Hi all,
Need some information. I recently started a job (5 days ago) where I get a company car, or a fleet car if you will. My name isn't listed on the car's insurance, just the company. I got pulled over for a speeding ticket in the next state over and wanted to know if my company will be notified of the ticket? Or if it only goes on my record since I was the driver and gave my license? Do I need to try and contest it? Trying to know if this will be an issue for me. Thanks!

No one gets notified of a ticket... it's your company that can run your drivers licenses. I'd say most companies would pull drivers license records every so often. Your company should have a policy on this.

Hi,
I got pulled over for the first time speeding 93 in a 70..My dad pays for insurance and my name is not on it..will they find out about it or can I just pay for the ticket and it will just be on my drivers record?

You are most likely listed as a driver on your dad's auto insurance policy, and once you pay for the ticket, it will show up the next time the insurance company checks your motor vehicle report. Tell your Dad about it, but let the insurance company find out about it on their own.

First see my sig.93 in a 70? In most states that requires a visit to the traffic judge. I suspect that the ticket would be around $200.
You are not listed on the policy but your driving? You are driving without being on a policy and going 93mph on the hwy. Darwinism is still working!
Why is your father letting you drive (so well, I might add) when he's not listed you on the insurance? Usually carriers will require that everyone in the household be listed.
The insurance company usually pulls a CLUE report for a household. If the address on your drivers license is the same as the home, the carrier will find out. They will then pull your MVR and probably either jack the cost WAY up or refuse to right the new policy. I suspect if you ever do drive legally (obtain a policy) that your rate is going to be sky high.
I suspect that this was a life threatening situation which required you to get to where you were going 10 minutes quicker? Hope it was worth the thousand of dollars you will probably spend for higher insurance. If you continue to drive in that manner you _will_ cause an accident (guaranteed). The only question.... if if you will live through it.

I agree 93 mph can be a dangerous speed, and some insurance companies consider excessive speeding, such as a certain speed, or 25 miles an hour or more above the speed limit, as a major violation, like a DUI or reckless driving.
But I rather have a customer with a 93 in a 70 zone on an open freeway, than a 40 in a 25 zone.
Remember, the same tendency to make you think its cool to drive fast when you are young, is the same tendency making traffic fatalities more prevalent among the young.
