Is a seatbelt violation surchargeable in Massachusetts?
Will a seatbelt violation cause my car insurance rates to go up in Massachusetts? I know some traffic tickets are surchargeable in my state, but I don’t know which ones.

Nope, a seatbelt violation is not surchargeable in Massachusetts! This means that even if you get a seatbelt ticket your
Massachusetts car insurance rates
will not increase as a result.Traffic infractions that are surchargeable in Massachusetts include things like:
- An at-fault accident
- A speeding ticket
- Running a red light
If you have received a ticket or been otherwise convicted of a traffic offense, however, the resulting surcharge on your
car insurance
will last for six years.To make sure you’re still getting the best rates available after a surchargeable offense, check out the
