Can one ticket raise my car insurance rate?

I got a speeding ticket last month and my insurance is set to renew next month. I have a clean driving record apart from this ticket. Will my rate increase?

“Although you previously had a clean driving record, your
car insurance
rate could still increase due to a speeding ticket. Moving violations are one of the major factors of determining your rates and your risk, so even one ticket could have a profound impact. On average, car insurance rates can rise between 22% to 30% for a single ticket.
Since your policy is set to renew next month, your insurance will provide you with a policy premium that reflects your speeding ticket. Should your rate increase, you may still be able to find
affordable car insurance
by searching car insurance quotes online.”
