Receive a speeding ticket and you can expect an increase in your insurance premiums. The amount of the increase depends on many factors including age, sex, type of car, prior tickets, etc.

Companies view these factor differently so it pays to shop around if you feel that your rates are too high. Keep in mind that a good agent is your best asset if something should happen.

Insurance companies assign points for the items on your MVR. These are completely from driver's license points. The more points, the higher your premiums. FYI not all states have a point system.

Getting a ticket does not increase your insurance. Only being convicted of a crime does (or if you voluntarily plead to a crime).

It depends if you receive points on your license or not. No points really doesn't affect the insurance rates, but rates will increase if you receive points on your license.AnswerYes, a speeding ticket will most likely increase an insurance policy. Every year at renewal the motor vehicle report is run. If there is a ticket, the insurance company has the right to surcharge the policy (upwards of 15%) because of the ticket. The charge will depend on the severity of the ticket and it will only be applied at renewal. The surcharge will remain on the policy for three policy years.
