You got that right brother. Just for the record I drive like an old man. Because according to her I am one. My daughter was freaking out because she was late for orientation and had gotten lost. She told me the cop was mean to her and intimidating. Which quite frankly kind of pissed me off. She is 120 pound 5.6 little girl..not a threat to anyone. I still think the whole thing stinks.

That said if they do shop around. My wife had an accident last year, the insurance went up 600.00 I called my agent they shopped us around and I am now paying what i paid last year. things have changed in the car insurance world...

Good to know thanks

4 years later and my parents just finished paying for my brother's car after he killed himself speeding. He was only 17. Thank God everyday it'll only be a couple grand when you're done.

I apologize about the sanctimonious comment. I can't even spell it. Thanks for spell check. She should have not been speeding and it is dangerous. I just am sick of getting screwed regardless of who's fault it is. Things are tight enough with out this points bullshirt

Like Forest Gump Said. "And that's all I have to say about that".

I am very sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing, I am speechless. You are right.

What a terrible thing to have to do, paying the monthly payment on a car that your brother died driving. My sincerest condolences to your entire family having to relieve that crash every month at bill paying time. Thats awful.

I used to speed all the time. I could turn an 8 hour drive into 6.5 hours by driving like what i would now call "a maniac". Somewhere along the line I slowed down. now people complain when I follow thenm or they follow me to fishing spots cause I drive real slow. Something moved me from speed demon to old lady and I can't help but think being pulled over a few times helped me along.

Usually it's the sense that if you were to get into an accident at a high speed, you would be toast.
That, and the fact that most of "us" older drivers didn't have our first experience with cars in video games where speeding and crashes are "fun".

How many of you have seen, or been cut off by some "idiot" driving a low-riding speed-coffin in your travels? I am not a lead-foot, and I hate doing anything over the speed of 70, but when you see these little "hot-wheels" speedsters racing, weaving through traffic at 80-90, you have to wonder what is going through their pea-sized brains?
(Short of saying the truck of their car when then hit something.)

Good luck with the appeal, but also chock it up to a "lesson learned" the hard way - where the pain will be in the wallet, not in body and mind.

Most highways are an open road and the danger of speed is relative to the traffic that your driving past.
65 is slow for the pike. I vaguely remember when the limit was higher in the 60s.

I'm surprised anyone remembers anything from the 60's!
