My grandmother shouldn't be aloud to operate any type of machinery but in the insurance companies eyes shes a great driver. It's pure luck she has yet to be in a major accident.
I agree. In my ideal world, probably only about 70-80% of people on the road wouldn't be able to be licensed. I think people should have to show actual skill behind the wheel. I'm not sure what testing people on being able to stop at a line and parallel park does for keeping our roads safe.

Like I have my bad record list.
Some consist of street racing in a abandoned road by
A cement plant. But the huge ones were not have valid insurance
Which were the big.ones. I got two of those within 5 days and they
Were both 12 points. Other then that I never got wreckless driving, running a red light or
Failure to yield.

OP, did you try Progressive?
Back in the day I had Erie Insurance. They dropped me.
I went to progressive with a record and paid less than I was paying at Erie without one. I've been denied by Geico before, too.
Just a thought.

Btw... don't street race, man.
And don't run from the poooolice.
And don't drink and drive.

I'm from Manitoba, Canada and id kill to pay 240/month for motorcycle insurance. Having a perfect license still means you pay over 530/month to ride a sport bike 600cc and up. If you guys are complaining about insurance rates down in the states, try getting insured north of the border haha

I think "full cover" auto/bike insurance is a waste of money if your property is worth less than $10-15K....it should be ride at your own risk. What in the world can justify $530/Mo for full coverage insurance up north? That's $6360.00/year....health care insurance for ER & in hospital for the "what if " of course is needed.....IMHO, if your bike or car is not worth more than $15-20K, don't even bother to buy full coverage. But all goes with INSURANCE co. You're damn if you do, you're damn if you don't.

Is your license STILL suspended? That might be part of your problem. I have a bad record too, had my license suspended about 8 years ago, and have a lead foot, a few speeding tickets over the years. I go through State Farm and pay $320 a year, about $26 dollars a month for full coverage on my bike. I have my truck and my wife's car on a separate policy there too, we pay about $158 a month total for full coverage on all 3 vehicles.
