What a speeding ticket costs in Connecticut
| Typical fine | Roughly $150–$400 with fees, rising with speed |
|---|---|
| License points | 1 point (speeding under CGS § 14-219) |
| Insurance impact | Even at 1 point, a speeding conviction on your Connecticut record commonly raises premiums 10–20% for three years. |
| License risk | Points count toward the 10-point / 30-day suspension line; speeding beyond certain thresholds can instead be charged as reckless driving. |
Frequently asked questions
Because insurers price the conviction, not the point. A moving violation on your DMV record means roughly three years of surcharges, and pleading not guilty through the Centralized Infractions Bureau costs little compared to that.
The case transfers to Superior Court, where a prosecutor reviews it before any trial — and many tickets are nolled or reduced at that stage. Attorneys in our network handle that conversation for you.
Driving at speeds the statute treats as inherently dangerous — commonly cited at 85 mph and above — can be charged as reckless driving under CGS § 14-222, a criminal offense rather than an infraction. That jump is exactly when a lawyer stops being optional.
Connecticut has two statutes: speeding (§ 14-219) and traveling unreasonably fast (§ 14-218a), the lesser charge. Getting a ticket amended from one to the other — or to a zero-point violation — is a common negotiated outcome.
Rarely. Infractions can be contested by mail or online, and once a case is in Superior Court, we connect you with a licensed Connecticut attorney who appears and negotiates on your behalf.
