That black box is like having a backseat driver who never sleeps. Mine once dinged me for “harsh braking” when a squirrel darted out in front of me—wh...
I get where you’re coming from, but I’ve actually seen the flip side of this. I moved from a tiny town to a bigger city for work, and my insurance bar...
It’s wild how much you have to push back just to get what you’re already paying for. I remember after my first accident, I felt like I needed a law de...
