The tickets received by the driver and passengers in your vehicle in Marietta, Georgia are not likely to affect your auto insurance rates because they were given to the driver and passenger of the car, which you were not one of. It seems like neither the vehicle nor you received any violations so in most states including Georgia there should be nothing to go on your driving record therefore nothing for the insurance carrier to see regarding the incident.
The driver and passenger in your vehicle though have to take care of the tickets they received. Depending in what state the infractions happened, the penalty for the tickets could be $25 to $500.
