| | | PA ticket for 3111-A - Will it affect my insurance? Should I fight it?
What is the name of your state? PA
I got a ticket for running a yellow/red light today. The cop said he gave me a break and that the ticket is just a fine with no points.
I just wanted to make sure that he was telling the truth and that if I pay the fine it won't affect my insurance rates.
The violation is a 3111-A.
Thanks in advance for your assistance with this.

| | | You need to ask your insurance agent. While it is a no point ticket I think it still shows for insurance purposes. The officer gave you a break so you are not likely to have any luck fighting it anyway. |

Insurance companies have have their own scoring for violations. You need to check your policy or contact the company/agent to find out. |

| | | As far as the exact name of the citation, it says the following:
Charge Section & Subsection: 3111-A
Nature of Offense: Fail to obey traffic signals/markings
As far as fighting it goes, I've seen people get off just for showing up to a hearing and the judge was in a good mood. In Philadelphia (where this went down), the officers don't have to show up to the hearing. Instead a single officer acts as a proxy for all officers. Therefore, I could say the light was yellow when I entered the interesection and the judge can either believe it or not.

| | | This is a chargeable violation to insurance companies, so, ask your agent if your insurance company surcharges for it.

I will ask my agent but it seems that I should try and fight no matter what. It couldn't hurt could it?

Rob | The worst they could do is say no.
