I didn't stop for a school bus when it's lights were flashing, and I got a ticket. I know I have to pay that, but will the ticket affect the price I pay for car insurance?
Some tickets don't require you to report them to your insurance agent. Is this one of those.
Also, this was in the state of Massachusetts.

In Massachusetts moving violations are reported to your insurance company by the RMV. On the plus side, if it is your first violation your insurance shouldn't go up (but it also won't go down either).

Some insurance companies don't raise your rate for just 1 ticket, I sell AIG and Infinity insurance and both of these companies give good driver discounts even if you have 1 ticket. If you have more than 1 ticket already then your premium will probably go up when you renew your policy.

it may depend on the number of points assigned to this violation. usually under a given number of points within a certain time frame will not raise insurance rates. for example, i got a speeding ticket worth four points. after two years the points are erased and i start fresh. however, over a certain number of points in a given time frame and you become a higher risk. and as the other writer said, u dont report to insurance, the state does. we all make mistakes, try not to repeat the really dumb ones. busdrivers have cell phones and will immediately call you in as they should.

In Massachusetts this is considered a moving traffic violation. The Registry of Motor Vehicles will notify your insurance company. Your points will increase, so you will pay more.

there is fairly some incorrect information right here. to illustrate, there is no regulation in California which says you may want to stop on a yellow gentle, notwithstanding it really is against the law to enter the intersection after the gentle grew to grow to be pink, it extremely is what the officer says you probably did. Your odds of convincing a juvenile site visitors officer that you're ideal and the officer is incorrect are low. site visitors college is permissible after a tribulation, yet some listening to officials are a lot less in all danger to provide it then than others. notwithstanding, i ought to admit i'm no longer an authority in JUVENILE site visitors concerns, and also you'll be going to juvenile site visitors court docket with a ascertain. you do not have a range of "in basic terms paying the fee ticket," even with the reality that you do have a call even if to plead in charge or no longer. site visitors college might want to be available in case you do not elect to contest the fee ticket.

It may affect your insurance - it depends on your agent, if he runs your DMV check when he renews your policy, and the ticket shows up, it is a possibility that your insurance may increase.

Its as simple as this, if you inform your insurance agency of this violation, or they see it, your rates will rise! But since the ticket your refering to doesn't need to be viewed by your insurance or sent in, then my good friend, you are off the hook!
Cheers!

Some times you are allowed to take traffic school, and I thought this wouldn't show up on the insurance record, but if you pay, it will. Didn't you study your driving book?
