Once this moving violation is placed on your Michigan motor vehicle record, your insurance company will see it next time they pull your MVR. At that time it will depend upon your insurance provider's rating system how much this citation will affect your rates.
You can find out about your insurance company's rating system either from contacting your insurance agent and asking for information on it or by contacting the Michigan Insurance Regulator with whom insurance companies must file their rates with.
