That could very well be part of the problem.

Agree. Also, there are a LOT of struggling Americans who have silently just said “f@*k it,” I’ll gamble it and go without.

Oh boy…here we go! With the US siding and funding Ukraine, we will get drawn into this World War III battle ….stupid stupid SOB Uniparty! And guess whose children will be drafted or forced to fight their wars, while they get richer and richer and line their pockets with money that supposedly goes to funding their Ukraine war. It’s your sons and daughters and my children who will die in a foreign battlefield that was not meant to be fought! Compliments of the DC swamp, effing RINOS and the dirty evil bastard rats! Along with a blessing of the pentagon woke generals! None of them will fight this war in the frontlines. It’s gonna be our children doing the dirty work for them. It’s time for us to flip the finger to the DC Bastards and say effing no way!

“Insurance paid her off to the tune of 86k.”

Then I must be an outlier as my final payout was a measly 5k.
Uninsured idjit smacked us while we were stopped in traffic at about 40 mph. Saw it coming and braced for impact. Knocked the radio completely out of the dash as well as bent the RR frame. Took the ins. co. about 4 years to finalize. TFB was the culprit and they were “fired” shortly thereafter. F’n insurance companies DO NOT have your best interests in mind regardless of how long you paid their premiums which was about 35 years.

Not a word about massive orgainzed crime car theft shipping stolen cars over seas.

Not a word about the epidimic of domestic car theft to use cars in crime or to smash into store fronts for robberies.

Not a word about traffic accidents by drunk illegal aliens without a license or insurance.

That is the case in California, which has the highest proportion of EV’s to other cars in the country.

They are also hiding that the people driving more dangerously are unlicensed illegals.

And a lot of unlicensed, uninsured, unregistered Americans, especially the melanin enhanced ones in my area.

This is partly the skyrocketing cost of insurance and auto registration and the utter lack of law enforcement.

I’m with the “illegals are driving up the cost” crowd (no pun intended).
In the early 2000’s I spent about a year in Puerto Rico on a large construction poject, and the one thing that I remember is how crazy many of their drivers were.

When the cultural differences are many, you can not expect things like driving to be the same in other countries as they are here.

Yep. My daughter’s accident sucked. First off it was graduation day for my daughter and she was driving her grandmother back to the hotel.
First red flag was when the lady was “worried we didn’t have insurance”. It’s really hard not to be biased against black people, as their actions warrant that bias.

Even the legal drugs cause problems. I know an opioid user that’s been in more than his fair share of car accidents. Yes he has a prescription.

Yes, because your old vehicles just might be involved in an accident with the more prevalent NEW vehicles.

Insurance rates do have a lot to do with actuaries. (And uninsured drivers.)

Over the years I have been in 2 car accidents. Both times hit from behind by illegal - mexico / India HB1.

I sold one car to gas station and that guy sold it to an illegal but left my name on the title.... that illegal was pulled over by the sheriff and the car impounded. The impound lot wanted me to pay the storage!!

My cousin had nearly the same issue. The sheriff I talked to says this happens all the time....
