Open Road drivers plan

Is cheaper to just not get a ticket. I've been driving for 12 years and never have had a ticket in a big truck.

 

I'd suggest going with it your first year or two.

 

You'd be better off putting $10 a week in a savings account for an attorney. I recently got a ticket in Ohio. Contacted an attorney who said he could probably have it dismissed for court costs of ~$90. His fee to represent me would have been $150. However, I called the city prosecutor's office, admitted I was speeding, explained that it was my first ticket and I was willing to pay the fine, but I wanted to keep the 2 points of my license so I wouldn't get in trouble at work. They let me take a $50 online defensive driving class, pay $94 in court costs and dismissed the case leaving me with a clean driving record.

 

I quickly looked at the website, nowhere did I see the cost!

How much are they charging, I mean bilking, participants?

There is a lady at the TA in Gary IN selling a plan for only "about $3 a day"!

Math-ing that:

$3x30 = $90

$90x12 = $1080!

I have been driving only three years and no tickets so far. That is $3240 out of pocket for nothing!

How bad of a driver are you? Do you really need it?

Even with those programs you are still liable for any fines or court costs incurred. All they pay for is the attorney's fees. In my case that was only $150. Put your 30 bucks a month in a savings account. Then at the end of the year if you haven't had a ticket you've got more than a stack of cancelled checks.

 

Legal insurance is what it is. If you believe in insurance then it might be something you want.
Personally, I pay out of pocket for all things that I don't have to buy because some stupid man living in Washington DC says I should.

 

Tickets in your car count against you too.
