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.

All driving infractions affect your insurance. Drive safely!
Speeding tickets affect your insurance rates for at least 3 years in most states.
Yes, a speeding ticket received in New York can affect your Massachusetts driving record. Massachusetts participates in the Interstate Compact, which allows states to share information about traffic violations. As a result, the New York ticket may be reported to Massachusetts, potentially leading to points on your driving record and possible increases in insurance rates.

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.
