What is the name of your state?
Michigan
My "issues" with the law happened about three years ago when I was 21. It was enough to wise me up pretty quick and I haven't had any issues since then. Anyway, back when it happened I was very concerned about my insurance rates sky-rocketing, but interestingly enough, they never did.
When it happened, I was in my last semester of college and still on my parents insurance. I expected this to have some impact on them, but it never did. When their rates didn't go up, I counted my blessings but figured they'd hit me in a month or two when I'd have to get my own.
Anyway, I went with Progressive, told them about my past discretions, and it only raised my rate by about $8 a month. Granted, I was still paying through the nose because of my age, but I was amazed that the actual DUI didn't have a larger impact.
Does anyone know why it wouldn't have had a larger impact on me? Also, I turn 25 in a few months, which is typically the age when your insurance drops in cost a little. Do you think the DUI will just prevent me from receiving that break or something?
