VA car insurance rate

Reader’s Question:

I just want to know what the fees are for serious traffic violation. I live in VA.

Hope

Thank you for asking Hope.

The cost of your speeding ticket that you receive in Virginia will depend upon what VA state statute you were cited for.

These fees do not apply to the typical minor traffic violation. Abusive driver fees will only apply when the individual is convicted of reckless driving, driving on a suspended or revoked license, DUI, or other serious traffic offenses that occur after July 1, 2007. The fees are based on the following schedule:

* Driving on a suspended or revoked license – $250 each year for three years;
* Reckless or aggressive driving – $350 each year for three years;
* Driving while intoxicated – $750 each year for three years;
* Other misdemeanor convictions for driving and/or motor vehicle-related offense -$300 each year for three years;
* Any felony conviction for driving or motor vehicle-related offense – $1000 each year for three years.

Goodluck!
