So I just received a speeding ticket traveling on PR-66 from Fajardo to SJ. The officer said he clocked me going 79 mph in a 65. I am trying to figure out how to pay it. Doing to little research it seems I have to go to a "Colecture" or "CESCO" or directly to the DTOP license center. Not really sure what the differences are and where I should go. Can I mail it in or better pay it online? I've been told I need to make sure I get the receipt. Does anyone have any insight?
More importantly, I am concerned about points. I don't seem to find much information. There is a section on my ticket called "PUNTOS" but the officer left it blank. He said sometimes he put points there but he didn't but that the DTOP decides the points. Does anyone have any resources explaining the point system here.
In particular: Will I get any, if so so how many? What is the maximum when they suspend your license? When do they expire? Will the insurance company know about it, will it increase my premium?
I know from the states that speeding tickets can end up costing you 5-10x the fine over the next years in increased insurance premiums.
This brings me to my 3rd concern. If there are points and I want to fight this ticket, does anyone have experience going through the process? Is an attorney recommended?
Thanks everyone for time reading this!
