The Traffic Ticket Handbook How to Beat your Traffic Ticket More than 100,000 people receive a speeding ticket in the United States on a daily basis. This translates into more than 36,500,000 tickets every single year being issued to drivers in the United States. It has been concluded that the average fine for a traffic ticket is approximately $150 which translates into nearly $5.4 billion in revenue for the government (or branches of) annually. However, anyone who has received a speeding ticket or two understands that the financial pain is not restricted to the dollar amount on the face of the ticket. The collateral consequences of traffic tickets also impact a driver's insurance. The insurance companies in the United States seek billions of dollars per year in raised premiums from drivers who have committed traffic violations. It should therefore be obvious that the government (and insurance companies) benefits from driver indiscretions and the dutiful work of thousands of police officers. Whether the government admits it or not traffic tickets are a wonderful way to raise revenue. And with the Country in an undeniable financial panic and near bankruptcy, what better way to quash the financial fears than by robbing its citizens. If you have recently received a traffic ticket you are well aware of how expensive they are. Further, the costs of some individual traffic tickets are illogical and offensive. The manner in which officers are quietly informed to fill their quota of traffic tickets is the modern equivalent of the Roman Empire's tax collectors.

Some states consider such "minor violations" criminal, so you must fight these allegations to preserve your record. Too much is at stake. For those states that consider traffic violations mostly "civil," you should still fight as there undoubtedly will be negative impact if you do not. More to the point, the financial penalties are arbitrarily set so at the very least fight the amount indicated on the face of the ticket. We all try to limit our taxes (lawfully), and ultimately this is simply another form of taxation.
