How long after an accident should i wait to get a new car?

im 18, and i just recieved a ticket for "ignoring" a traffic light (3 points off my lisence) which resulted in an accident. both cars were totaled, i went to the hospital, he just got checked up in the hospital, i was battered. im wondering how long i should hold off on getting a "new" car so im not paying $400+ a month for insurance?

Your accident will drop off 3 years from the date of incident. However, if you are uninsured for that entire time, you will be in a higher rate class. You might want to get a junker car and have liability only on it until your accident drops off

Get yourself a beater car (older model that runs well), drive sensibly & wait til those 3 points come off of your license before getting a newer car. Thank God both of you just went to the hospital. It could have been much worse for the both of you. Let it be a learning experience.

Buy a $2,000.00 four door Chevy Cavalier and drop your collision for a couple of years.

that's up to you. if you can wait, then wait. if you need another car, get one. just be sure you get one which will give a lower insurance cost for you.
