I got a speeding ticket for 25 over a little bit ago.I paid the fine cause I was clearly guilty. Just the other day my brother told me he heard about a company that dose speeding ticket insurance. So I did a little googling and came up with this place. http://www.trafficareinternational.com . They make some good clams and it sound like for the price of my ticket I could of bought several years of coverage. So in all has any one heard anything good or bad or is currently using them?

If it's not a scam that's pretty cool.

I need this. Do you know if you can put multiple people on one coverage?

Brilliant. I'm having one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments.

Seems like an excuse to drive recklessly though. America is wonderful.

Agreed.

I bring this up everytime Jesda chimes in advocating getting a lawyer to get the points removed for a moving violation ticket...

Reckless driving means you could end up sitting in the local jail for endangering the public. Routine speeding is different.

God damn clownface.


As for insurance, lawyers can keep the ticket off your record, so you won't lose out on eligibility for certain jobs.

Are you saying that the punishment is excessive for the crime?

Or are you saying that you should not be punished for the crime?

A little of both if you ask me. Speeding laws are a farce to begin with (at least the way they're done in the US), and even if you do believe that speed limits actually work (they don't) and don't cause more dangerous situations (they do) a speeding ticket is one of the most expensive tickets you can get that won't cause jail time. That is to say cutting someone off, passing them over a yellow line into oncoming traffic, tailgating, and weaving in and out of traffic all result in tickets that, in most states, are a hell of a lot less than speeding tickets even though each one of thos activities is obviously and provably more dangerous.

As for the ticket insurance, I'm going to flag this under "too good to be true." Unlike health insurnace, car insurance, or just about any other type of insurance, the only people who would bother with ticket insurance would be the high risk group (Imagine a health insurance carrier that pretty much solely carried to people with cancer histories in their family tree). To make a profit the company would either be charging wallet-shattering premiums or screwing everyone on the coverage.
