My surcharge is at 400%. Trying to buy an 06 acura TL which at 400% my insurance will be $10,000. If i pay back these claims, which is a total of $3000, the insurance for the TL will be around 2900 - 3200.

But these past claims that I got was totally BS.
Reversing out of a parking stall at brentwood mall (the one right by bmo where it's a T intersection). This old dude, approaches into the intersection as I was already half way out, totally ignoring the stop sign. I can see him looking to his left talking to this dude while still driving forward, and rear ends me. My car was fine, but he had a broken headlight.
ICBC concludes that that was my fault because I was reversing, but I was at a complete stop. Asked me if I had witness, I said no, and that was it. $1500 claim.
Another one was when I reversing in a gas pump station, this navigator or whatever these big ass truck is called was already hogging up 2/3 of the space. As I was reversing into the spot, he drives up and rear ends me. No damage whatsoever. ICBC concludes that that was also my fault, because I was reversing.
When I got into my spot to get gas that is when he bumped me from behind. All of this happened over the course of 2 months, bad bad luck.
Moral of my story, don't ever tell ICBC that you are in reverse while an accident happened. Whether you're at a complete stop or not, it's your fault. Honesty gets you nowhere.
