What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
California
1. Got pulled over for driving in commuter lane in SF/Bay Bridge car pool lane.
Insurance company told me that this violation is NOT counted as a point or will not raise your insurance rate. Only speeding, running red lights, collisions etc will count against your driving record and raise rates.
2. Filed a SR-1 report (financial responsibility on reporting) with DMV on another situation (No citation) and insurance company said this will not raise insurance rate even though it shows collision on driving record because nothing on claim was paid out and claim has been closed.
Now I have read just the opposite of the above information even in California. Which is true?
I'm going to go with what insurance company has told me.
On the car pool violation I'm unable to find what the penalty fee is. If you show up in court to make plead and request traffic school does the judge have the authority to send you to traffic school even if it has been one year since one has attended traffic school since here you are only permitted to attend traffic school once every 18 months?
What are the chances of having judge admonish citation and if not that have penalty fee reduced and made payable on some type of monthly plan?
