Ways to Save Money on Car Insurance for High Risk Drivers

There are several posts on ways to save on car insurance in general, but what about those drivers who are considered high risk. You know, the ones who have several traffic violations that cause insurance providers to charge a higher premium. While I’m certain we all do our best to obey the laws of the road, sometimes we get caught out there. Whether we’re late for work and speed to make up for lost time or we’ve had our fair share of accidents, there’s always the risk of going from a good driver to a high risk driver in an instant.
So how does one who has a pretty horrible driving record still manage to save money until they can prove themselves to be better drivers? As I looked for cheaper insurance for myself and my husband (who happens to have a led foot), I asked myself the same thing. Here’s what I came up with.

Hey parents! Minute Maid knows you are Doin’ Good! #DoinGood #DiMeMedia

 We’re weeks away from a new school year and I’m more stressed about it than my daughter! In just a couple of weeks I’ll be the mother of a fifth grader… Where has the time gone?! I look at my daughter and I begin to think back to when she was just a little girl and that seems like it was decades ago when, in reality, it was only a handful of years. I’m stressed about whether we’re doing a good job, will she be a well-rounded person, I want her to have the best possible life she can have. Then I take a step back and look at everything as a whole and I think to myself, “I think we’re doin’ good so far! Are we perfect? No. But perfection isn’t fun.”
