I'm a Connecticut resident/driver, and while on vacation in Martha's Vineyard, MA received a speeding ticket (55 in a 35). Called my lawyer immediately, and he told me to simply "pay it, it won't show up in CT". Hope he was right!
It won't show up. Connecticut does not accept moving violations from Massachusetts. I purposely keep my license and registration for my autos in CT while I live in MA for just that reason. 3 speeding tickets in the last 2 years and my insurance has me discounted for a 5 year clean driving record.

Because the cost of insurance is reletive to you, your driving record and the state you live in, You need to call your agent and ask him. In MA however, if you have had no other violations it should only take your points from a step 9 to a 10, but for 6 long years. Probably cost you an extra $100/yr. Ask your agent. DO you have a good relationship with him? 4lifeguild

I recently received a speeding ticket in New Hampshire. If I plead guilty and pay the fine will this hit my MA insurance rates?
Yes, I believe it will.
All driving infractions affect your insurance. Drive safely!
Speeding tickets affect your insurance rates for at least 3 years in most states.

Most likely it will affect both.
== == NO, but it WILL affect your car insurance costs.
A speeding ticket of 10mph less will affect your insurance directly. Premiums often go up and remain high for extended periods of time.
No. Speeding tickets are issued to the driver not the vehicle.
Speeding tickets and other accidents and violations will affect your auto insurance rates no matter what state you are in. The speed at which you were speeding can also affect your rates. One minor ticket will make very little difference in your insurance rate. Some companies do not increase your rate for just one minor violation in a three year period. It depends on the insurance company and their regulations.

Yes, a speeding ticket will affect your insurance rate. The good news is each insurance company has different rates. It depends on how many speeding tickets you have had, or if this is the first one. If you have a speeding ticket you may want to look into traffic school to wipe it off your record and keep your rates unaffected.
Yes
I got a speeding ticket in Montreal over 10 years ago and didn't pay it - will I be able to return there without paying it?
