The number one question for
anyone faced with a speeding ticket is how much will this ticket cost me? The answer will vary greatly depending
on the individual person ticketed in Ashford. But, this blog should be broad enough to answer the question
for the majority of drivers.
How much will a ticket cost
of a driver pleads no contest?
There are many factors to
consider in determining the cost of a ticket. Some expenses may be applicable to some drivers and not
others. For example, a driver that
lives in Cattaraugus County may find it simple to get to Ashford Town Court and
may have very little expense getting to court. However, a driver that was traveling through Ashford en
route to vacation may encounter an 8 hour round trip journey to fight the same
ticket. Thereby the cost just to get to court can be prohibitive for a driver. Note, if you hire our law firm, we can appear by authorization thereby eliminating the need for you to appear in court.
In terms of quantifiable
dollars and cents, the average conviction to a 76/55 mph zone will usually face
a fine up to about $400.00, a $300.00 fine payable to DMV, and a few hundred
dollars in insurance increases.
Note, insurance costs can
vary for two very similar situated drivers. A speeding conviction is not the only factor taken under
consideration by insurance companies.
They will also examine things such as a driver’s age, type of car
driven, and car accident history.
