Not all companies are picky about minor violations.  Mine isn't. 
They rate me on their own internal point scale.  If I loose my
license for a violation, hang on, the bill will be in a 4 ft x 6 ft
envelope.  I've been with them since high school (1969) and my rates
have gone up and down, but never went up just because of a ticket.
I even had a major accident when I was in Long Island, demolished two 
cars and the other driver had minor injuries, but I didn't get nailed.
Seems the police report of the accident said it was blamed on a 
mechanical failure (A brake line burst).  My agent told me that it would
have been different if I had anything else on my record at the time though.

My dad has worked for an insurance agency for over 20 years, and he told me
the safest drivers (from the companies standpoint of possible claims) are
the drivers with an occasional minor speeding ticket.
