It is mandatory for all American citizens to get auto insurance policy when they are driving their own cars. And because of this, auto insurance companies are checking the driver’s driving records to know if they are responsible drivers and they have no traffic records or violations.
Drivers with traffic violations are asked by insurance companies to pay high monthly premium. This is because they belong to the group of high risk drivers. The more delinquent you are as a driver, the higher your monthly premium is.
