You did not mention if you and your son live in WV and have West Virginia driver's licenses. If you do, then the speeding offense, for driving 16 mph over the speed limit, would normally be placed on your son's driving record once your son paid the fine and was thus convicted of the violation.

If instead your son lives in another state and received the ticket in WV as he was passing through, it is still likely that this traffic ticket will be placed on your son's driver's history. This is due to the fact that 46 states are members of the Drivers License Compact which allows the States' courts and DMVs to exchange information regarding the moving violations their licensed drivers receive out of state.

Once the speeding violation is placed on your son's driving history then his insurance company will see that traffic offense the next time they run his motor vehicle record (MVR). The insurance company is not notified directly of the traffic ticket but see it on a person's driving record.

Depending upon your son's insurance company's rating system this ticket could affect his rates. For your son to find out about his insurance provider's rating system and if his rates will change due to this traffic ticket, he will need to contact them directly.
