Reader’s Question:

How long does a speeding ticket remain on your record for insurance carriers? Was it three years? What is the current auto insurance rate in Wisconsin?

Normally insurance carriers have a look back period to rate on an offense conviction for three, five or seven years. Since your speeding ticket would be on your driving record for five years then an insurance carrier could rate you on this violation for that time period or for a lesser time period.

Since insurance carriers look back period and rating systems differ so you will need to contact your insurance provider to check how long they will rate you on the speeding ticket.Your insurance agent in Green Bay, Wisconsin should be able to inform you about your insurance carrier’s rating system and/or you can contact the Wisconsin insurance regulator with whom surcharge and rates information must be filed with.

Rates vary from person to person, zip code to zip code I can only suggest you get a quote and find your rates.

If you are convicted of this speeding offense in the state of New York then their courts will likely notify the Wisconsin Department of Transportation of the speeding ticket.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation states that they do receive in from out of state courts information on Wisconsin licensed motorists and traffic violation convictions. According to the Wisconsin DOT though that no points are assessed for violations of traffic offenses from out of state but the conviction is placed on your WI driver record.

You can contact your insurance agent in Appleton WI about your insurance company’s rating system or you may contact your state’s insurance regulator since insurers must file their insurance rates with this state entity.
