Car Insurance Question  I got a speeding ticket in Quebec, Canada for doing 155km/h in a 100km/h limit. I am from MA. Is there an agreement between Massachusetts and Quebec and will it affect my insurance? Also it says 7 points on the ticket, how much is that in MA points?

We could not find Massachusetts had an agreement with Quebec but they may have a reciprocal agreement that is not listed in the MA driver's manual or might have made an agreement since the last manual was published.

We did find in the Quebec Highway Safety Code Regulations that this Canadian providence has reciprocal agreements with the States such as New York and Florida regarding traffic violations. Massachusetts might have an agreement that was not listed so contact the MA Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to find out for certain.

The MA RMV can be contacted on the phone at 1-800-858-3926. They should be able to provide information on what states and Canadian territories they have agreements with to exchange information regarding traffic violation. You can also ask if Canadian tickets will affect the driving record of a MA resident, including if points are assessed.

If insurance points are assigned for this speeding citation in Canada it would be 2 according to the 2006 SDIP surcharge points list. With these points your insurance would be affected. To find out how MA insurance points affect your insurance rates, check with the Massachusetts Division of Insurance. They have an informational fact sheet regarding the Safe Driver Insurance Plan on their website (www.mass.gov/doi/Consumer/WaysToSave_SDIP.html).
