"I recently signed up for new auto, homeowners and umbrella policies with Shepard Insurance. They offered the most competitive rates while at the same time supplying the best customer service I’ve ever received."

"I discovered Shepard Insurance about 5 years ago, while shopping around for competitive auto insurance policies. Not only were their prices enticing enough to encourage me to sign on with them, but their customer service has been what has kept me a loyal customer for five years. Since that auto policy, I've since purchased a home, and started a new business, both of which are also covered by Shepard. Luz and her team have been great, keeping in step with my every need."

When nailed for speeding, how often can you attend "driver safety classes" to wipe the ticket off your record, and what offenses are eligible for such "masking"?

The California Vehicle Code permits drivers who receive minor moving violations, such as simple speeding tickets, to attend traffic school once every 18 months. Provided you successfully complete the class and pay all fees, the moving violation does not appear on your driving record maintained by the Department of Motor Vehicles—and insurers therefore cannot count the violation against your "good driver" status under Prop. 103.

As a result of legislation (AB 645) passed last year, which took effect Jan. 1, 2008, drivers who are charged with a two-point moving violation (such as reckless driving, hit-and-run, or DUI,) can't attend traffic school.
