A popular question you often hear from new drivers and also some seasoned road warriors is ‘what’s the difference between a citation vs. a ticket?’. Additionally, besides just wondering ‘what is a ticket?’ and ‘what is a citation?’, you may be wondering how these may affect your car insurance and your driving record. While the exact answers to some of these questions may vary slightly by where you live, the general concepts are the same across the board.

Is there a difference between a citation and a ticket?
