Yea I still try to stress to everyone, all the time, every time, to shop. Shop every 6 months, shop every year.

Every insurance agency has different quotas and different views.
For example, progressive only cares about violations within 3 years. State farm, farmers, esurance, etc care about 5 years.
Some care about the speed of the speeding ticket, some just care that you got a ticket. (so in this case a 40 over is as bad as a 5 over)

I've yet to see a single one care about points.

rule of thumb with car insurance, always shop around, ESPECIALLY if something has changed (tickets, accidents, etc)
