Is impeding traffic a moving violation in Michigan?

I’m a new driver, so I tend to be overly cautious, but I just got a ticket for impeding traffic! Is this considered a moving violation in Michigan?

Impeding traffic is a moving violation in Michigan.
According to
Michigan traffic laws
, any traffic infraction that happens while the vehicle is in motion is a moving violation. So, speeding or going too slowly, driving carelessly, drunk driving, and running a red light are all examples of moving violations.
Whether or not this violation will impact your
Michigan car insurance cost
really depends on your insurance company. Each insurance provider has a different formula for determining your level of risk, and some companies may view impeding traffic as a sign of unsafe driving.
