Do carpool tickets affect your insurance?

I received a ticket for driving in a carpool lane. I was told it was a non moving violation, so it wouldn't be on my record. Is this true?

“Depending on where you live, you may be able to pay a carpool ticket without it reflecting on your record.
If non-moving violations aren’t reported to the state DMV and don’t have points attached to them, the ticket won’t show up on your driving record. If it doesn’t, your
car insurance
won’t be affected. However, if you don’t pay the ticket or it’s a moving violation, you may see your car insurance rates increase.
When you don’t pay for tickets, you can face additional fees and tickets. These can lead to a license suspension, which car insurance companies will be able to see. Any moving violation, even if it doesn’t have points attached, will also be listed.
Anytime this happens, car insurance companies may choose to increase your rate as you are considered a higher-risk driver. If you notice an increase in your car insurance rates, use the
