Final answer:

The pronoun reference in the sentence is incorrect. The pronoun 'your' should be replaced with 'their' to avoid ambiguity.


Step-by-step explanation:

The pronoun reference in the sentence is incorrect. The pronoun 'your' is used to refer to the driver, but it creates ambiguity because it could also refer to another person. To correct this, the pronoun 'their' can be used instead of 'your' to indicate that the increase in insurance cost is for any driver involved in a moving violation.
