  NEWTON, MA, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Paying monthly bills is unavoidable. Monthly bills such as mortgage
payments, property taxes, electric bills and college tuition payments are
fixed costs, so where can bills be reduced?

    Auto insurance is a great place to start. By keeping a clean driving
record and responsibly following the rules of the road, drivers have an
excellent chance of seeing major savings on auto insurance premiums says
InsuranceQuotes.com, a first class website created to help consumers
seeking out the best rates on insurance quotes.

    "Driving infractions are the main reasons why auto insurance rates go
higher," says Adam Haber, CEO of InsuranceQuotes.com. "As the main
policyholder, the actions of both you and those listed on your policy have
a direct correlation on your ability to find the lowest auto insurance
quotes."

    Listed below are a few infractions that will cause auto insurance rates to
go up, or even result in suspended driving privileges:


--  Driving without a license - Auto insurance is mandatory. Driving
    without coverage results in a one year suspension and fines up to $1,000 -
    plus a $250 surcharge for three years.

--  Accumulated points on driving record - 12 points or more on a driving
    record, and the license becomes suspended.  That means don't speed, don't
    make illegal turns or run stop signs hoping nobody will see; follow the
    rules of the road

--  DUI - This is the most serious infraction as not only the driver's
    life but others' lives are put in jeopardy. The penalties are severe and
    increase with each conviction.  The first offense carries a penalty of up
    to 30 days in jail and loss of driver's license for up to one year.  A
    second DUI within 10 years of the first infraction could mean 90 days in
    jail and a license suspension of two years.
    

    
"If you drive drunk, you are really playing with fire," adds Haber.
"Imagine destroying the lives of people who lose a loved one, and the
stress and heartache you will cause your own family by your lack of
judgment."
