Do you know how much speeding tickets really cost drivers?

Consumer finance site NerdWallet has discovered the true cost of a speeding ticket in Kansas. We took a look at the price of the ticket plus insurance increases over 3 years (because that’s how long they last in Kansas). Haysville, Lansing and Wichita are the three most expensive places in Kansas to get caught speeding.

Here’s what else we found:
The true cost of a speeding ticket in Kansas is 5.99 times the cost of the actual ticket — drivers pay an average of $449.44 for a $75 ticket
As the holiday season approaches, share this maddening news with listeners and readers but also the options they have after receiving a ticket (we’ve included a handful of options). I’ve attached our study below, but more than happy to put you in touch with our resident insurance expert John Kuo for more information.
