While you can simply pay for your ticket and move on, certain consequences come with choosing that option. Paying your ticket means that you’re pleading guilty to speeding. Therefore, you’ll have to not only pay for the ticket, but it will also be on your driving record. Paying for your ticket also means your insurance rates will likely increase. Also, some traffic tickets including speeding tickets require a mandatory appearance and are not payable before the court date.
While paying for your speeding ticket might be the easiest option, it’s almost always better to resolve your ticket with the help of a lawyer.
