Hi! I just received a speeding ticket out of state and I am wondering if this will make my car insurance cost go up? I have a good student discount and I would my insurance company find out about the speeding ticket or not? I got it in WI and I live in Bloomington, Illinois.

Virginia car owners who are uninsured or have not paid the UMV fee will have their vehicle registration and driving privileges suspended. To have your license reinstated the driver must pay a $500 statutory fee, file a an SR-22 or Financial Responsibility Insurance Certificate with the Department of Motor Vehicle for three years and pay a reinstatement fee.
Being cited for driving uninsured will result in fines, cancellation of the registration on all cars that you own or co-own and suspension of your driver’s license. To check the amount of your fine, call the court listed on the citation since the amount can differ depending on the jurisdiction in which you received the ticket. Some VA courts have a system in which you can pay the fine online.
