Does a parking ticket go on your driving record?

I pulled up next to a red curb and ran inside to pick up a pizza. When I came back out, I had a parking ticket! Is this going to go on my driving record?

Cassandra Hamilton · Updated on Mar 1, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

It happens to the best of us—we think we can beat the meter maid because our car will be there for just a second. Then, bam! You’re hit with a ticket. Thankfully,

parking tickets

don’t go on your driving record.

Only tickets for moving violations will go on your record, such as speeding or reckless driving. Other types of moving violations include:

Running a red light or stop sign

Failure to follow right-of-way

Driving between two lanes

Driving illegally on the shoulder

Passing a school bus when passengers are loading or unloading

These types of tickets will

impact your car insurance rates

, but you don’t have to worry about a parking ticket doing any damage.

If you want to keep your rates low—with or without moving violations—check out the

app for the lowest rates from over 50 insurance companies. It takes just 45 seconds for Jerry to find the best quotes, then all you have to do is pick your price and coverage.
