So I got this speeding ticket...

What a weird idea that your insurance rates can go up if you collect enough speeding tickets (allthough, perhaps it's not that weird). Isn't it considered a breach of your privacy if the police informs your private insurance company about your speeding ticket(s)?

Here, your insurance rate only goes up if you cause an accident and your insurance has to pay.

Police also hardly pulls anyone over here. There's a speeding camera, it flashes, you get the information about the fine and how to do the payment in your mailbox a few days later and that's it. Pass a certain treshold and you'll face a lawsuit, though.
