Yes, when buying for auto insurance in Jackson, Mississippi, as part of the application process, you will be asked about any accidents, traffic violations, or car insurance claims you have had within a certain period of time. So you would need to inform the insurance company of any ticket you have been convicted of when shopping for car insurance quote.

If you do not include the violations on your car insurance application then your auto insurance quote will not be correct. If your insurance provider pull your motor vehicle record (MVR) and learn about the traffic violation convictions you did not list on your auto insurance application, it will be considered inaccurate. Once the infractions are known by the insurance carrier then your car insurance quote will need to be calculated again including tickets into account. You are just delaying the correct information on what your car insurance quote will be.
