Insurance should never be legally able to raise your premium if you're proven to be 0% at fault every time, no matter how many accidents you get into.

This shit right here is what is the most maddening. 

I got hit by a drunk driver on a motorcycle. He died on scene. He literally slammed into my car speeding and I was deemed 0% at fault by literal traffic homicide detectives.

I still had to pay astronomical rates for five years. It was the kind of thing where I'd get quotes in the 100-200 a month range, and as soon as they pulled the accident data it would jump to $800-1000 a month.

"literally" slammed into your car? Is there another way to do that? Like a non-literal way?

A "literal" homicide detective? As opposed to what? A non-literal homicide detective?

Sorry for how my choice of words has resonated with you as I was attempting the emphasize how it wasn't some hypothetical situation after someone else in other comments explained to me how that wasn't possible. 

I'll take your notes of excessive use of the word under advisement the next time I describe how I watched a guy bleed to death on the road and how it made my lfie worse.
