Yeah, but just because you don't suck at it doesn't make you the majority. Probably the percentage of bad drivers are the same here in Maine, but fortunately you're less likely to meet them because our population levels are lower and we're spread out over a larger area.

"I'm sorry, miss, but it recently came to our attention that your name is misleading...so you're going to be seeing a 74% increase on your next bill"

 

True that

 

The only thing to hit here is deer, the occasional moose, and a couple of siblings whose lovemaking rumble spilled out into the road.

 

Conway's pretty well-developed; I can't imagine there's a lot of that.
Now, Gorham or Errol...different story.

 

The Asian surcharge

 

I have to be more careful of that now than I used to be. I went on a vendetta against the PD from my only ticket and it resulted in the city changing a bunch of speed limit signs and the ticket getting thrown out in about 15 seconds in the hearing. I'm convinced I squashed a pretty substantial revenue generator for them and they're not happy with me and wouldn't cut me any slack at this point.

 

"Do you know how fast you were going?"
"I don't know...10?"
"Eight"
"Isn't the speed limit 10?"

I'm sure most AT tires would be an improvement over the O.E. Dunlops that I'm running today.

 

AT3's are definitely a better tire than some of their more aggressive options if you're doing much highway. The GF and I used to joke that the 'ST' in the Coopers I had stood for 'Singing Tires' because of how loud they were on the road.

 

And lots and lots of trees!

 

Anything would be an improvement over those things!

 

Middle finger push ups, forget the horn.

I think you mean realist. They know males are much more prone to putting the pedal down and trying to drift around every corner and/or trying to catch air on a public road.

Fixed that for you. Don't lump the rest of the beautiful state in with the dysfunctional colon that is NYC

 

Yeah! I'd never do that! Or drive over sidewalks when my passenger tells me they have to pee and the bumps are killing her...

 

Meh. The girls that I know are much more likely to be on their cell phones while they're driving, though. One of them actually texts while she's driving and steers with her knee, which makes me yell at her.

 

I think women would be more prone to be in a fender bender while men are more likely to cause some real damage through stupidity. I know how I drove when I first got my license compared to girlfriends or lady friends of the time.

Does the insurance wage gap go away as we get older?

 

Tough to say because there's so many variables. The GF has a higher insurance rate than I do, but she's got a sports car instead of a truck, and she's got an accident on her record from when she ditched her Honda during a storm in 2013

 

"know when to hold em.... know when to fold em... know when to walk away... know when to run..."

Yes! Lots and lots of glorious trees

If you're not driving like its a rally, you're doing it wrong. Catching air on public roads is a way of life.

L.I. is horrible too........ Most of NY sucks.

 

The earth should just swallow queens
