My premiums will likely go up, but I don't know what to because I have no accidents on my record history. I haven't been driving long enough to earn crash forgiveness. I'm mainly upset about the increased cost to my insurance, although I hope it will be minor. I currently pay under $100 a month for insurance and I'm hoping the increase will be to something manageable, like less than $150. But it's still making me feel really down. I know I shouldn't let a really minor setback like this make me feel so depressed, and it'll pass quickly, but it still makes me feel really bad.
If you had bumped my car & left only a smudge, I would have told you not to report it. Too bad it didn't turn out that way.
