The best man in my wedding owned a tire and auto repair chain (25 stores or so) in California and Las Vegas. He got several speeding tickets every year, usually commuting between SoCal and Las Vegas, but also many in Orange and LA counties. Once, he got a ticket NB I15 on one day and the very next day, SB on I215... from the same CHP. lol.
Anyway, His lawyer would find out the court date and on that day my buddy would fail to appear on the speeding infraction would turn to a misdemeanor warrant that day at close of court business.
The following day, the lawyer would go to court, plead guilty to the misdemeanor failure to appear, pay the fine and the speeding infraction did not show in his drivers history. It would show a dozen misd warrants as dismissed but no moving violations.
I have no idea how that may have affected his insurance but I doubt that it did, because he had a dozen pickup trucks and box trucks and I never heard him mention it.
One other thing, I don't think that it was horribly expensive to have that done. I'm pretty sure that this attorney was a traffic offense ONLY attorney. I do remember meeting him a time or two (my buddy had 8 Angels season tickets and 4 Dodgers season tickets) and the guy was not very impressive.
