Auto Insurance Increase Because of Out of State Speeding Ticket
Reader’s Question:
My girlfriend was driving in Virginia and received a ticket for going 83 in a 65. She is from Delaware. Since the violation happened in another state, will this reflect on her driving record? Will this increase her auto insurance rate in Wilmington, Delaware?
Nicolas
Wilmington, DE
Your home state Delaware (DE) and Virginia (VA) are both members of the Drivers License Compact (DLC). This compact requires its member states to report out-of-state moving violations committed by a person to his or her home state.
Driving for over 23 mph beyond the speeding limit is considered a 6 point offense in Virginia. On the other hand, speeding over 20 mph in Delaware is given a 5 point offense. In addition, if a driver is found to be driving 20 – 24 miles beyond the limit, the DE Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) would send a letter of advisory to the driver.
Since your girlfriend was ticketed in Virginia for over speeding, the Virginia DMV would report to Delaware DMV her traffic violation. The Delaware DMV includes on a driver’s record all the traffic violations committed whether it happened in Delaware or out-of-state. However, it does not say though if there would be points assigned if a traffic violation is done out-of-state.
You must remember though that auto insurance rate does not depend on the points given to the driver per se but to the violation itself. Since there was indeed a violation for over speeding committed by your girlfriend, there is a possibility that this would increase her auto insurance rate but that still depends on her insurer. If she sees an increase on her car insurance premium, I would suggest shopping for affordable car insurance rates in Wilmington, DE through our website.
Do You Need To Have Proof of Car Insurance in North Carolina
Reader’s Question:
Are you required to have proof of auto insurance with you while driving in Durham North Carolina?
Greg
Durham, NC
You can verify with the North Carolina state statutes, to check if it specifically notes that proof of insurance must be with at all times while driving or not.
Even if the state statute does not expressly note that the insurance card must be in a car while they are driving, it is always advisable to have the vehicle’s insurance card with the car in case a police officer requests proof of insurance or if you must provide this insurance information to others after being in a crash.
For more North Carolina insurance laws inquiries try contacting the NC Department of Insurance.
Commuter Car Insurance Coverage Question
Reader’s Question:
Is it legal to include “commuting to work” if I only work 1-2 days a week, and if this isn’t my main work? What would happen if I get involve in an accident on the way to this part time job? Would I be covered under comprehensive coverage?
Bart
Los Angeles, CA
Basically, comprehensive coverage covers your car, and sometimes other cars you may be driving for losses resulting from accidents other than collision. For instance, comprehensive coverage insurance covers damage to your vehicle if it is stolen; or damaged by fire, flood, or animals. (It will pay to fix your car less the deductible you choose.)
Now, if you are talking about having an accident with another car, you would be talking about collision coverage then to help fix your car. Regarding your other concern, concealment or keeping information from your insurance provider and material misrepresentation by not telling the truth to your insurance carrier gives your insurance carrier grounds for voiding your car insurance policy. This means the insurance provider, will give you back any monies you paid into your auto insurance policy, and you will be stuck paying for the claims resulting from the accident.
Also, your insurer will probably not void it unless the case creates an increase in insurance rate or creates a situation that they would normally not insure. If you commute to and from work, where no business use is done in relation to your work, this is considered pleasure use. If this is the case, your car insurance rate should not change – unless your insurer rates your premiums based on your car’s daily mileage. Your best option is to contact your insurance provider. Let them know about your part time job and, let your insurance carrier determine your best course of action for your auto insurance needs.

Do I Need SR22 Auto Insurance if I Have Full Coverage Now
Reader’s Question:
I have a full coverage when I received DWI? Do I still need an sr-22?
Melanie
Good question Melanie.
This case may vary from state to state. Generally though, you need an sr-22 if you did not pass or comply to your states financial responsibility at the time that you were cited for DWI. Most people would use the term “full coverage” to refer to the physical damage coverage.Physical coverage actually consists of collision and comprehensive coverage. The collision coverage generally covers the damage to the vehicle cause by collision in an accident. Comprehensive coverage on the other hand covers any damages to your car caused by vandalism, glass breakage and even theft. The state would require you to have the minimum liability coverage of certain bodily injury and property damage liability at the time of your DWI.
So if you need a “hardship” license to go to work for instance, you will definitely need an sr-22. This may be available in the current insurance company that you have.
Goodluck!
