No, camera speeding tickets do not affect insurance in most states. Usually, speeding is treated as a non-moving violation when it’s caught on camera, making it similar to a parking ticket. If the driver pays the fine, the ticket will not appear on their driving record and therefore won’t affect their insurance rates.

Ten states don’t use speeding cameras at all, and nine states – including New York and North Carolina – explicitly ban insurers from raising rates based on speeding camera tickets.
