Will I Receive Points on my Insurance and License for a Speeding Ticket in Massachusetts?
One of the most common questions clients ask after receiving a speeding ticket in Massachusetts is whether or not they will receive points on their license or points on their insurance if they simply pay the citation. The answer is – yes.
Under Massachusetts Law, a speeding violation is considered a “surchargeable event.” A surchargeable event will go on your driving record and will also be reported to your insurance company. As a result, your insurance company will almost certainly raise your premium payments. Furthermore, if you have received additional violations in the recent past, a speeding citation may result in a suspension of your driver’s license.
Once an operator sends in payment for the amount assessed on a ticket, it is considered to be an admission of guilt. Therefore, it is important to speak with an experienced Massachusetts Speeding Ticket Attorney about your case prior to paying the ticket in full.
