Your Driving Record
How long will an accident stay on your driving record? Whoever is at fault, the length of time for your records to clear up varies per state or violation.
In Florida, accidents may stay on your record for 3 to 5 years if a citation occurred. But, violations that are more serious may stay longer. Meanwhile, incidents related to alcohol may stain your record for up to 75 years. So you should think twice about drunk driving. Not only will it affect your record, but your insurance rates as well.
Insurance Premiums after an Accident
As long as you weren’t driving drunk, you can still save on auto insurance premiums in the coming years. When your driving record clears up, it will no longer affect auto insurance premiums. How long insurers would dig into your record depends on the company and the regulations. So, better check with our agent.
Your premiums may be high after an accident for 3 to 5 years depending on certain circumstances. But accident surcharges may decrease when you remain accident-free for at least a year.
