If you happen to live in, or regularly drive in an area which is highly criminal and highly accident prone, then there is a likelihood that the premium rates may go higher as compared to that person who belongs to a certain area having less crime rate and less accidents. All accidents are countable.

Even if you are new in the driving of a motorcycle, the accidents that happen with your automobile would count against you.
