You may be able to obtain car insurance in Medford, Massachusetts if you have unpaid moving violations in another state if your license has not been suspended due the unpaid tickets in Illinois.

In Massachusetts traffic tickets, such as unpaid parking tickets, can prevent you from car registration or renewing your license. Without having a full valid license it will be hard to get car insurance in a different state or the same state. Also always remember that many states have extra fees for license reinstatement or car registration.

To keep your license from being revoked or suspended it is advisable to either fight it in court or pay the traffic ticket.

So if it is the traffic ticket affecting your driver’s record you may want to check if you can get the ticket removed or taken care of in such a way that your driving history is not affected.
