Well, it finally happened. 88 in a 55 on 95s, estimated/LIDAR. $335 or so. First speeding ticket ever.
My main question is: is there any easy way to calculate whether or not this is worth pursuing in traffic court? What kind of insurance implications are there typically for a violation like this? I have 7 points on my record from a DUI back in 2012 but it's pretty much spotless other than that. The $335 fine doesn't bother me, it's just I don't want the insurance to become a pain in the ass since I am on so many different policies for my own company, family, and of course my policy
I briefly Googled traffic attorneys in the Boston area and they seem to be more tailored towards habitual offenders where a particular speeding ticket is the difference between a license suspension or not for them. Obviously that is not the case for me, my premiums would just go up (I assume). And then again, I'd need to calculate if the increase in premium would outweigh the cost of the attorney, otherwise it's not really worthwhile.
On a side note, do these cops have rear mounted radar guns or something? I actually saw them sitting at the rest stop facing the other way and while I may have tapped somewhere close to 88 on my way towards them, I was well under 80 by the time I actually got to them or passed them. Those sons of bitches are good
