I really don’t trust automobile insurance companies. It seems that whenever you have good points on your record, that along comes a police car to ticket you for something petty, like driving 3 to 5 miles over the posted speed limit. If this has happened to you, then you know what I mean. So, I prefer to believe that insurance companies pay kickbacks to law enforcement agencies so that they will ticket people to keep the insurance prices high.
Of course, I know that there are drivers that really do need to have a ticket for a traffic violation, but for the most, I believe it is really a racket. And I don’t think our government really cares as much about our safety as they do about making money from tickets, etc.
Here is one case in point. Cities were considering removing the automatic cameras from signaled intersections. Why? Because that the cameras were so effective at catching violators that the number of violations went down dramatically; the city officials were, so, concerned that they were not making enough money from tickets, because now the drivers were paying attention and driving more carefully. So, the city officials considered that the automatic cameras at the signaled intersections were not making them enough money to pay for them.
That to me is an outrage, because, that again shows how that our elected officials obviously are more concerned about the money than the number of lives that the automatic cameras at signaled intersections are saving and keeping safe.
I have a car and a van and I pay more than I think I or anyone should have to pay for car or Van Insurance. Follow the link for more information about affordable insurance.
