Do traffic tickets go on your record?
Chris Combs: Yes. Absolutely. We’ve covered this a little bit, but again, you pay that fine, you don’t get an attorney, your run-of-the-mill ticket is two points. Some of these more serious violations can be, I mean, those high-speed tickets are three points.
Insurance companies know what these points mean. And, you know, your careless impudence and your DWIs – they can cause license revocation and suspension.
Scott Michael Dunn:Dang.
Chris Combs:So, it may seem kind of silly that we’re sitting here spending all this time on traffic tickets, but they have a lot of consequences.
[E]veryone gets traffic tickets, right? All walks of life. And a lot of people just don’t understand the collateral consequences that can come from just paying the fine and going down the road.
