If you are involved in an at-fault accident, driving record protection ensures your driving record will not fall to the bottom of the insurer's rating system. For example, if your insurer uses the common 6-star rating system and you have an at-fault accident, your "star rating" might drop down to a 0-star designation. If you were previously a 6-star driver this means your rates will significantly increase. However, with driving record protection your star rating will not fall as much, if at all. By protecting your standing on the "star rating" system, driving record protection results in a break on your auto insurance premium that you would otherwise have to pay if it did not exist.
If you have never been in an accident, check with your current insurer to see what their policies are on driving record protection. If they don't offer it, it may be time to consider switching to one that does. It could save you thousands of dollars should you ever find yourself with an at-fault accident on your driving record.
