Ive always believed that everyone should pay a flat fee that only increases IF you claim and only if you are at fault.
I can't say I saw that the stats myself (not being able to understand them myself not being an actuary) but I believe them. Ins companies aim for the most accurate stats available, it's in their interests. If they are out widely with their estimates and they just jack the prices up for no good reasons they'll have reduced business, that's no good to them.
