly to calculate current accident risk and adjust coverage costs accordingly. However, some insurance companies might forgive your first speeding ticket if you otherwise have a good driving record. In addition, speeding tickets you receive from a radar camera rarely affect rates, as most insurers consider these tickets non-moving violations.

The Impact of Risk

Progressive notes that even if you get a speeding ticket in a different state , the news will likely get back to your insurance company. Forty-five states have signed the Driver License Compact agreeing to share information with motor vehicle departments in other states. However, even non-member states share this type of information. When you receive a license suspension in one state, for example, you also lose your driving privileges in your state of residence. Whether you receive points on your record after a speeding ticket in another state depends on the laws where you live.

The Amount of Your Rate Increase

WalletHub reports that the cost increase for a driver who receives a speeding citation depends on:

  • The insurance company
  • Where the driver received the ticket
  • The number of miles per hour the driver was traveling over the posted speed limit
  • Whether the driver has a history of other moving violations and the time passed since these tickets

According to Insurance.com, your annual premium will increase by an average of $427 or 30 percent after a ticket for speeding 30 or more mph over the limit. The increase is about $317 or 22 percent for speeding 16 to 29 mph over the limit and $288 or 20 percent for speeding by 1 to 15 mph.

The company reports these average annual rate increases by company after a speeding ticket for driving 16 to 29 miles over the limit:

  • Allstate: $2239
  • GEICO: $1449
  • Farmers Insurance: $2146
  • Nationwide: $1900
  • Progressive: $1916
  • State Farm: $1807

Rate Increases for Other Moving Violations

Other average annual increases related to moving violations include:

  • $284 or 20 percent for following another driver too closely
  • $293 or 20 percent for passing another driver illegally or improperly
  • $320 or 22 percent for a distracted driving ticket
  • $344 or 23 percent after a ticket for texting and driving
  • $372 or 26 percent for careless driving
  • $1046 or 73 percent for reckless driving
  • $1131 or 79 percent for a driving under the influence arrest with no prior offenses
  • $281 or 20 percent for making an improper turn or failing to yield
  • $272 or 19 percent for failing to stop
  • $224 or 16 percent for talking on a phone while driving
  • $178 or 12 percent for driving without a permit or license
  • $143 or 10 percent for driving without legal insurance
  • $47 or 3 percent for driving without a seatbelt on

In addition to these surcharges, you might lose eligibility for your safe driving discount if applicable.

The Duration of the Rate Increase

Insurance.com notes that the time your rates will remain raised varies depending on the "look-back" period in your state and used by your insurance company. Generally, the increase remains on the policy for at least three years after a speeding ticket, dating either from the day you were convicted of speeding or the day you received the ticket.

A longer look-back period often applies to serious violations such as driving under the influence. For example, you cannot receive a good driving discount in California for a full decade after you get a DUI ticket. Your insurance company can also decide to drop your coverage after a serious violation.

Drivers who receive multiple traffic tickets and/or make multiple collision claims in a short period might have difficulty finding traditional auto insurance coverage. In this case, you need to look into your state's plan for high-risk drivers. Generally, this type of plan allows you to get legal auto coverage but at a higher rate than you would pay through a private insurer. Some states refer to this type of insurance as an assigned risk plan.

Strategies to Reduce Insurance Cost

Many insurance companies will lower your rate if you take a defensive driving class. In some states, this step can remove points from your motor vehicle record. Although the discount will be less than the speeding surcharge, you won't pay as much for auto insurance as you would without the savings.

Allstate notes that modifying your coverage can reduce the amount you pay for auto insurance. For example, you might want to remove comprehensive and collision coverage and carry only state-required liability based on your needs.

Insurance.com suggests increasing your deductible from $200 to $500 to save up to 30 percent on your auto insurance costs, according to data from the Insurance Information Institute. The deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket if you file a claim after an accident.

Driving safely and avoiding excessive speed and other bad driving habits can help bring down your insurance costs. Future tickets can increase your insurance costs exponentially, so now is the time to be as careful as possible behind the wheel. Shopping around for rates from different auto insurance companies can also help you save on coverage after you get an expensive ticket or moving violation.

How To Avoid Speeding Tickets

RyanJLane / Getty Images

Getting a speeding ticket is a headache. You can always just pay it, but sometimes, it makes more sense to go to court to seek a dismissal or a reduced fine. To make matters worse, your insurance company will know you got a speeding ticket and may increase your car insurance rate as a result.

