I’ve got this friend of mine who got caught by the police while drunk driving. This is called DUI in the police jargon and it’s very serious, as it has implications in more areas than I would have ever imagined.

For instance, the fine is very high and it also comes with your driving license suspension ans with a court trial that may land you in jail. This is why you need to spend additional money for hiring a good lawyer to defend your case in court. Moreover, the auto insurance rates after DUI are considerably bigger than before. This happens because the insurer will consider you as a high risk driver, therefore you’ll have to pay more for exactly the same coverage conditions as you used to have.

When hearing my friend what he’s been through with the financial trouble, the trials and all related stuff, I’m happy that I don’t have the bad habit of drinking and driving.

Despite this crisis affecting pretty much everybody, I’ve just bought myself a car. It’s a used one, as I don’t see why to pay so much money only to get some car that smells awfully for about 6 months, when I can get it at half price and with no smells inside. Now that I’ve got it, I’m thinking to get some personal auto insurance. Somebody told me that New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance has great offers for auto insurance, so I believe I’m going to ask them for a quotation. Nevertheless, before doing that, I’ll check the internet to see some auto insurance quotes online, as conditions are different from state to state, and I want to make sure I have as many events covered as possible for my money. After that, I’ll meet some of the insurance agents in person, because you never know what deals they have for really interested potential customers. I’ll let you know how I closed the deal.
