Is a speeding ticket a moving violation?

I got a speeding ticket yesterday and I’m nervous about its effects on my driving record and insurance. I know that moving violations cause your rates to increase, but does a speeding ticket count as a moving violation?

Unfortunately, a speeding ticket is a moving violation. In general, a moving violation is a type of traffic infraction involving a moving vehicle. Other than speeding, this could include running a red light or stop sign, tailgating, illegal U-turns, or even serious violations like reckless driving or DUIs.
While moving violations will increase your insurance rates, more extreme violations will come with more expensive rates. If you’re stressed about your updated insurance rates after a speeding ticket, the
