RE: Why I was surprised to learn Nebraska requires uninsured motorist coverage
That line cracked me up because it’s painfully true. The “acts of God” clause is basically a get-out-of-jail-free card for insurance companies. I swear, if a leaf falls in just the wrong way, suddenly it’s divine interve...
RE: When The Other Driver Has No Insurance And Dings Your Car
Honestly, I’ve always thought UMPD is a bit of a gamble. Like, you pay for it and then maybe it bails you out… or maybe your claim gets denied because of some technicality. I stick with collision too, even though the pre...

I totally get where you’re coming from. The whole idea of a company knowing when you brake, how fast you go, or even just tracking your routes feels a little invasive. I tried one of those plug-in trackers for a few mont...
RE: Getting caught without car insurance in Iowa is no joke
I get the logic behind keeping a paper copy, but honestly, I just rely on my insurance app. Maybe I’m tempting fate, but I’ve never had an issue pulling it up when needed. - sure, but paper gets lost or outdated too. Pl...