Speeding tickets can remain on your driving record for years. A single, relatively minor speeding infraction can lead to a rate increase of 30% or more, depending on your insurer and where you got the ticket. That’s why it’s important to understand the consequences of getting a speeding ticket before you ever get one.

Key Takeaways

  • A speeding ticket can lead to an auto insurance rate increase.
  • Speeding tickets can stay on your driving record for three to five years.
  • Insurance companies often review a customer’s driving record when renewing a policy.
  • You can take steps to decrease your insurance premium after getting a speeding ticket.

Insurance companies consider drivers higher risk when they get speeding tickets because they consider them more likely to have a traffic accident. To mitigate the risk, insurers often increase your car insurance premium when they discover speeding infractions. The more speeding tickets you get, the more likely your rate will increase.

Point Systems

Some states use point systems to track their residents’ driving history. If you get a speeding ticket, the system will apply a certain number of points, which remain on your driving record for several years. New drivers start with no points on their record. Minor infractions incur few points, but major violations can earn you a higher number of points as a penalty.

For example, according to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, motorists in the Volunteer State rack up the following points when caught speeding:

  • 1 point when exceeding the speed limit by up to 5 miles per hour (mph)
  • 4 points when exceeding the speed limit by between 16 and 25 mph
  • 8 points when exceeding the speed limit by 46 mph or more

When you apply for auto insurance, the carrier will check your driving record. Usually, drivers with few or no points on their driving record pay lower rates than those with histories of accidents and speeding tickets.

How Often Do Insurers Check Your Driving Record?

Even if you buy a car insurance policy with a clean driving record, your rates can still increase if you get traffic tickets later. A provider will always check your driving record when you apply for new coverage. They also check driving records when it’s time to renew policies.

Your insurance company may check your driving history as often as every six to 12 months. While getting a ticket for going a few miles over the speed limit might seem like no big deal, your insurer will likely discover it quickly and respond with a rate increase.

Infractions drop off your driving record after three to five years, depending on where you live.

Out-of-State Speeding Tickets

In the past, states didn’t share their traffic violation data with one another, but today, they do. Even if you get a speeding ticket out of state, it may later appear on your in-state driving record. So out-of-state speeding tickets can be just as detrimental to your auto insurance rates as in-state infractions.

The amount your auto insurance might increase after getting a speeding ticket can depend on your insurer and where you live. For example, according to Progressive, its policyholders incur an average six-month premium increase of 15% if they receive one speeding ticket during a three-year period. However, increases vary by carrier.

The North Carolina Department of Insurance estimates that motorists ticketed for speeding in the Tar Heel State incur the following insurance rate increases:

  • 30% when driving under 55 mph, but speeding by 10 mph or less
  • 45% when driving over 55 mph, but less than 76 mph, and speeding more than 10 mph
  • 80% when driving faster than 75 mph in a zone with a speed limit less than 70 mph
  • 260% when speeding to avoid arrest

When you get a traffic ticket, you can respond in numerous ways, each of which has advantages and disadvantages.

Pay the Fine

Paying the fine is the quickest and easiest way to deal with a speeding ticket. However, depending on where you got the ticket and how fast you were driving, the fine might be steep. And you’ll likely incur a car insurance rate increase upon renewal when your insurer reviews your motor vehicle record, especially if it was a significant violation.

In some states, including Massachusetts, paying a speeding ticket waives your right to a court hearing. You may also lose your right to a hearing if you don’t pay the ticket or appear in court during a specified period.

Fight the Ticket in Court

Going to court gives you the opportunity to dispute the speeding charge or request a reduction in the fine or points. Often, you won’t need a lawyer to defend a speeding ticket. However, if the infraction threatens loss of your driving privileges, you’ll need a lawyer to represent you in court.

Bear in mind that a prosecutor will present evidence to defend the state’s charge that you violated the speed limit. But if you succeed in defending the charge, the court may dismiss the speeding ticket.

Request Mitigation

Some court systems operate mitigation programs for traffic violations. If you choose mitigation, you must admit you were speeding. However, mitigation also gives you the opportunity to explain the circumstances of the violation. For instance, maybe you were driving too fast to your child’s school after receiving a call that they had been injured on the playground.

