RE: Best ways to snag insurance discounts in Alaska: driving record vs. bundling?
Performance mode and Seward Highway - yeah, that’ll light up the “risk” sensors for sure. The tracking apps are a double-edged sword; they say it’s about safe driving, but one hard brake dodging a moose and suddenly you’...
