What Happens if I get a Traffic Ticket in Wisconsin?

Wisconsin traffic tickets can have a range of concequences depending on the type of violation and prior driving record.

  1. Fines: Wisconsin Traffic Tickets typically come with a Fine, the amount of which can vary based on the severity of the violation and whether it's a first offense or a repeat offense.

  2. Points on Your Driving Record: Many traffic violations come with demerit points that are added to your driving record. Accumulating too many points within a certain period can result in license suspension or other penalties.

  3. Impact on Insurance Rates: Getting a traffic ticket can lead to an increase in your auto insurance premiums.

How Can A Traffic Ticket Affect Insurance Rates?

Insurance companies assess risk based using various factors, including driving history. Having a Traffic Ticket on your record signals that you may be a riskier driver, which can lead to higher premiums 

Traffic Tickets can affect insurance rates for 3 to 5 years, depending on your state license, although certain traffic violations will impact rates even longer.

On average, one Traffic Ticket can increase insurance between $30-60 per month, which totals thousands of dollars over the 3 to 5 years the Traffic Ticket is used by insurance! 
 
A Traffic Ticket may also cause you to lose out on other insurance benefits or incentives offered for being a good or safe driver.
