Yet One More Cost of a Speeding Ticket

We recently heard from one of our newer potential clients that there is yet another cost of a speeding ticket.  We have covered the hidden costs of a speeding on our other sites, but this driver shared with us that the main reason he was looking for help was because he lost a promotion over a previous ticket on his record and had just recently got cited again. Bringing to our attention an area we had failed to think of including on our previous list of the hidden cost of speeding tickets.

 

Here is his story.  This gentleman works for a Fortune 300 company in a management position.  Last year, there was a promotion for a higher level management spot and he was in the running. Unfortunately, the Hiring Manager for the position pulled driving records as part of the screening process.  The other employee in the running won out because he had a ‘cleaner’ record! The Hiring manager cited the fact that sometimes the position required driving a company car and that they did not need the added potential liability that may be caused by a driver with more ‘points’ than the other candidate.  Talk about your hidden cost of a speeding ticket!  What price tag can one place on loosing a promotion due to a few speeding or traffic tickets?

 

Therefore, our ‘new’ list of the hidden cost of a speeding ticket is as follows:

1. Potential negative impact on employment.
2. Potential negative impact on memberships or any other institution that may gauge character on your driving record or perform a background check on you.
3. Added points to your driving record. If these points add up to a certain amount, your driving privileges can be revoked.
4. Higher automobile insurance premiums. According to insurance companies, one in four US drivers will get a speeding ticket in the coming year. Of course, the more you drive, the more the odds are of you being that one in four. The reason? Virtually every single one of us drives faster than the posted speed limit on most roads — because the posted speed limits are invariably set anywhere from 5-10 mph or more below the natural flow of traffic on any given road.
5. Time off work if you choose to try and fight your ticket in court.
6. Fees for traffic school if you choose to (and are eligible to) opt for this route.
