I'll just pay the fine.
Traffic court varies from state to state. In my state, you're a fool if you don't go. The worst that will happen is that a judge will lower the fine by court cost, so you're no worse off. I've seen them decrease the number of points, give Probation Before Judgment, and throw the case out if the officer isn't there on the first appearance. Granted, if you reschedule your court date, the officer is allowed to miss.

My mom got a speeding ticket and rescheduled the court date. On the rescheduled date, the officer didn't show up so it was thrown out. How long do accidents/tickets stay on your record and affect your insurance? I have a ticket from 2.5 years ago and an accident last year.

I'm with you Jeff. My insurance gave me the same BS last month. 23 years of driving with no moving violations and only two accidents and they raise my rates because of other idiots.

If you're going to raise my rates, do it because I'm an idiot, not because someone else is.

yea, see.... no one's rates are going DOWN unless they just turned 25, or switched companies. When you take out all the other variables like age, location, carrier etc, you see that the rates on our cars have gone up.

now lets get back to talking about VDC and 300zx twin turbos.

I pay about $800 a year for my Z but I'm over the hill (State Farm). I was beginning to wonder why, after purchasing my Z in late 2009, I have seen maybe one on the road in the Kansas City metro area. I have seen only a few 350s and one 370. They must all be at the body shops.

My insurance when up but was a combination of rates increased and other police related issues.

Plus December 2010 was not a good driving month for me...and I will leave it at that.

what modifications from stock are you planning/ do you already have that you're planning to get those numbers with?

well my initial quote was 1200 and thats what i had been paying... so you can understand my frustration.... but, i have a lot of savings, worked full time for my last 2 years of college, i work in finance now and i live at home with my parents (i could move out, and i will once it affects my quality of life, but as of now it doesn't bother me at all) and no rent/mortgage helps me save a lot of money, even with the cars. I also put a lot down on my 370z, so the payment is very low.

as far as paying 1600 to be 22, thats why i'm not too upset.... can't take things for granted. Yea, Insurance wants to penalize me because i'm a 22 year old single male driving a sports car... but hey, i'm a 22 year old single male driving a sports car... and that's not a bad place to be. i'll pay high premiums for the next 2 years (i turn 23 in about 3 weeks) and then i'll join the ranks of you low insurance premium having old men

No need to defend yourself. Everyone's situation is different. Also, have you seen how much rent/houses cost on LI. Most people's salary will barely cover it after general expenses. Not to mention the insane taxes compared to the rest of the country. This crappy economy doesn't help either.
