If you receive a speeding ticket, your initial concern may be for the impact on your pocketbook in terms of speeding ticket fines. However, your main concern ought to be with the indirect costs of speeding tickets, particularly if this is not the first speeding ticket that you have received. While receiving one or two speeding tickets is likely to have much economic impact on you, other than increased insurance rates, receiving multiple speeding tickets, particularly over a span of three to five years, can result in the loss of your driver's license altogether, and perhaps for an extended period of time. Plus, if your speeding ticket is combined with another, more serious traffic offense, such as drunk driving or reckless driving, your driver's license is definitely in jeopardy. Most states operate on a point system, which means that a certain number of points is assessed to your driving record for each traffic citation you receive. Once you receive a certain number of points, your license may be subject to suspension and/or revocation.
