Chicago (InsuranceAgents.com) – Every motorist knows it’s illegal to drink and drive but that doesn’t always stop people from getting in their cars and driving when they shouldn’t. Besides the obvious reasons to not drive under the influence; because you can seriously injure or kill yourself and others, it can have long lasting affects on your future as well.

In a recent article posted by InsuranceAgents.com, “DUI Auto Insurance: What Happens And Why,” they discuss the affects a DUI can cause to your car insurance premiums.
“The negative consequences that come with a DUI are varied and many, not the least of which is a headache and a half trying to figure out your DUI auto insurance,” states the article, “A serious traffic violation like a DUI could negatively affect your insurance rates in a very real and very serious way.” Once you are convicted of driving under the influence, your license will be suspended. The only way to get your license back is to purchase a very expensive car insurance policy called SR-22. This policy is required by the state for all DUI cases as a way to prove you have financial responsibility while driving your vehicle. After your required time period for this car insurance is over, you will have to find your own policy that will cover you and your car, but good luck finding a reasonable premium with a DUI on your record.

A DUI affects your driving record, which then affects your car insurance quotes. You will never have an affordable car insurance premium if you do not have a clean and safe driving record. So before you consider driving while under the influence, think about all the damage you are about to cause your life and possibly, others lives too.
