Understanding Traffic Law And Speeding Tickets
There are two types of tickets you can receive when you violate traffic law. One is a parking ticket and the other is a speeding ticket. There are a few variations therein, but these are generally how they are distinguished from one another. These tickets can vary in several ways.
The punishment not only fits the crime, but also the area where you are. Different states and countries have different rules for speeders. There is no 'single' punishment, but rather many standards that are often used alone or with others. It is a complicated issue, too, because it depends on your own criminal history and exactly what you were doing when you were speeding.
Speeding is often combined with other crimes. The minor crimes include: just not going the speed limit, failing seat belt safety, or not stopping at lights or signs. There are other minor crimes but speeding is the biggest one because it is the easiest one to catch. It is very easy to tell who is speeding and who is not. Police officers are trained to tell how fast a car is moving just by looking at it--and most can tell within five miles an hour.
Major crimes that can be combined with speeding are: running your car all over the road and endangering others, running from the cops if you are pulled over, or driving while intoxicated or high. Sadly, these things often coincide with normal speeding tickets, causing the charges brought against the driver to be far higher.
It also depends on your history. If you have been charged with the same crime or several related crimes, you will not be looked upon very favorably. Sometimes first-time offenders are let off the hook. And you will really be in trouble if you have not paid previous tickets. If you get a fine--just pay it. Those tickets can haunt you and follow you around for years if you do not.
In America, you are allowed up to ten points on your license before the license is revoked. Speeding tickets can earn you a point or two against your license, but more if you do something stupid like go around a school bus when its stop sign is out. Then you could earn eight or nine points. And if your license is revoked twice, you never get it back.
If speeders were punished harder, there would be fewer deaths or tickets issued. And, sadly, just about everyone will get a ticket before they are done driving. Take your time and do not take risks. - 2368
