Revoked License Auto Insurance Rio Rancho New Mexico NM
Reader’s Question:
My wife got convicted a year ago for getting caught driving with a suspended driver’s license here in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. She already served her term but we were wondering if this will increase my car insurance rates since the insurance is under my name.

Unless you decide to exclude your wife (or she was never listed in the first place) under your current car insurance policy there in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, you can expect your car insurance premiums to rise due to her bad driving record. Auto insurance is designed so that it rewards good, safe drivers with low insurance rates and those with poor driving history, especially habitual offenders, are punished with fess and higher insurance expenses. Normally, it would take about two or three years of safe and responsible with zero-violation for your wife to get a clean slate on her driving record and enjoy lower rates again. There are still ways that both of you can save money in the meantime:
Enroll in Defensive Driving Courses
You and your wife can take this together. Not only will you be more knowledgeable and get all the necessary skills in driving safely on the road, your car insurance provider can also provide you discounts for doing so towards your insurance rates.
Follow Traffic Rules
Your wife can ill-afford another traffic violation against her record during this time so it is very important that she obeys traffic rules and remain within the speed limit. The more frequent your violations are the worse your insurance rates would become.
The main things is that she should demonstrate and maintain safe driving habits that would help both of you get your insurance rates lowered again.
