The officer did write $52.50. So I guess I'll just pay it off and see what my insurance company does :/ does anyone know how much my insurance will go up by (approx)? I pay like $40. And if I spoke to my insurance broker, is there any way they can make an exception and not increase my insurance? I basically can't let my parents know I got a ticket. I'm willing to go to any extent legally to stop my insurance from going up!

Thanks everyone for your comments!
Helped a lot

Thank you.

Hi, I recently got a speeding ticket for 50$ for driving 65 in a 50 zone. I was originally at 72, but the officer dropped it too 65 with no demerit points. I was driving in the left lane which was coming to a left only lane, and I wanted to switch into the right lane. However, it was rush hour and there was a line up behind my car and a line behind the car beside me, so I sped up to switch into the lane. That was when the officer tagged me and pulled me over. I am a student, and I do not want to have my insurance to go up. What should I do? Pay the ticket? Or fight it? And if I fight it, what ...
