Thank you for that question Jane.

No, a conviction is different from receiving a speeding ticket. When you receive a ticket, it only means that you have been cited for a certain offense. On the other hand, a conviction usually means that you have been found guilty of the certain offense. Those who have received a ticket, for instance a speeding ticket, will choose if he/she would plead guilty and get convicted of the offense, or fight the citation in court.

If you are a convicted drivers and your car insurance went up because of that, there are many ways that yo can do to lower your car insurance.
