Generally, the issuance of speeding tickets has increased nationwide, due to heightened safety concerns for drivers and passengers, better technology available to document traffic violations, and the government's continued need for the greater revenues that speeding tickets can produce. As a result, drivers should be wary of their increased risks of receiving speeding tickets, as well as concerned about their consequences, which can affect one's finances, mobility, and employment. Not only will drivers who receive speeding tickets be saddled with skyrocketing fines and penalties, but drivers are also likely to face increased auto insurance premiums for even a single ticket. Plus, some employers will not continue to employ, or even hire in the first place, drivers who have demonstrated a poor driving history with respect to speeding tickets or other traffic law violations. Therefore, drivers need to be more cautious than ever in order to avoid the costly consequences of receiving speeding tickets.
