Is this bad? or just wrong?

my advice is to give a few insurance companies a call and get a few quotes. rates can vary quite significantly amongst different companies.
This might be a good plan too but i would have my mom call because i will be on a plan with her that would make it cheaper, then being by myself right?

not necessarily. the thing with getting insurance together with your mom is that she will be charged a rate and you will be charged a rate. although your rate, if you were to get insurance alone, would be more than the your portion of the rate when joint with your mom, the total rate (yours and your moms) may or may not be less than the rate they will charge you if you were to get insurance solely under you name.

Oooh, you got a ticket? When I was your age I was an "assigned risk," something like six speeding tickets in one year! Paying more for insurance than car payments is nature's way of slowing you down. Get over it, in about three years the insurance companies will too.

Ok heres the deal my insurance is in my moms name so i am no where on the plan.
If you're not covered by insurance, what would happen if you got into an accident? What is the purpose of even buying insurance if you're not covered (besides providing proof if you get pulled over)?

That is the problem...i am sure they would deny me any coverage...This is why i am thinking about buying a 96-00 hatch till those points come off my record then buying an S. I will be out of college and be making the big money then.

I thought you meant you had your moms name on the policy and you were a secondary driver. If you are not covered at all, THIS IS REALLY REALLY BAD! Imagine if you get into an accident, the car is totaled, and then what? I guess theoretically you could even get another ticket for driving without insurance. This will be a MUCH bigger headache than those speeding points you have, and you will get MUCH higher rates.

Get this taken care of ASAP.

Btw, congrats on almost finishing college, it will make these things easier later on

Yes that is my greatest fear...me totally my car and the insurance company laughing in my face...not cool. I think i am just going to sell the EP and buy a cheaper civic and when i get out of college in 2.5 years then look into a sports car like the S. To risky and i dont feel like paying more for my insurance then my car payment right now.
