Reader’s Question:

I know that I am a responsible driver. I practice defensive driving and I have a level temper when I’m on the road here in Utah. Here’s the thing, now that I’ve elevated myself to a nice level, I got a ticket for not wearing my seat belt just last week. How is this going to affect my auto insurance premium?

Now, we all know that your driving history will affect your auto insurance premium rate, the question is how fast and how much. Based on your self elevation sentence, I would assume that this is your first traffic violation. If that is the case, then there is a small to no chance of that affecting your auto insurance premium. Again, this is assuming that there are no speeding tickets stashed somewhere in your car. Auto insurance companies would usually consider the gravity of the offense before they do anything to your auto insurance premium rate. However, if you make this a habit, then this is not going to look good on your driving history and it will surely raise your auto insurance premium.

Besides, auto insurance companies don’t usually check your driving history if it’s not renewal time. Even if there are indeed speeding tickets stashed somewhere in your car there in Utah, it will not instantly affect your auto insurance premium. And also, you would have to be convicted first for the traffic infraction for it to appear in your driving history. If you contest it and get acquitted, then it does not exist. There are also ways of having the violation removed. Taking defensive driving classes and similar lessons would usually appease the court and not pursue the case, especially since this is your first time.

Reader’s Question:

I live in California and I received a speeding ticket in Salt Lake City. I just want to know if this will be points will be assigned on my CA license?

Tom

Thank you for asking Tom.

Utah and California are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). This means that the Utah courts will share information with the CA Department of Motor Vehicles about speeding ticket you received, if you plead guilty and are convicted of it. One is usually convicted of a traffic violation by paying the fine assigned to the citation by the court.

According to the CA DMV if you receive a speeding ticket out of state there will be an assigned points to that. The speeding violations are only assigned 1 point according to the CA violation points assessment listing for out of state.

Basically, the CA DMV should be informed of the Utah speeding ticket and then place the violation on your California driving record and assign it 1 point.

Goodluck!
