Online Auto Insurance Discusses Coverage Implications of a License Suspension

Orlando, FL, December 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Suspension of a driver's license can bring with it a slew
of problems. Depending on the circumstances of the suspension, one of those problems could be
increased car insurance rates. In a new FAQ, the writers at OnlineAutoInsurance.com discuss the cases in
which a suspension can mean an increased cost of coverage.

There are quite a few actions that can lead to suspension of a license, and they are often different
depending on state law. Despite what might be assumed, motorists can lose their ability to drive legally
by committing certain offenses such as a failure to pay child support, violating court probation and
undergoing treatment for alcohol or chemical dependency. Although these causes won't likely affect
insurance rates, a loss of driving privileges for reckless driving or other traffic infractions can bring with
them huge spikes in rates.

Whatever the reason that caused a driver's license to be suspended, Florida auto insurance policyholders
with new cars should not simply drop coverage just because they have temporarily lost the ability to
drive. If a new vehicle is being paid for through a financing company, that company will likely demand
that the prospective owner of the new car maintain comprehensive and collision coverage on the car at all
times. Even though the vehicle will not be driven as much, it still could be susceptible to becoming
damaged or stolen.

And in addition, Florida law requires vehicle owners to keep a policy in place in order to maintain proper
registration. If a car is found to be registered but uninsured, the state could suspend the license plate or
registration for up to three years.
