As they go up for so many, with no cause, it would be good to know what we are paying for.

Your rate isn't just dependant on you. It's dependant on the state you live in and the area you live in. If you live in an area with a lot of uninsured drivers, your rates will be higher. Because naturally, there will be more accidents that include uninsured drivers that the insurance companies will have to pay for because the uninsured drivers sure as shite won't pay for it. And if there happens to be more accidents with uninsured drivers than the company anticipated, the rates go up usually. And no that's not punishing the good drivers, it is just the business raising rates to offset the cost.

And anyone that says it's unfair for insurance companies to raise rates because of things like that have no basic concept of what it takes to run a business with a profit. Car insurance companies barely break even if anything on property and casualty. They make all of their money with life and health insurance policies.
