Because if you have been continuously insured is a question every company asks on the application, so they can charge you more if you haven't been?Originally posted by: notfred
What difference does it make if he has insurance if he has no license?

If your friend drops his insurance while he's suspended, he'll definately pay more when he goes to get a new policy.
If he continues to pay his insurance, it's not likely that they'll catch the suspension and his insurance won't go up.
Some insurance companies do random audits of accounts, some do none. It costs money to check people's driver records. They make their money on you when you're cheap enough to drop your insurance and reapply. They always check your record when you open a new policy.
Been there twice myself. 😀

His insurance will go up either way......
If it is his first offense, he will likely not be dropped. If he exhibits the same behavior again in less than two years, he will most likey be dropped.

I disagree. Odds are that his insurance company will not find out unless he calls them and tells them. "Hi, I'm the stupid guy. I just got caught speeding excessively, will my insurance go up?"
There was no claim (no wreck) so there's no reason for them to look.
Another way he could get nabbed is if his insurance salesman is a superhero that reads the local police reports and cares enough to check his record. Odds there are huge.
Maybe it's policy to check young driver's records on a regular basis. I don't know that. I never got in trouble insurance-wise until I was older. I did have a number of speeding violations when I was 18-20 and my insurance never went up. I even had to go to bad driver's school and retake my test.
Two DUI's in my later life, and same thing.

Speeding tickets will usually be reported if your state requires it.
Here is what raises your premium:
The conviction, not the ticket.

Yup, same here, I was got a ticket that could have suspended my license. Nope, insurance has not gone up in the last 5 years because of that. They'll never find out.