Choosing mitigation is final. After the hearing, you can’t file an appeal.

In some cases, a judge may reduce your fine, give you more time to pay it, or give you the option to complete a defensive driving course to reduce the fine. If the court rejects your excuse, you’ll have to pay the full fine and may receive points on your driver’s license.

Drivers in many states can go to traffic school to "mask" a violation so insurers don't see it and your insurance won't go up. But state laws usually allow traffic school only for certain violations and they limit how many times you can "mask" one.

How To Reduce Your Premium After a Speeding Ticket

You don’t have to settle for an insurance rate hike following a speeding ticket. Check with your insurance company to find out if you qualify for discounts you’re not receiving. If you insure your car and home with the same provider, you may earn savings by bundling policies. You may also qualify for a penalty reduction or discount if you take a defensive driving course .

Also consider shopping around for a new insurer. Get quotes from several insurance companies and compare coverages, discounts, optional coverages, and rates. You may find comparable or even better coverage with a lower premium.

The best way to avoid getting speeding tickets is to slow down. Always remain aware of speed limits and how fast you’re driving.

Enrolling in a usage-based car insurance program can enable you to evaluate and better control your driving habits. Usage-based programs harness telematics technology, using a mobile application or a plug-in device to monitor the times of day you drive, speed, and braking. Popular usage-based auto insurance programs include Allstate’s Drivewise, Progressive’s Snapshot, and State Farm’s Drive Safe & Save.

Consumer advocates have raised privacy and other concerns related to usage-based car insurance programs.

Telematics technology transmits your driving data to the insurer. These programs offer premium savings for drivers who follow the rules of the road—but may result in rate increases for motorists who drive too fast.

Also consider installing a speed governor on your automobile. These electronic devices restrict your speed to a set limit, like 73 miles per hour. Speed governors are vehicle specific, preprogrammed and connect to your vehicle’s throttle control system.

Driving Penalty Points – Avoid Double-Counting Points In The Same Journey

by admin | May 7, 2020 | General News , Motoring Law | 0 comments

avoiding double points

Penalty Points – Avoiding Double Counting

For some new drivers, six penalty points mean resitting a driving test, for other drivers twelve points may mean disqualification.

It is therefore vital to ensure that a single piece of driving is not unduly punished when it comes to the imposition of penalty points.

To explain the issues that can arise, we will use the following examples:

(1) Jane is observed by a police officer to be driving at excess speed and in an erratic manner. Jane is subsequently prosecuted for speeding and careless driving.

(2) Edward has driven from his home in Nottingham to his holiday home in the Lake District. On that journey, he committed two speeding offences, detected by cameras some 100 miles apart. He receives two fixed penalty notices.

As a starting point, many might think that a double punishment for Jane is a little harsh but perhaps deserved for Edward (and others may disagree entirely!).

What does the law say about this situation?

The starting point is section 28(4) Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, which provides:

“Where a person is convicted (whether on the same occasion or not) of two or more offences committed on the same occasion and involving obligatory endorsement, the total number of penalty points to be attributed to them is the number or highest number that would be attributed on a conviction of one of them (so that if the convictions are on different occasions the number of penalty points to be attributed to the offences on the later occasion or occasions shall be restricted accordingly).”

So, the key consideration in both of the examples above is whether the offences were indeed committed ‘on the same occasion’.

When we consider Jane’s case, there is no doubt at all that the speeding and careless driving were committed on the same occasion.

But what about Edward, where the offences were committed some 100 miles apart. Is it significant that it was a single journey from A to B? Would it matter if he had broken the trip by stopping for petrol or a rest break?

Edward’s case is more tricky to resolve than Jane’s. Still, the difference in outcome could have significant ramifications for Edward, so in cases such as this, we fight very hard to minimise the sentencing outcomes.

A Case For The Defence

There is a lack of English case law on this topic, and a significant difference of approach between the English and Scottish courts.

Failing to stop and then failing to report arise out of the same incident and therefore are offences on the same occasion (Johnson v Finbow [1983] 1 WLR 879).

A decision of the Scottish High Court, McKeever v Walkingshaw (1995) 1996 SLT 1228 decided that a single course of driving may give rise to offences having occurred on more than one occasion (speeding and then less than two miles later committing a further offence).

