*_WHAT TO DO IF YOU GET A TRAFFIC TICKET :_** Anyone ever heard of this?
This advice was sent by a retired State Farm agent! This system has been tried and it works in every state. If you get a speeding ticket or went through a red light, or whatever the case may be, you're going to get points on your license and a surcharge on your auto insurance. This is a method to insure that you DO NOT get the points. When you get your fine, send in a check to pay for it. If the fine is $79.00 make the check out for $82.00, some small amount over the fine. The system will then have to send you back a check for the difference. However, here is the trick: DO NOT CASH THE REFUND CHECK! Throw it away! Points are not assessed to your license until all Financial Transactions are complete. If you do not cash the check, then the transactions are NOT complete. The system has received its money and is satisfied and will no longer bother you. This information comes from an unmentionable computer company that sets up the standard databases used by every state. Send this to everyone you know. You never know when they may need a break.* | |

No one can pull that off here, it is impossible. The fines go to one department and demerit points are controlled by another department. If you fail to pay, you are given one chance before an arrest warrant is issued for failure to pay and demerit points are automatically deducted whether the fine is paid or not. | |

1) I took a defensive driving class after getting a moving violations ticket...what the instructor told us is, your insurance does NOT go up, unless the insurance company actively searches for any violations when your policy comes up for renewal. Therefore if you stay with the same company, they never check. It's only when you go to a new company that an active search is performed.
2) The send a check for more, and don't cash the refund check is not true. It's just not true. Pay your fine, do the time and next time be more careful snopes.com...FALSE "http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/ticket.asp" | |

I didn't know that it goes against you for insurance purposes.
