Quote:That reminds me of my friend who got one of those gizmos you put in your car that supposedly lowers the cost of your insurance if you drive safely.   He had this thing for a few months, and his insurance company told him they couldn't give him a discount because he made too many left turns.   Apparently, left turns are dangerous.   I told him, next time you need to make a left, make three rights.   No more left turns.   He never got a discount, though. 

 

It's true though.  In fact UPS Drivers have their routes planned out to avoid left turns.  They've saved money by doing so. 

 

Those things are scams though.  Some people get the discount, but it's not equal to the cost of the program you're part of in the first place.  And worst of all -- if you drop out, you have to pay that discount back.  Yeah... Car Insurance can be such a racket.  A friend of mine had her car hit by a hit and run driver in the parking lot, and most of the cost to fix her car had to come out of pocket.  She bemoaned "WHAT THE [BAD WORD REMOVED] DO I PAY YOU PEOPLE FOR?"
