Default Quick Question - Insurance/Ticket

Just a quick one....
Does a "Driving to Fast for Conditions" ticket affect your insurance or is this one of those tickets that aren't reported to the insurance mafia?
Thanks

I got a 2-point 'too fast for conditions' last year on Labor Day weekend. It hasn't affected my insurance yet, and my insurance renews in October and April.

SC is a little different, DMV doesn't communicate too well with local minucipalities.

in NC it is a 2 point insurance violation, although you can take a 4 hour driving school course for 135 bucks that will keep you from getting points on your insurance. that means you cannot recieve another ticket for 3 years or you will get both violations back on.

What were your speeds? That can be a subjective ticket, and you can argue your way out of it depending on what the ticket says. The best ticket is no ticket, since everything else costs a lot more.

You and s2kmaniac81 should BOTH invest in soap on a rope.
