If I get parking tickets will this make my car insurance go up?

Generally, parking tickets do not directly affect your car insurance rates. Parking violations are not considered moving violations, so they are not reported to your insurance company or added to your driving record.

However, if you ignore or fail to pay your parking tickets, this could lead to consequences that might indirectly affect your insurance, such as:

  • Your vehicle registration being suspended, which could make it illegal to drive.
  • Your car being towed or impounded, leading to additional fees and complications.
  • Unpaid fines being sent to collections, which could hurt your credit score. Some insurance companies use credit-based insurance scores, so a lower credit score could increase your premium.

To avoid any issues, it’s best to pay parking tickets promptly! 🚗💨

Can i freeze a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich?

Yes! You can freeze a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and it's a great way to prepare meals in advance. Here’s how to do it properly:

How to Freeze a PB&J Sandwich:

  1. Use the Right Bread – Soft, white, or wheat bread works best. Avoid breads that are too crusty as they may become hard when frozen.
  2. Spread Peanut Butter on Both Slices – This creates a barrier and prevents the jelly from soaking into the bread.
  3. Add Jelly in the Center – Spread the jelly in the middle so it doesn't reach the edges and cause sogginess.
  4. Assemble and Seal – Put the slices together and gently press down.
  5. Wrap Properly – Use plastic wrap, foil, or a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn.
  6. Label and Freeze – Write the date on the bag and store it in the freezer for up to 4-6 weeks.

How to Thaw:

  • Remove from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours or pack it in a lunchbox in the morning—it should be perfect by lunchtime!
