Yeah...the first one, Cops did show up....less than $500 worth of damage...no police report. 3rd one, Cops basically told me to suck it, as did the county and the State. They said, "It's YOUR fault that you hit something in the road. Reguardless if it was dropped by another motorist or not. You should be more vigilant."

Haha yeah maybe I will just keep lowering my deductible/raising coverage so that when it does hit the lowest rate they are willing to charge at least I'll have the best plan possible.

does anyone here use AAA auto insurance? I just turned 24 and have full coverage on my 07 Gt and 06 Jetta GLI and a 96 Jeep Cherokee. With rental car coverage I only pay $86 a month for all three. I have had a couple claims for windshields and a scratch on the Jetta and it never went up. Hope this helps, check them out. oh, and the $86 also covers my AAA roadside coverage.

My local law enforcement don't even like 90. My brother got arrested Friday night for "racing" instead of speeding because his friend was behind them and he had a corvette and his friend has a mustang.

I don't think my friend has Progressive, I can't remember, but his company has something like that. He told me about how at dinner his parents had told him they saw he had been braking erratically today...really?
Creepy haha.

Progressive (my insurer) has been advertising something called "Snapshot". It appears to be a device that plugs into your diagnostic port and monitors how you drive. They say "the better you drive, the more you save." It's not hard to see where this may lead....
Surcharge for "bad driving".
Refusing coverage if you won't use the device.
We already pay higher rates because of what we drive. I don't want big brother in my car. What do you guys think?

If you do stick with them Geico, afraid you don't have the self-control to drive smart for a month or two?
We were with Mercury insurance for 6 years and when they tried raising my rates because of a speeding ticket we switched to another company. Same coverage lower rate than even my pre-ticket rates from Mercury...
