Every insurer will have a different policy on rate increases following a moving violation. If you have an otherwise clean driving record, some insurers might forgive your first moving violation, meaning it will not affect your rates. Similarly, you might have the option of attending traffic school to get the ticket taken off of your record, in which case it would also not impact your premiums. If you have this option, take it. Alternatively, you could go to traffic court to try to fight the ticket. When it comes to fighting traffic tickets, showing up is half the battle. Chances are, the officer who wrote you the ticket won’t show up, and even if he/she does, you have a good chance of getting the ticket reduced to a non-moving violation. A non-moving violation will cost you less money in fines and will have no impact on your insurance rates.
