In ft lupton at least

I got a ticket for 69 in a 45 going up 285 in Morrison in early March just after the shut downs started. 6 point ticket. Got a letter about a month later from the City of Morrison with the offer of reducing it to a 3 point driving too fast for conditions ticket if I paid instead of going in to court which was closed at the time. That section of road is nothing but a revenue collection point for Morrison. I know I wasn?t driving 69 (Jeep Wrangler up hill around those corners, no way) and the ticket if written for 70 would have required a summons for court, how convenient was that? but how do you prove that kind of thing?

Someone should open a bar called the Boars Nest in that town.

170 bucks is definitely a win here. My 87 in a 55 in Denver several years ago netted them almost 400 bucks, and cost me 3 points. I forget what bullshit infraction actually ended up on my record.

And the judge educated me on what happens at 40 over the limit...

Until your insurance carrier surreptitiously drops your small accident forgiveness because your (spouse in my case) had a "defective vehicle citation," you have a small accident, make a claim expecting no affect, and they jack your rates.

Wait, did you make a claim or not? That sounds fishy but I might be misreading.

I made a claim. Should have just paid it.

Me $500 deductible
Ins $2200 paid to shop

Agent told me it would be at fault due to amount (hit a parking lot pole) but I had forgiveness on the policy so didn't sweat it.

Turns out they dropped that forgiveness due to the wife's ticket but didn't cover that with me when I filed a claim.

Fucked my rates. Of course, so did annual rate increases and a new vehicle. Damn near 50% increase since last year.

Been with them for 15 years and now they're screwing with me.

Ahhhh I see, couple of things going on there.

Complete bullshit that they'd drop the accident forgiveness due to a defective vehicle ticket. They know damn well that is a drop down charge and isn't indicative of an accident.

I got one, many years ago, when I was stationed in Hawaii... 90 in a 55. It was a $1600 fine (+lawyer costs and court fees), 30 days of weekend jail, 100 hours of community service, a defensive driving class, and a written letter of apology to Honolulu county. Then they put a hold on my license so that years later, here in Colorado, I could not renew it until I sent them more money and proof that I was carrying some kind of high risk car insurance that I had to pay extra for.
Long story short... be careful where you speed and what kind of lawyer you hire.

Shopping rates the other day and my non-moving defective vehicle ticket came up with some carriers as to why my rates were higher. Some carriers didnt care.
