Car Insurance Question  If I recieve a ticket for driving in the carpool lane alone and I pay the ticket does it still go on my record and does my car insurance go up?

Yes it will go on your record. It may or may not affect your insurance depending on the state and company guidelines.

If it was your first ticket, you might not see any change in your rates. Some states have laws governing when and why auto insurers can change policyholders' premiums; often, insurers are not allowed to raise your rates after just one minor violation. Different companies have different practices when it comes to raising premiums. Some companies will consider the severity of your violation and raise your rates accordingly; others will raise rates a specific amount per violation.
