Reader’s Question:
I am only 16, got my license just last month, and already received a speeding ticket for doing 55 in a 45 zone. How much are my insurance rates going to increase because of this citation and how long will this remain on my record? I currently have the good student discount, and I got the reduced insurance rate for attending driving class from my insurance provider in South Dakota.

Each carrier in South Dakota handles insurance points differently. The car insurance provider uses a insurance point system under which assigns their individual values to each type of moving convictions and accident claim. Chances are the insurance provider will not assign a higher insurance rate for that minor traffic infraction. But, this infraction may force your insurance provider to remove any good driver discount that applies to your insurance policy. The length of time that this infraction will affect your insurance rates depends upon your insurance provider. Some carriers verify the last 3 years of your motor vehicle report. Some use the last 5 years, and some carriers even use the last 7 years.

In South Dakota when your SD license is suspended or revoked due to driving without insurance the return of your license will also depend upon you filing a SR-22 insurance policy which will prove to the state that you have valid insurance on all of your cars in your possession.
According to South Dakota law if you have been convicted of an infraction (No Insurance, DWI, Failure to Pay a Judgment, Vehicular Homicide or 2 (two) Reckless Driving in a year) you will be required to carry an SR-22 insurance policy. This coverage and filing will require you to show proof of insurance to the state for 3 years, that all cars you own are insured. If you do not own any cars, you must buy a non-owner or operator policy.
