I just got my first speeding ticket doing 39 in a 25 zone. I rarely drive the car and I should have known better.
Since this is my first, do insurance companies raise rates for the first ticket, or is it better to go to all day drivers school?
Thanks!!

I think she should shoot herself between the eyes. I did and it worked for me.
If you ever get stopped for not making a full stop at a stop sign and the cop says to you, "Did you see the stop sign?" Make sure you say, "I saw it. I just didn't see you!"
I'm sure that would go over about as well as Laz's..... LOL.
I drove one of them when I was in CA visiting my brother years ago. Also a 300 ZX. They are the only two standard cars I have ever driven.
Just looking for some details.
My adult children all think I'm crazy....
heh heh.. just looking at some of the 'advice'. FReepers are so helpful.
You'll be fine as long as you're with a reputable insurer.
That Wankle engine can't get out of is own way.
If you offered NO admissive chat or answered "I don't know, or no, I was within the posted range, then you stand a chance beating it in court. There are a couple of good websites that detail the means (which I don't have handy but google will probably find them) but then again, if your time's not worth it, just do the school...
? Granted, they blow up with alarming frequency, but you've never driven one in the mountains have you?
An older woman told me recently that she was stopped by a state cop for speeding down the highway and the cop asked her if she knew how fast she was going and she said, "Around 100?" She was actually going around 90 and he let her go with just a warning. Cops like it when you don't lie to them.
You bet, you should see the Judges that Mayor Daley 'appoints' to "his" Circuit Court.
And our current Secretary of State (who issues all DL's) was previously 'famous' for ... running a Tumbling Team.
Then there's the fact that every law written regrading driving and the roads is first vetted by MADD. If they don't like it, it gets nixed. And any pol or judge who crosses them (in their mind) is history.
Then there's the 'lawyers' (these shysters give real shysters a bad name) who live at the main Chicago Traffic Court hustling clients (think that's illegal), but that's another story.
No matter what we do, our kids think we are kinda nuts when they get old enough to think for themselves... LOL... Have fun.
Good grief... that's swallowing a spider to catch the fly. A lawyer would cost a lot more than the ticket or the increase in premiums.
At 45 on a first ticket, I'd guess she'll be OK with this one if she's been with the company a long time.
Check your state's rules. There are on-line courses and defensive driving courses that will keep tickets off your driving record in Texas.
I like your solution best.
No, it's called a traffic school. Which is different from a driver's school the way I understand
