Car Insurance Question  I am 17 years old in Kentucky and given 3 tickets for speeding 81 in a 55 (26 over speed limit), coming across 4 lanes which was reckless and not using a signal. Will I lose my license over those 3 issues even if this is my first ticket?

In Kentucky, it is 6 points for going 25 mph over the speed limit but for 26 or over the posted speed on any road or highway you have to attend a hearing and are up for a possible license suspension.

Reckless driving is a 4 point offense in KY. Not using a turn signal was not listed on the KY Division of Driver Licensing (DDL) points system, www.kytc.state.ky.us/drlic/point.htm, but there could be points associated with it so check with the DDL.

The DDL states that upon accumulation of 12 points (7 points if under age 18) within a two year period, a driver's privilege may be suspended. The driver will need to attend a hearing with an officer of the KY Transportation Cabinet prior to the possible suspension. Failure to appear at the hearing results in a driving suspension for 6 months.

After the hearing, the department may require the driver to be placed on probation in lieu of suspension and attend a driver improvement clinic. So due to these 3 violations of the traffic laws, you could quite possibly have your license suspended. You can find out more information regarding your situation by contacting the KY Transportation Cabinet.
