A DUI, OR A WET RECKLESS, OR A NEGLIGENT DRIVING?

Tom Black
Serenity Insurance Group

When we find ourselves forced to make a decision to fight the DUI charge and have an attorney try to plea to a different charge, we need to keep certain things in mind.

Many people have a specific reason to avoid the DUI charge. Some will want to do anything to avoid the DUI charge on their records. This may be for several reasons, employment record or to qualify for certain life or disability insurance policies. Regardless of the final disposition, the driver is going to have to file an SR-22 filing with the state licensing authority (DMV, DPS, and DOL).

Here is the surprise: Most insurance companies CHARGE MORE PREMIUM FOR A WET RECKLESS CITATION OR A NEGLIGENT DRIVING TICKET THAN A DUI! Can you believe it? You can generally get lower cost insurance with a DUI than the Reckless Driving or Negligent Driving.

The reason is simple. Insurance companies set rates based on statistical data. More Reckless and Negligent Drivers get in accidents than DUI offenders

Although any one of these citations is difficult, please think twice about the outcome of a “reduced plea”, as it will generally be more expensive when you try to keep your auto insurance costs low.

Motorcycle Insurance has become a key target for Allstate

Allstate Corporation is attempting to attract motorcycle owners with the inception of a website that provides safety tips, an events calendar, and suggested scenic rides for bikers.

An advertising campaign geared towards motorcycle riders complements the site which includes ride stories from bike owners, mechanical advice, and a way to create a virtual online motorcycle.

Motorcycle sales have tripled in the last ten years, with more than seven million registrations in the United States, but Allstate has only captured a small portion of that market.

Progressive claims to be the largest motorcycle insurer in the U.S. and State Farm claims that it has about 15% of the market.

Kevin,

Thanks for the reply and the birthday thing was a big surprise coming from an insurance agency!! A real nice touch I plan on staying with you even after my SR22 requirements are over (on my last 6 months) since your (my company) is the only one that has always given me clear answers to all my questions no mater how minor they were, plus being the lowest price I could find was a big help also. After getting treated so well why would I want to go anywhere else?

AG sees more uninsured

Says ruling allows companies to reject auto owners

Attorney General Martha Coakley warned yesterday that a ruling by Insurance Commissioner Nonnie Burnes will mean more uninsured drivers on state roadways.

Coakley, consumer activists and even some insurance-industry officials were taken aback by recent comments by Burnes and her staff that insurers under the new “managed competition” system can reject potential customers if they want.

Cheap Insurance

WHY IS AN SR-22 SO IMPORTANT?

By Tom Black
Serenity Insurance Group

An SR-22 certificate is a proof of financial responsibility. In other words, it serves basically the same purpose as the insurance ID card most drivers carry in their glove compartments.

There is one BIG DIFFERENCE between the normal auto insurance card and an SR-22. If a driver with a SR-22 stops paying for his insurance, that company is required by law to notify the licensing department of that state (DMV, DPS, DOL) and that driver’s license will be automatically suspended, usually with no warning! The result is often an additional ticket for driving while license suspended, and the driver’s insurance policy will have to be re-written, usually with another down payment, and one more point charge for the new citation.

If you have an SR-22 proof of insurance, please do whatever it takes to make your payments, so you don’t have to subject yourself to another hassle with your auto insurance.

Whether you are a preferred driver looking for cheap car insurance or a high risk driver required to carry Form SR 22 insurance, Serenity Insurance can meet your needs. Do you need affordable auto insurance right now? Put us to the test! We work with a large number of companies to get the most competitive auto insurance rates for our customers.
