If you cause an accident, it will directly affect your rate. However, keep in mind that if you do see a rate increase at any time, it may not have anything to do with your accident; insurance rates are adjusted periodically to keep up with the statistics that apply to your situation, including inflation, the number of claims in your neighbourhood, **the accident statistics for people with the same car as you** , and many other factors. > > -courtesy of Desjardins Yea… This is why I pay less insurance for a G35 Coupe than you guys do for S13s. And why I’ll need to sell the G soon as more wankers are buying them. Only 40+ year old women had the car when I bought mine 😃 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/opinion/122854)._
