Sometimes accidents don't show up on your record for a while. Eventually if your policy is in the middle of its term and they run a MVR or Auto Loss Report they may see the accident, most insurance companies can't charge until the policies renew.

How are accidents put on your drivers license?

When they are submitted to the state by a municipality or insurance company they are sent to you driver's history. If you have an accident that is not reported to police, and is handled out of pocket, it will not reach your insurance company or your driving record.

How far back can car insurance look on your driving record fl?

This will vary in different states. I know in Georgia an insurance company can request a report for 3 years or 7 years. Most insurance companies request the 3 year report because their rating plan is based on 3 years driving record. It also costs a good bit more to get a 7 year record instead of the 3 year record. I have one company that rates based on 5 years so they get the 7 year record. Lots of times people think that tickets and accidents fall off their record after 3 years but this isn't true. Tickets and Accidents are on your record forever. The only thing that varies is the time period covered by the report that is sold to outside companies.
