So 2 years ago i had 2 speeding tickets. Just now they notice it. My insurance went up $500. Well if they had of done their job 2 years ago comapred to now. Not the appropriate time. I asked about the increase when i buy a new car like curious as i want to make sure i have the money in my account. She told me about this app thats possible to download as well that travks your driving. Iam not sure about that.

@ricki_911 That makes absolutely no sense. I don't understand why you guys would pay the same, if he gets into more accidents and gets more tickets.

@dodo19 exactly!!! He drives an older car but its an SUV vs i drive a car (so the insurance is more on his). But he's been in accidents and speeding tickets. I havent had a ticket in 2 years then before that was least 4 or 5 years.

Holy buckets thats a huge increase. Whos your company? I have Progressive and they are relatively cheap. I alao drive an older car though too. I recently did their Snapshot driving program and it saves me 49 cents per month. Hardly huge savings but ill still take it.

Intact. I've been with them for years. Insurance is basically out to get you. Yet, i even said well if someone hit me you wouldnt even cover the damage costs so realky I'll always be out money and the cost goes up.

Thats the cheapest i can find without loosing the coverage. My coverage is full because seriously if someone hits me they are paying me. My friend didnt have it and lost her car then was screwed.

I heard if you put some kind of machine in your car that monitors your driving it can reduce your payments.
