Many of our Santa Maria drivers with tickets ask, “Do I need a speeding ticket attorney for speeding 100+ mph?”
The answer, without a doubt, is yes. Many will undoubtedly think, “Of course, they would say that, they’re speeding ticket attorneys and just want our money.”
Yes, we want to represent you and help you with your ticket, but it’s more than the money.

Affordability Should Not Be a Question
The fine alone could be between $859 and $2,137. Then, if convicted, the DMV will levy two Negligent Operator Treatment System (NOTS) points that could stay on your driving record for up to seven years.
Once your insurance provider learns of the conviction, they will take away the driver’s “good driver’s discount” of 20% and impose the added risk of speeding 100+ mph. Those actions typically double or triple a driver’s already expensive CA auto insurance.
“Full coverage auto insurance in California costs 16 percent more than the national average car insurance costs.”—Bankrate.com.
Drivers in Santa Maria pay an average of $2,489 for full coverage insurance. Although that’s 22% below the statewide average, according to Bankrate.com. Imagine what paying two or three times that amount would do to your family budget.
What’s more, if you have a teenager on your policy, you could be paying as much as 130% more than the average, and for many with a new car loan, full coverage is mandatory.
“Parents adding a teen driver to their policy can expect to pay 130 percent more than the California average cost of full coverage.”
Beyond the fine, NOTS points, and increased premiums, the judge has the option to suspend your driver’s license for 30 days immediately if convicted.
