How much does insurance cost with a bad driving record in Florida?
If you have a bad driving record in Florida this post will help you understand how it will affect your insurance rates. Florida insurance rates are determine by many diffrent factors. Some of these factors include your age, sex, location, driving record, credit and claims history. One of the biggest things that can increase the cost of your insurance in Florida is having at-fault accidents on your driving record. Your insurance carrier might put an at-fault accident on your driving record if you are in an accident and are deemed to be at-fault. The Florida DMV can also put an at-fault accident on your record if you are ticketed in an accident. Some other violations that are considered to be “major” include careless driving, reckless driving, and speeding tickets that are over 15 mph above the posted speed limit. These types of tickets carry a lot of points and can increase your insurance rates drastically. Insurance companies think individuals with these violations are high risk. Unfortunately another big rating factor is your credit history. Research has shown that people with better credit are less likely to have an accident. Insurance rates are also determined by the type of vehicle you drive. Sports cars can increase your rate while vehicles with good safety features can lower your rate. Last but not least, your location plays a big part of your insurance rate. Living in a bigger city can increase the cost of your insurance. Accident rates are much higher in larger cities because there is much more traffic.
