To know exactly if a not wearing a seat belt ticket will make your auto insurance rates to rise in Cambridge MA I suggest that you can call the Massachusetts Division of Insurance. The Massachusetts Division of Insurance sets the car insurance rates for the state every year.

If you do not with a traffic citation, you must appeal it through the court. Traffic violations cannot be appealed to the Merit Rating Board or Division of Insurance Board of Appeals.
