Car Insurance Question  I am 18 years old. I live in Kentucky and have a Kentucky driver's license. I got my first speeding ticket while driving in Indiana. The speed limit was 55.The officer said I was going 87. (I know my speedometer was only reading 79.) What kind of chance would I have in court? How will this ticket effect my insurance since its out of state? I currently have a 40% discount for being a good driver, will all that go away?

Chances are this violation will eventually make it on to your Kentucky motor vehicle report. You will first want to contact your insurance company. You will want to see if there is any difference in a speeding ticket that is 24 miles per hour over the limit opposed to a speeding ticket that is 32 miles per hour over the speed limit. Chances are this violation will eliminate your safe driver discount. Verify this with your insurance company when you speak to them. Now, if you choose to fight this ticket, you may want to contact someone from Indiana's court system to find out what is their ticket overturning rate. While you are inquiring, you will want to ask what you will need to do to win this case.
