Does a New York driver have to notify his insurance company about a guilty plea on a North Carolina speeding ticket?

No. A driver should never notify his insurance company about a speeding ticket. The burden is on the insurance company to check your record and adjust the rates. Also, a North Carolina speeding ticket will not apply to your New York license. New York is one of the few states left that does not accept speeding tickets from any state. The only out of state ticket that will count against your NY license is in the province of Ontario.

Just to add..............If you don't tell the insurer about ALL your CONVICTIONS, in ANY jurisdiction, they can legally cut you off, because you lied/obfuscated/covered it up. And once one company cuts you off, you will have a very hard time getting ANY insurance coverage at all. Do I have to tell you that ALL insurance companies TALK to each other about bad risk drivers?
