Seattle Car insurance companies will only find out about any traffic or moving tickets if it is placed on your MVR or motor vehicle report. So if the speeding ticket does not go on your driving history, your insurance providers will not find out about it.

But, if you received a speeding ticket, it might be placed on your motor vehicle report. The law enforcement officer was probably referring to traffic school. The violation may appear up on your driving record, if you take traffic class, but the DMV points will not so your car insurance carrier may not be able to know anything about it. Basically, your speeding ticket is minor violation. You might not see any change in your car insurance rates in Seattle Washington if this is your first ticket since, most insurance providers do not charge for a single minor violation.
