Massachusetts Safe Driver Insurance Plan

Your ticket costs more
than the fine.

Speeding ticket, any moving violation, or an at-fault accident — in Massachusetts the real cost is six years of insurance surcharge, not the ticket. Add what happened plus anything already on your record and see your true number.

Step 1
Who's driving?

Each surcharge point raises your compulsory and collision coverages by 15% for experienced operators, 7.5% for inexperienced.

SDIP surcharges apply to the compulsory coverages (Parts 1, 2, 4) and optional Collision (Part 7) — typically most, but not all, of your premium. Use the slider below to refine.

Step 2
The citation you're deciding to fight

Most Massachusetts CMVIs are 2-point minor violations — speeding, running a light or stop sign, marked-lanes, following too close, even a missing inspection sticker. Majors (OUI, operating to endanger) are 5; at-fault accidents are 3–4.

Step 3
Anything already on your record?

Add surchargeable incidents from the past 6 years. These stack on top of the new citation and matter for license-suspension thresholds.

This calculator is an educational illustration based on the figures you enter — not an insurance quote, a legal opinion, or a prediction of any outcome. Under the Massachusetts Safe Driver Insurance Plan, each surcharge point increases the compulsory coverages (Parts 1, 2 & 4) and optional Collision (Part 7) by 15% for experienced operators (licensed 6+ years) and 7.5% for inexperienced operators; your first minor non-criminal traffic violation in the prior 5 years carries no points. Actual premium impact depends on your insurer, coverages, territory, and full record. License-suspension thresholds are administered by the RMV Merit Rating Board and are summarized here for general information only. Confirm details with the Massachusetts SDIP rules and a licensed attorney before relying on them.
