<prompt> Human: Hello!I got a speeding ticket last month for going 85 in a 70. The ticket was around 250, and based on my most recent conversation with my parents, I was told that the points on my driving record will amount to around 1500-2000 in increased premium over the next 2 years. This is my first traffic violation, and I think its considered an infraction, since I dont have to show up to court and can plead no contest to the ticket.From the research that Ive done, ticket lawyers cost on average between 70 and 200 flat to represent me in court, but I couldnt really get a good idea of what of the time my lawyer will be able to successfully reduceremove the fine associated with my ticket, or more importantly, what of the time a lawyer will be able to remove the points from my driving record.Do you guys have any resources I can investigate?  <response>: Most states have an agreement that if you go to a driving class you have to of course pay the ticket and pay for the class BUT no points will be assessed to your driving record thus the insurance company will not raise your rates.I would go that route rather than messing with a ticket lawyer that will most likely be unsuccessful since this was a straightforward speeding ticket. If your state doesnt have a driving class program then pay your ticket and take your lumps. You made a mistake and sometimes in life there is a cost to mistakes. The good news is there was not an accident involved so look at the bright side:
