Traffic ticket guides
For the situations a state page can't cover on its own. Each guide includes the rules for every state where they differ.
Missed your ticket deadline or court date?
Late fees, license suspension and how to fix it, state by state. In 46 states a missed ticket can lead to a suspension, and getting your license back costs up to $210.
Will a ticket from another state follow you home?
Which agreements send it to your home record and which ones can suspend you for not paying. Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin don't share convictions the same way.
How does a ticket affect a CDL?
Serious violations, disqualification periods and the federal rule that stops a court from hiding a conviction for a commercial driver.
Do camera tickets count against you?
Red light and speed camera notices are mailed to the owner. In most states they carry no points and never reach your driving record.
How much is a parking ticket in your city?
Every published parking fine in the biggest US cities, from expired meters to fire hydrants, with who to pay and how to contest.
Do parking tickets affect insurance?
Parking tickets go to the city, carry no points in most states and don't raise insurance, unless they go unpaid and block your registration.
Who pays a ticket in a rental car?
The rental company gets the notice and adds an admin fee. A moving violation still goes on your own record, and a speeding ticket raises insurance about 24% on average.
