Insurance Rape (rant - long)

06-06-2001, 03:15 AM

I just have to chime in because i HATE insurance companies. about a year ago I got into a freeway pileup during heavy rain going downhill and couldn't stop with a football field's worth of space (thank god it was a beat up '88 chevy truck i got for real cheap), a state trooper (supposedly ALWAYS give tickets) didn't give me a ticket and even told my parents who i called to come to the accident that it wasn't my fault, couldn't do anything. Safeco insurance dropped me! Geico (Rapeco) gave me $1600 every 6 months for full liability coverage on my current stang, and i switched to Progressive and now get a little less than $900 every six months ($150 a month roughly)....That's a lot of goddam money i could use elsewhere.
My record:
No tickets
1 at fault accident (rearended car in front of me) involved in pileup.
on the positive side i didn't get hurt in my accident and it was only a chevy truck.
I was thinking of getting a street bike, but after looking at insurance rates for both the bike (need it to finance) and mustang as well as the monthly payments for the bike, i would be miserable...damn insurance....
