If you are thinking of driving even though you have already drunk some, don’t. Driving under the influence of alcohol will only bring you trouble because needless to say, you are putting not just yourself and your passengers in danger but also other people. DUI is also considered a criminal offense in every state, and having this offense will surely affect you in many ways, especially financially.
Normally, the penalties for having a DUI offense involve suspension of your driver’s license and driving privileges. It also depends on the number of offenses, but the penalties may all include serving time in jail and paying a certain amount of fee. The laws in different states have different policies regarding this matter, so you will just have to check with your automobile insurance company or visit Florida’s Department of Motor Vehicles Web site.
Furthermore, having a DUI offense marks your driving records. As of recently, the laws in each state are getting stricter with the penalties and the implementation in order to diminish the number of incidents on the road involving DUI. One of these penalties is the tagging system in some states which identifies a DUI offender through some sticker or mark in his vehicle. According to studies, this system has been efficient in lowering the cases involving DUI.
And lastly, you will also go through the hassle of filing an SR-22 form with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles because this is a requirement for DUI offenders. Carrying an SR-22 automobile insurance policy, which is another type of automotive insurance policy that costs really high, will also be required of you. And to top the list, a DUI offense instantly makes you a high-risk driver, and this shall definitely increase the amount of your automobile insurance policy.
Now, I hope that you realize that DUI is a serious matter. So, if I were you just take a cab.

Comprehensive Auto Insurance Manchester, New Hampshire NH
Reader’s Question:
Hey there. I live in Manchester, New Hampshire, and I was wondering about the difference between collision and comprehensive coverage.

Joshua, it’s actually pretty easy to differentiate these two. Collision coverage is when you are involved in an accident where there actually is a collision with something, like another car. Collision automotive insurance covers the cost of the any repairs that would be needed for your vehicle, but it is only to as much as vehicle’s price which a willing seller and willing buyer would agree upon under the current market conditions, without being under threat. But if your car is leased or financed, automobile gap insurance would come in handy to pay for the difference between what you owe and what the vehicle is worth.
Usually, collision coverage comes with the cost that you pay for repairs before the auto insurance policy becomes in effect. This is what we call insurance deductibles. I suggest that you pay for higher deductible because this will make the cost of your policy go down.
On the other hand is the comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage involves the damages caused by anything other than a collision. Examples of this are vandalism, theft, fire, theft, hurricane, or even if you are just storing your vehicle at home and it gets damaged. Comprehensive coverage works the same way as collision coverage.
Typically, drivers avail of both these coverage, but it is not really required legally there in Manchester, New Hampshire as in any state. If your vehicle is financed, collision and comprehensive auto insurance coverage will surely prove to be helpful.

Reader’s Question:
I just bought a new car in Baltimore, Maryland, and I’m shopping around for an affordable insurance policy. I heard advice from friends to get a higher deductible to lower the cost of my premium. Should I take their advice?
Gerry

If you think you have what it takes to be a responsible driver, you may want to think about increasing your deductibles to lower you car insurance premium payments. When I say deductibles, this is the amount you will personally have to shell out for any repairs or payments on your insurance claim. In one scenario, for example, if you have set your deductible to be $500, and you will need to have the car repaired for $2000 through your insurance claim, you will first have to pay your $500 share while your insurance company will pay for the remaining $1500 balance of the bill. A higher deductible might just be the key to getting your premium to your desired level. It will also make you think twice if you ever come up with the idea of driving down the freeway fast and furious style in Baltimore, Maryland. Please note however, that you should only offer to pay a deductible amount that is within your budget or capacity to pay if ever an unfortunate event does happen. Otherwise, your plan to save by getting a more affordable insurance premium will backfire since you will end up paying for most of the repair expenses out of your own pocket.
