    How Much Is High-Risk Insurance

    High-risk drivers will pay more for their insurance costs. A driver can take the opportunity to get off of the risk list and go back into the standard insurance bracket where prices are more reasonable, but that will depend on the reasons they have been deemed a risk. With some of the categories, the only thing you can do is to wait it out.

    What Constitutes A High-Risk Insurance Policy

    A high-risk insurance policy is also referenced as non-standard auto coverage. You need to purchase the plan when a carrier decides you represent more risk for having an accident resulting in claim filing than the usual motorist. It’s an alternative plan to the standard auto coverage.

    Numerous reasons cause an insurance provider to deem a driver a higher risk than other motorists or, for some insurance carriers, not to offer coverage for these drivers at all. If you’re a high risk driver get an insurance quote from Young’s Insurance Brokers Burlington today. Motorists need to learn what would categorize someone to receive a non-standard policy.

    Some variables are beyond your control, including the driver’s age, not owning a vehicle with insurance for some time, being new to driving, and more. Categories of individuals that most carriers will consider as the riskiest include:

    1. Serious driving violations
    2. Teenage motorists beginning at the age of 16
    3. DWI/DUI convictions
    4. First-time driving
    5. Moving violations
    6. Aged drivers over 65
    7. Drivers with 0 or poor credit
    8. Lapses in insurance coverage

    The Cost Of The High-Risk Auto Plans

    The amount you’ll pay for these auto plans is different depending on the state you reside in and also will be based on age, credit, driving record, and of course, the many things denoted in the above list. But the price point is significantly higher than standard auto coverage.

    As an example, a motorist carrying multiple DUIs will pay substantially more than the standard if they can find a carrier that will cover them. Someone with only a few minor citations will likely only pay a slightly higher amount than standard. 

    Again, there are a lot of variables, with quotes ranging vastly depending on your location and reason for being dubbed a high-risk. Find out what a high-risk driver is at https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-a-high-risk-driver-52723#.

    How You Can Lower The High Price Point

    There’s not much you can do about age or the fact that you have infractions on your record, nor can you change the fact that there has been a substantial lapse in coverage. 

    Some risk factors can be worked through in an effort to lower the premium from such a high price point.

    1. Become a safe driver. Not only will other drivers on the road appreciate the effort, but after some time, you can save money by paying attention to the laws, avoiding driving while intoxicated, not texting or using the mobile while operating the car, slowing down your speed. You’d be surprised how much lower premiums will drop.
    2. Be patient as the driving record slowly begins to clear up. Depending on the violation, the process takes time, possibly a few years or longer. Until that time, it’s essential to maintain safety to avoid adding new things on.
    3. Improve your credit rating by concentrating on paying bills on time. Not many people are aware that having no credit at all or poor credit can negatively affect insurance premiums.
    4. Enroll in defensive driving classes. Any young drivers or those who haven’t driven in a while, perhaps first-time drivers, should look into getting a discount with their carrier if they finish a defensive driving class. That is generally something a provider will give a benefit for.

    Even teenage drivers have little opportunity to get lower rates by getting good grades, avoiding driving violations, and steering clear of any accidents in order to maintain a clean driving record. 

    The premium will continue to go down until the age of 25. Parents can also add a teen to their policy to save money on their premiums if they feel confident there won’t be an issue that would cause their coverage to go up. Go here for guidance on what you can do if you can’t find auto coverage.

    Final Thought

    When you take the time to drive safely, avoid citations and infractions on your record, and take classes to improve not only your driving but your credit, you stand to take more control over your risk as a motorist than you realize you have.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • Look what’s arrived in South Africa 🇿🇦

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
