Q: Today I received my first ticket of going 25 over the speed limit and it was on the highway what should I do?
I’m concerned with my insurance rates for my family going up and this ticket going on my record. Can I do community service or take a driver’s class. What would be my best option. I’m 17 years old.
A: You must do so because you have to remain ticket free for two years. You will pay a higher fine for supervision and you will have to take a special class. And you need a parent or guardian in court with you in order to receive supervision.

A: You would need to appear in court with a parent/legal guardian and request court supervision to prevent this ticket from being entered as a conviction on your driving record. You will need to pay a fine and take traffic school if the Judge grants you supervision.

A: Appear in court with a parent and request Court Supervision. You will be required to take Traffic Safety School and pay a hire fine, but Court Supervision will not be seen by your insurance company.
