How Much Does a Speeding Ticket Increase Insurance?

In Alberta, receiving a speeding ticket can significantly impact your car insurance premiums. Generally, after a speeding violation, insurance companies may raise your rates due to the increased perceived risk you represent as a driver. The amount of the increase varies based on several factors, including the severity of the speeding offense, your driving history, and the policies of your specific insurance provider.

On average, drivers can expect their rates to rise by approximately 20% to 30% after a violation. This increase can remain on your record for several years, potentially leading to higher payments during that time. To mitigate these effects, it’s essential to maintain a clean driving record moving forward and explore defensive driving courses that may help lower your premiums. Always consult with your insurance agent for personalized insights based on your individual situation.
