Do parking tickets raise insurance rates?

I got two parking tickets a few months ago. I noticed my insurance rate increased recently. Do parking tickets increase your insurance?

“Parking tickets typically won’t raise your
car insurance
rates. If you noticed a rate increase to your insurance at renewal, it probably isn’t related to your tickets.
However, it could be related if:
  • You didn’t pay for your tickets on time
  • Your license was suspended due to the tickets
Additionally, other tickets, accidents, or violations could have influenced your rate.
If you have a
clean driving record
, you may not find an exact reason why your rates increased. Car insurance companies change their rates frequently. Sometimes state-mandated insurance increases impact your bill as well.
If drivers in your area are filing more claims, this can also raise rates.
If you’re unhappy with your current rate, you always have the option to shop around. Car insurance rates vary, and you may be able to find a better rate with another company by using the
