In truth, any kind of moving violation can affect your insurance. The factor to consider is how much each type of violation will increase your rates. Reckless driving or
a DUI
, for example, would likely increase your
car insurance
rates a lot more than a speeding ticket. Think about it this way: anything that might add points to your driving record will probably change your car insurance premiums if only a little bit.
The types of traffic tickets that won’t affect your car insurance rates are called non-moving violations. These types of infractions occur while your car is not in motion and include things like parking tickets, faulty equipment, or failure to properly display a license plate.
