Because
Scenario: A car almost hit me earlier today and I swerved, almost caused an accident.
Are both of these correct? What do they mean?
1. Let's say I had driven a truck instead, so it would have been better for me to hit the car instead of moving out of the away because I had wanted my insurance not to go up.
2. Let's say I had driven a truck instead, so it would have been better for me to hit the car instead of moving out of the away because I wanted my insurance not to go up.

Hello Jack
In that case, I don't find those versions quite idiomatic. Maybe:
1. Let's say I was driving a truck instead. Then it would have been better for me to hit the car instead of moving out of the way, because I didn't want my insurance to go up.
