Is impeding traffic a moving violation in Michigan?

I was babysitting the other day and had to make a run to the store. I was nervous about driving with the kid in the car, so I went extra slow to be on the safe side—but I got a ticket for impeding traffic! Is impeding traffic considered a moving violation in Michigan?

It’s sort of ironic that you caused a driving hazard by trying to be safe, but tickets are never fun, no matter how humorous. Unfortunately, impeding traffic is a moving violation in Michigan.
Whether or not this violation will impact your

really depends on your insurance company. Each insurance provider has a different formula for determining your level of risk, and some companies may view impeding traffic as a sign of unsafe driving.
