What is considered a clean driving record in California?
I want to get the best rate on my insurance. When I talked to my insurance agent, she said that a clean driving record is one of the most important steps toward saving money. While I think I know what that means, I’m not entirely sure. In California, what’s a clean driving record?

A clean driving record in California is a record free of any tickets, infractions, or accidents. Technically, this means that you’ve had no record of any of these issues in the entirety of your driving history.
However, for the purpose of
car insurance
, most insurers don’t look back in your driving history any further than three to five years, so if you’ve had a clean record since then, you should see your car insurance rates drop.If you want to make sure you always get the
