Hey! Do you have any idea why it was suspended? You can check your driving record. I think you can order a copy of your driving record at a Driver License Division or DLD compliance location in person. The office is probably open from Mondays to Fridays; so if you’ve got some free time, visit one. There are four compliance locations and if you go to the one in Austin, you can get your driving record on the same day. You can also order this online or send an application to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Driver Records Bureau by mail. Mail takes longer, though, so it’s not such a good idea. Type 1, which is what you’ll need to get know whether your license was really suspended or not, costs about four dollars if I’m not mistaken.
As for getting free auto insurance info and quotes, just go ahead, Harry. Some companies sell auto insurance under certain conditions. I had a friend who once needed an SR-22 to reinstate his license and he was able to purchase coverage–no problem! Some companies would just give you, like, 30 days to reinstate your license. Finally check with the state offices how much you have to pay as penalty. You need to settle this to remove the suspension on your license and get back on the road.

Surfing the Internet is one way of ensuring that you get free auto insurance quotes with the most competitive rates especially if you are a first time driver.
Firstly, you should know all the insurance requirements of the State of Texas. 20/40/15 coverage is what it is generally called. These numbers represent the maximum that the carrier will pay for damages you have inflicted. $20,000 will be for a person’s treatment of bodily injuries. Meanwhile, if there are two or more passengers in the other party’s vehicle, your insurer will pay up to $40,000 for their bodily injuries. If there were properties ruined, and these may include any public or private property, like the other driver’s vehicle, then your insurer will shoulder up to $15,000 to cover for these damages.
If your vehicle is financed, then your financing company will definitely require you to buy Collision and Comprehensive Coverage. This will assist you financially if repairs are needed following an accident. This insurance also pays for the cash value of the vehicle if it was declared totaled.
As a first time driver, you need to know that buying as much auto insurance as you can afford is the best way to protect yourself. So getting Personal Injury Protection (PIP) would be a very wise thing to do especially now that medical care is getting expensive. This insurance will pay for your hospital care and rehabilitation. It also provides much needed financial assistance if you are unable to get to work because of sustained injuries.
Additionally, Uninsured Motorist Insurance is a safeguard against financial difficulty following accidents where a driver without auto insurance is not able to pay for your medical care and vehicle repairs.
Now, that you know all these, you may obtain comparison rates from websites that offer free auto insurance quotes. This way, you know all your options and get the best auto insurance for your money.
