Since you mentioned that you have comprehensive coverage, this coverage covers damages caused by fire, weather, vandalism, floods and theft. If your stolen vehicle will not be recovered , your car insurance provider will settle for the ACV of the car before it was stolen.

If you visit the Georgia Insurance Commissioner site it states there how if your vehicle is a total loss, which a stolen car is since it taken from you, your full coverage through your insurance carrier will pay you what the vehicle was worth based on its ACV.

If you owe more money then the ACV of the car, you will be responsible for the difference of what the automobile’s actual cash value settlement is and the balance of your vehicle loan

Reader’s Question:

How long do points remain on your driving Motor Vehicle Record in Roswell, Georgia? I got two speeding tickets for two points each, and a minor traffic violation for one point. Will my insurance provider in Roswell still see the offense after doing a point reduction class?

The A Department of Driver Services (DDS) states that you can take a point reduction defensive driving course once every five years. You cannot take the traffic school class online or on a computer. The DDS only permits classroom instruction for this driving school.

According to the DDS information sheet on the defensive driving course, you may not take the traffic school for auto point reduction or insurance reduction or for more than 1 violation. It also seems that the points are reduced but that the offense stays on your driving record. If this is the case, you insurance provider can indeed see the violations and thus rate you on them.

It will depend upon your insurance company’s rating system how these moving violations will affect your car insurance premium. If your insurance rates increase, it may be time to shop around for a new insurance company.
