First 'Major' ticket

Even if they don't reduce the charges, your insurance is not affected until after the conviction. It will also be off your record 5yrs after the offense date so if it takes a year to get a court date, then you only have 4yrs to go until it clears your record.

i have been told that the ticket is off your insurance record after 3 years, 4 if points are involved... well thats my insurance company
