I think there are 'Points' involved, but I have no idea what they mean or add up to, insurance wise. If you get an outrageous number of points, your license gets pulled, but this is the first time ever (11+ years of driving) in which Person A has any tickets/incidents.
Insurance companies will raise rates after a moving violation with points; the amount will depend on a variety of factors. It may not be a lot, since you've been driving for a while, but there's a 99% chance it'll increase. In most states, a moving violation will stay on your record for 3 years, which means you'll have elevated insurance rates for those 3 years. It's up to you to decide if that's worth it.