Similarly, a moving traffic offence which resulted in the driver being stopped and asked to give a specimen of breath (which he declined) was held to be separate occasions (Cameron v Brown (1996) 1997 SLT 914).

Whether offences occur on the same occasion is primarily a matter of fact.

Therefore, in every case where we act, we ready ourselves for any argument that might present itself. We hear of lots of situations where double or greater punishment is imposed, in circumstances where there was a solid argument to invoke the protection of the statute.

3 speeding tickets on one stretch of road

I was wondering, if you went round the M25 at say 90mph it is entirely feasable that you will get 3 speeding tickets within the same mile stretch. Now the question is will these be combined into one long speeding offence or treated as 3 separate incidents? Surely if you maintained a constand 90mph and were followed by a police car you would only end up with 1 endorsement over the same distance? Has this actually happened to anyone on here or anyone you know?  

Road Burner

My understanding is that they are seperate incidents. I seem to remember a case (although it was in the Daily Mail, which is a pretty shoddy newspaper) where such an incident had happened, someone had sped across a bridge with multiple cameras and had multiple punishments.

mate got caught 4 times in the space of 2 mins, court accepted it as 1 offence but came down harder on him 4 points rather than 3 and cant remember what the fine was. hes still not learned those 4 come off in may, if he gets caught again it bye bye time for license as has 10 points now  

  • 16 February 2010

agree with WLB, but probably depends on the court and if you are in the same area. Going to court would give you a better chance of trying to get it reduced to one offence, imo, but would suspect if you were caught in different counties/enforcement areas then you may end up with multiple offences. Used to be stories that driving down the A1 you could get banned 4 times if you kept speeding due to the number of cameras although dont know if any truth in this. Best way is, if you dont want to get caught, no need to slow down, get number plates like James Bond!  

There are cameras all up the m20 and around the M25 so it would be quite easy to be banned multiple times over on one journey.

There is something called the totting up procedure. It's an unofficial term used for drivers who are summoned to UK Court (specifically in England and Wales, Scotland has slightly different laws) for commiting multiple but similar speeding offences on the same day, and I imagine for it to be considered favourably in court, on proximate stretches of road. The general gist is that you'll pay all the fines but the points will only be applied according to the single most serious offence. You might well wind up with several hundred quids' worth of court costs being applied but you'll probably keep your license.  

  • 28 October 2010

picassoonwheels - very funny, gave me a good laugh first thing this morning. HDi - didnt know that, very interesting as have a horrible suspicion that may have been done twice on the A9 within a couple of hours two weeks ago. Seems the police were out in force "bolting the gate after the horse has gone".  

:lol:

I remember a frew years agao, there was an article in the Wrexham Leader about a plumber who sped past a speed van (first offence) then got clocked buy a copper (second office) on the way to a job. He then got clocked (by the SAME copper for thrid office). Feeling a bit anoyed by this, (thinking he had been done 2 times in a day) sped past the SAME speed van going the other way for his forth offence. (van had turned around as they only had the one offence that day (from him!!!). Guy got banned as the copper was on a different road from the van (about 10 miles from one another and to keep the same speed through out would be impossible as it was a differnt road). But was there not something said about the M25, when somone on 6 points got done twice within a few miles. He took 3 points for one of them, and his misses got 3 as he said she was driving for the second office! As he didn't contest it in court and just paid with written confirmation from his misses he got away with it. ITS NOT ABOUT MAKING THE ROADS SAFE. ITS ABOUT MAKING MONEY at the end of the day. Why do you NEVER see coppers pulling over old women for doing 30 on the motorway, or pull nurvous reck of a driver (you know one of them who drives around town in a brand new car at 20mph, hesitating, stalling, pulling out in front of traffic and then not speeding up.  

