Normally, an insurance company gouges you for 3 years after the date of
the speeding ticket.  If the insurance company does not learn about the
ticket for a full year after the date of the ticket, your rates will
only be raised for 2 years.  This is what I was told by my insurance
company (State Farm) after they found out about a speeding ticket a
year after that nice officer friendly issued the ticket.

p.s. I actually finished that whole paragraph without mentioning that IMHO
     speeding tickets and insurance rates should have nothing to do with each
     other!!!
