Had a similar situation with my nephew a few years back. Figured he’d only use my car for errands, but then he got into a minor scrape in a parking lo...
I totally get where you’re coming from. I remember one time I was pulled over and my phone decided it was the perfect moment to update itself—couldn’t...
I used to swear by higher deductibles too, especially when my car was newer and I babied it. But after a couple of “unlucky” years—one hailstorm, one ...

I hear you—insurance always feels like betting against yourself. I skipped accident forgiveness for years, figuring I’d just drive extra careful and p...
Had something similar happen a few years back. Someone clipped my side mirror while merging into my lane (I was literally just driving straight ahead)...