@ bigbadjoe ..... You are right there. The reason they do not pull up old women and the grandads is because they would have to first spend 30 minutes screaming, trying to overcome the inadequecies of the hearing aides, to explain the reason, and then sit patiently for another 30 minutes, listening to the arguments of the driver why he/she should not be penalised, and at the end of the day, these people are after all retired, and attending court would be a highlight of their day, having nothing better to do, and then the judge is going to show them leniency and mebbe let them off with a warning. Not worth the effort! While the working class cannot spare time for court, and more times than not, would pay the fine, albeit grudgingly, and be done with it. Its money that makes the wheels turn..... True! Picasso

I got to this question to ask about why do i get 2 offences for speeding within a 2 mile road.... YES! per camera is per offence! I haven't got an answer for my question but now certainly can answer this one? Driving on the A21 towards Tonbridge at about 85mph-90mph summer 2007 and then a flash by them big yellow boxes, Speed cameras. So as i thought i'm getting of next junction i'm not slowing down and as I'm coming towards the junction I get another flash...2 stone 1 bird right? day light robbers! Any way 2 weeks later i receive a penalty letter saying i should pay the fine within 14 days and take my licence in any police station for the points to be added, 3 days later to my surprise another letter arrives stating i have been speeding on the same road, same day, only few mins apart at different speeds. at first I thought they are suggesting to the first offence but after reading both letters together I have been fined twice and total 6 points (3 each) £100 & £250 = £350. I have been driving through that dual carriage way for over 4 years and seen them cameras before and also driving at about same speed but this time i got eaten... So, YES you do get separate offences :sad2:  

T9 man

Ouch!! There is one perfect way though to avoid being caught, fined and pointed. It is 100% legal too. Don't exceed the limit. Yes, I do at times on quiet de-restricted roads but if I get a FPN it's only me to blame. I do think though, that ticket per camera when they're closely bunched together seems a little excessive.

3 Speeding Offences In 2 Weeks

3 speeding offences – identical SP30 within 2 weeks

I got caught three times – same camera, same speed (39mph), same time (7am approx), separate days.

I thought it was 40mph….. genuinely.

1st letter arrived approx 2 hours after the 3rd offence. I thought I had only committed 1 offence yet process / postal time = 3 fines / 3 lots of points before I learned my mistake. Regrettably, all offences occurred within an 8 day period and all letters received within 2 weeks of offence.

200 yards after camera, limit changes to 40 mph. You can see the 40 mph sign 50 yards after the speed camera, hence my confusion 40 mph / 30 mph. So I pulled off one road and onto the Ax which I thought was 40 mph.

The camera is 20 yards after built up zone but is not in a built up area. A “Speed camera – 30 MPH limit” sign was added about two weeks AFTER I committed the third offence. Before that – no signs. Street lights YES, speed signs NO. I have a video recording which shows the new 30 mph sign was added AFTER the third offence.

I have admitted to the first offence (speed awareness course booked), and admitted I was driving for the other two.

No previous points or convictions, full licence for 18 years.

Do I have a case to argue against fines and points for the 2nd and 3rd offence? I don’t mind paying a fine, but worry about insurance premiums associated with points. I feel as though I am being punished three times for one genuine mistake ?

Thank you in advance.

Louise Says:

I understand your concern.

The requirement for signs warning of the speed trap is not mandatory I’m afraid. There are guidelines stating that there should be warning signs but they are not a legal requirement.

The 30 mph speeds signs are required by law unless there is a system of street lighting in place – either will do in order to make it a 30 limit.

I’m afraid if you accept the speeds for the 2nd and 3rd offences then you will have to take the fixed penalties and 3 points each on the chin. Keep my details and come back to me if you get into any other bother and I will be happy to assist further.

Sorry on this occasion.

Multiple tickets, why does my journey have multiple tickets.

If your journey requires two tickets to complete it, it will be classed as a ‘Multiple Ticket’ journey.

Changing trains…?

A Multiple Ticket journey does not mean you are making additional changes. You would make the same number of changes if you booked this journey as two separate journeys. You can find a detailed breakdown in your Journey Tracker of your journey.

How flexible are Multiple Tickets?

It depends on what type of tickets make up your journey. If it includes at least one Advance Single fare, then you’ll need to take the train you selected. If the Multiple Tickets are made up of flexible fares (Anytime, Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak) then you may be able to take different trains.

Is it legit?

Absolutely! You’re buying normal tickets, just for one journey, instead of splitting it into two separate journeys

Can I use railcards?

Absolutely! Just add them as normal when you search to get cheaper prices.

Can I still reserve a seat?

Yes, if a train operator offers seat reservations, then we’ll do our best to reserve one for you.

In rare cases, you may only be able to reserve a seat for part of your journey. Check your ticket for seat-specific info.

Can I claim delay repay?

Multifare journeys are eligible for delay repay, if they meet the required conditions. See this page for more detail on how to claim for delay repay.
