Making $15-$18 has zero to do with the probability of someone wrecking a car. Surely you're not suggesting basing premiums on income lol.
Yeah if anything people driving for a living should be extra diligent in being good drivers, since their livelihoods depend on it.

Although I don't like the house insurance example. You're right your premiums will go up on repeated claims, but they can happen with zero fault on the homeowner's part (IE theft, vandalism etc).
With driving it's a lot more straightforward. You fuck up behind the wheel, it's your fault and you pay.
