You must be one heck of a driver then, to be classified as a high risk driver. Are you even aware of the implications? I think not, because then you wouldn’t be one had you known.
Well, the most important thing you have to know is that being a high risk driver means that you are going to be paying a bigger insurance bill. Now, there are a lot of factors as to why you were classified as a high risk driver. First, you have to think of your record as a driver. Being always at fault at accidents definitely makes you a high risk driver. But even if you are not always at fault but you always get yourself into car accidents or if you always get speeding tickets, it is assumed that the chances for you to get into a car accident goes up and that there is an apparent pattern here of how you are as a driver.
Okay, what I am going to say next can be quite frustrating, but there is nothing we can really do about these things but accept them. Usually, insurance companies see drivers differently. Men are normally considered as higher risk than women because it is assumed that men are more prone to be reckless. Also, teenagers are seen as high risk drivers unlike the case with adult drivers. Finally, since you are from Charleston, WV, you may be considered a higher risk compared to the people from the rural areas. For the most part, these are what I know, but I think there are a lot of other factors that could have been the reason why you were classified as a high risk driver.
