rates are adjusted to local claims experience. Some years ago there were stories of insurance companies donating radar guns to police departments because speeding tickets allows for premium hikes. My insurance company told me their research showed a corelation between speeding tickets and claims.

In the case of a DUI rates go up dramatically. But still, a portion of claims are spread across all policy holders. Taking a few impaired people off the roads should make a difference.
