How does a speeding ticket affect insurance costs?

Question

My parents own the car that I drive and cover insurance fees (I pay for gas/oil/maintenance). I got a speeding ticket today for $156 for going 52 in a 35 zone (if that price is legitimate and fair in CT, I'm not sure), but I'm curious as to how that will affect insurance costs? Anyone with knowledge in the area, your responses are much appreciated.

Answer 1

Not a good situation, usually the 1st 3 years of driving are the highest for young people.  With a ticket, it will raise your parents premium quite a bit. You should go to court or call them and see if traffic school is available for you.
