Reader’s Question:

My friend drove my car and received a DUI. Will my insurance rates go up because she used my car?

Thank you for asking Tara.

If the citation or ticket is written to a driver only and not against a the car the person is driving, typically, it is the driver’s record that will be affected. Since your friend received the ticket for DUI in his or her name only then it would usually be their license and their insurance rates that would be affected by this citation.

You may verify with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicle to get more information regarding your specific situation.

Goodluck!
