I had a brother that had a lead foot when he was a teenager. He must have gotten over a dozen speeding tickets and even some wreck less driving tickets. He liked to race because he had a little sports car. My Dad spent so much money paying for all the court costs and ticket fees.

My Dad was nice enough to help my little brother out but it really started to take a toll on us financially. My parents were both constantly searching for better car insurance rates because my brother was high risk or the insurance company would drop them all together.

I think he should have just taken the keys away and not let him drive at all. He is lucky he never killed himself or anyone else racing around like he always did. One of the worst tickets he got was when he got caught doing over eighty miles an hour through a construction zone.

After my brother began to settle down a little and realized how dumb he had been, my parents did search for some good car insurance companies that understood their situation. It took awhile but the car insurance rates did finally start to drop a bit after my brother went a year or so without any driving violations. He is a much more mature and better driver today and will admit he was a fool back then.
