Your Driving Record

Have a Ticket? Your Insurance Options Can Vary by Company.

Insurance companies have their own underwriting rules. The type and number of convictions, when they occurred, your accident history and your overall insurance history can all affect pricing and eligibility.

1

One Minor Ticket

A single minor conviction does not automatically mean every driver requires high-risk insurance. Your available options depend on the insurer and the rest of your driving history.

2

Multiple Tickets

Several convictions can affect both pricing and the number of standard insurance markets available to you.

3

Serious Convictions

More serious driving convictions can have a greater impact on eligibility and may require different insurance markets.

4

Tickets + Accidents

Insurers look at your overall driving record. A combination of convictions and at-fault accidents can materially change the available options.

What Types of Tickets Can Affect Car Insurance?

Moving convictions can be considered by insurance companies when they assess your driving record. The effect depends on the specific conviction, your history and the insurer's underwriting rules.

Speeding Tickets

A speeding conviction may affect your auto insurance pricing or eligibility depending on the circumstances and your overall record.

Distracted Driving

Distracted-driving convictions can have significant insurance consequences and may affect which insurance markets are available.
