My car insurance rates have never changed from any of my tickets. I have state farm(full coverage), progressive(motorcycle), and viking insurance out of wisconsin(Broad Form Liability). Never once have any of them asked about my speeding tickets. From what I understand the only way the insurance company finds out is if you,the ticketed, tells them about it. The court does not report to your insurance agency.
Oh, and if your in other states the points deductions do not count on your home state drivers license. So when I run across the states I haul ass. I'll gladly pay for time.
Now I have no idea how insurance and government work in Canada, or any of the other countries reading this.
