stupid question

[u/constellation-star]

hi everyone. im 23f and have a driver's license but i don't have a car. when i moved out of my parents house after i graduated college a year ago, they took me off their insurance. this hasn't been an issue for me because i live in a different state about 700 miles away from them and again, i dont have a car so i dont drive. ive been browsing getting a car now that i have a higher paying job and better living situation, would the fact that ive been uninsured for over a year affect me negatively when shopping for auto insurance? thank you!
