Speeding tickets in Utah add points to your driving record, which can have significant consequences for your driving privileges and insurance rates. Points vary based on the severity of your speeding violation, and accumulating too many within a three-year period can result in the suspension of your license or higher insurance premiums. It is crucial to understand how these points are assessed and to monitor your record carefully.
Typical speeding ticket point values in Utah include:
These points remain on your record for three years, but half of your accumulated points can be removed for each year you drive without a new moving violation. If you accumulate 200 points or more in three years as an adult (or 70 points if you are under 21), your license can be suspended for several months up to a year.
Utah DLD: Suspension may occur if 200 points accumulate over 3 years for drivers over 21, or if 70 points accumulate over 3 years for drivers under 21. Reckless Driving alone is 80 points!
Speeding tickets in Utah can come with significant costs that extend beyond the initial fine, impacting your finances and driving record. Fines vary depending on how fast you were driving over the speed limit, with typical penalties ranging from around $120 for 1-10 mph over to $470 or more for speeds exceeding 31 mph over the limit. Additional fees may apply for speeding in school or construction zones, and court costs can further increase the total amount you owe.
