Tickets issued by the police can indeed cause your insurance premiums to rise. When you receive a ticket for a traffic violation, such as speeding, running a red light, or reckless driving, it signals to your insurance company that you are a higher-risk driver. As a result, they may increase your insurance premiums to compensate for the increased likelihood of future claims.
Insurance companies consider various factors when determining premiums, and traffic tickets are one of the key factors that can lead to higher rates. The rationale behind this is that drivers who have received tickets in the past are statistically more likely to be involved in accidents or commit traffic violations in the future. Insurance companies use historical data to assess risk, and a driver with a history of tickets represents a higher risk.
