Your right, and I have seen the unfortunate statistics. All I have
to say is that I drive very safely, mainly because even though we
have insurance the $500 deductable can be hard to come up with some
months. I do know some women though who should be paying twice
what I would be paying for my truck because they are just plain
crazy. (Some, not all, so dont be offended) I also hope this doesnt
open another can of worms, but its just my perspective.
