Reader’s Question:

When do you inform your insurance provider in you received a traffic ticket? After you receive the ticket or when you go to court? I need to find a great rate on Indiana auto insurance, where and whom should I talk to?

At renewal typically each insurer re-underwrites your policy and/or offers a renewal rate for your auto insurance policy. At this time, you should inform them about any new traffic tickets.

There may be some insurance policy guidelines or specifications that require you to inform them of traffic violations during your insurance policy period, but that is mainly for risks or accidents that they may be responsible to help cover you.

Generally, moving violations go on your driving record, so that an insurance carrier in Elkhart, IN can see them when they run your Motor Vehicle Record (MVR), after you had plead guilty or otherwise are found guilty.
