Virginians know that safe driving pays dividends in more ways than one. Besides the peace of mind while on the roads, insurance companies add “good driver” and “accident-free” discounts to bolster the pockets of those with clean records. But one failure to obey a red light or stop sign could have drivers paying $90 more per month, and a speeding ticket kicks up the cost by $24. It’s not all sad news for drivers with less-than-perfect driving records. After three years of clean driving, violations and accidents stop affecting insurance premiums.
Like most states, the Old Dominion’s law says insurance companies can use credit to set rates. Although people might miss the connection between credit and driving ability, insurance companies claim their data says otherwise. As credit gets better, drivers pay less in Arlington. A move from poor credit to excellent saves over $50 per month and even a move from poor credit to average credit cuts off $18 per month, a more than $200 per year break.
