I’m sorry to hear that Chucky. I’m not sure if you’re gonna like my answer but both the states of California and Arizona are members of Drivers License Compact. This compact allows its member states to exchange information a bout a non-resident’s traffic violations and suspensions and forward those information to the violator’s home state.
So in your case, since it happened in Arizona, once you’re convicted of the speeding violation and paid the fine, the Arizona Department of Transportation will send that information to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
If I’m not mistaken, under the CA DMV rules, a speeding ticket is given one (1) point offense on your driving record. You might to verify that information with the CA DMV just to make sure.
Now, as to your question if it’s going to affect cheap car insurance young drivers in California, that still depends on your auto insurance company’s guidelines. There’s a chance that it will increase since it’s over speeding offense. I knew someone who was ticketed for over speeding and after that violation his auto insurance rates gone up. I’m not saying that this is exactly what’s gonna happen to you. But, if you see changes on your cheap car insurance young drivers in California, then you can shop for car insurance rates online to check for another cheaper car insurance rates that you can get.
