Why it matters in Connecticut
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
Connecticut speeding is only 1 point — why fight it?
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.
What happens after I plead not guilty to a Connecticut infraction?
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.
When does speeding become a criminal charge in Connecticut?
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.
What is the difference between speeding and traveling unreasonably fast?
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.
Will I have to appear in a Connecticut courtroom?
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.
