    Well.....just wanted to know : I've got (4) NON D.O.T. Preventables in the Last 3 Years....Nothing Major....Just ' Minor Backing '....

    I've been LOOKING for The Last Month and NO ONE Will Touch Me....Even Though My D.M.V. is CLEAN for the Last 10 YEARS !

    Most Companies keep using ' Insurance ' as the Reason for saying : " No ! "....

    And I'm just about to Give Up,and walk away for at least the Next Year....( If not More ).

    Just wanted to know,If I should do that ?....Or keep Trying.

    They look at non preventables as a preventable waiting to happen.. 4 in 3 years is almost the same as a wreckless driving conviction to an insurance company.. Not fair but 4 is a lot and they look at you as a HUGE risk.. and honestly I think they may be right.. You may be very very unlucky and they shouldn't factor that in but they do when the past shows it..

    They may not be classified as DOT preventables, but 4 ? You say minor backing. Insurance looks at that as preventable.

    Yeah. Insurance doesn't care whether DOT records it... they only care if someone had to pay out for damages because of your actions.

    That's why they're declining coverage.
