It is generally a point to year ratio... if those tickets are spread out, it should never bother your insurance. If you get tagged with numerous citations back to back to back, that is where you will see a huge hit.
The people that say get a lawyer, call the DA or SA, plea for a less-included charge are making it much harder than it needs to be.
If you want a lawyer, fine... get one and have him represent you in court. Most in Florida will charge you 50-70 dollars and will guarantee no points and no extra fines included (I know you are not FL, but it an example and I have seen the same advertisements across FL lines..)
However, in most cases.. go yourself to court. Cop doesn't show you win. Cop does show and just inform the judge you would rather get community service at your local church or the Y..most will also get it reduced to no points in most instances and possibly a minimal fine.
It baffles me that some people treat these like murder charges...
