Question

Do I need to report a fix-it ticket when applying for new auto insurance?

I recently received a ticket for expired car registration. Since I got it taken care of within 20 days they said it won't show up on my driving record. Do I need to report fix-it tickets when applying for new auto insurance?

As long as your license wasn't suspended as a result — or other violations that affect your driving record — you do not have to report fix-it tickets to your insurance company. Insurers typically will only rate against moving violations that show up on your motor vehicle record (MVR).

Do parking tickets affect insurance?

Parking tickets do not get reported to your state's DMV so this type of ticket won't affect your insurance rate. One major caveat is whether or not you pay off the ticket.

What coverage do I need if I hit a deer?

Normally when you are driving and hit something in the road then the damage would be covered under collision. However, hitting a deer (or any other animal) is considered a comprehensive claim since it is an unexpected variable and falls under the category of an "act of god," much like hail damage or vandalism.
