Speeding is one of the most common traffic violations. Each year, millions of drivers are caught speeding and fined.  But the financial repercussions do not end up after that fine. Insurance companies will also react. Find out how prices are influenced by speeding tickets. For more info about car insurance and free quotes, visit http://compare-autoinsurance.org.

The price of auto insurance is influenced by a range of factors. Some of these factors are specific to each individual. Personal driving history is one of the top influential factors. Insurance companies will check a client's driving record, and they may use the information to help determine the risk of having an accident or making an insurance claim. A driver will be perceived at a higher risk of an accident because of traffic violations and will affect the cost of insurance.

Car insurance rates will go up 22 to 30 percent, on average, after a speeding ticket, according to a rate analysis by CarInsurance.com. Drivers ticketed for speeding 15 miles or more over the speed limit receive higher rate increases. The next factor relates to repeat violations. Adding more tickets to the record will make premiums more and more expensive.

In Michigan, Florida and Georgia, drivers are charged the most expensive premiums after a speeding ticket.  Speeding with more than 16 mph above the legal limit and being caught will cause the premiums to increase with $1043 (Florida), $1064 (Georgia) and a whopping $1666 in Michigan.

Each insurer charges in different way customers with speeding tickets. The exact increase depends on the state's laws, how fast was the client driving and the insurance company. Each company has its own algorithm for assessing the risk caused by excessive speed. CarInsurance.com data below show how much rates increase, on average, among six top insurers for a ticket speeding 16 to 29 miles over the limit:

• State Farm – 12%
• Allstate – 14%
• Nationwide – 17%
• Farmers – 23%
• Progressive – 30%
• Geico – 37%

Speeding tickets will cancel all safe-driver discounts. On the long term, the client can lose thousands of dollars for having just a single speeding ticket. The math is simple, the safe driver discount +  speeding ticket increase, multiplied by 3 or 5 (the number of years for which the speeding ticket will affect the rates).

"Having a speeding ticket will spell "disaster" for your insurance premiums. You will pay a whole lot more for premiums and you will lose several benefits", said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.
