Interesting info. I find that the biggest impact for small infractions is with the insurance - I had a case were I lost no points, but it cost me hundreds of dollars on car insurance, as the insurance companies look at all moving violations for the past 3 years - lesson learned - go to court.

Around here we have a number of ex cop companies that will assist with tickets - if you loose it costs nothing. Does anybody have any experience with those type of companies ?
