Does a parking ticket go on your driving record?

I pulled up next to a red curb and ran inside to pick up a pizza. When I came back out, I had a parking ticket! Is this going to go on my driving record?

It happens to the best of us—we think we can beat the meter maid because our car will be there for just a second. Then, bam! You’re hit with a ticket. Thankfully,
parking tickets
don’t go on your driving record.
Only tickets for moving violations will go on your record, such as speeding or reckless driving. Other types of moving violations include:
  • Running a red light or stop sign
  • Failure to follow right-of-way
  • Driving between two lanes
  • Driving illegally on the shoulder
  • Passing a school bus when passengers are loading or unloading
These types of tickets will
impact your car insurance rates
, but you don’t have to worry about a parking ticket doing any damage.
