Of course, this would probably apply to ANY test Texans are given, say like, 'what is 2+2?' We would probably still be at the bottom. And it also makes that almost everyone in the country is smarter than those from Washington DC. | ||

So what's the point? They asked 20 questions to 100 people per state, out of millions of licensed drivers and that is purported as a viable cross section? What sort of silly demographic nonsense it this? They insult my intelligence , expecting me to accept this as meaningful? And what does the brain dead bunch at CNN do but attempt to give it credence, by airing it. Must have been an extremely slow day at the newsdesk. I'm curious as to whether the questions were as facetious as the test? ...JJ | ||

It's just another reason I'm glad I dumped GMAC and went to Progressive. | ||

I agree with JJ. No need of question but just report which have accident ratio per population, period. It does not mean good or bad driver with out considering condition of road safety in focus. It what keep CNN and all other broadcaster busy to get more viewers busy watching while paid advertisings get more expose to their product equal $$$$$$.(period) So we need to be careful what true or fake or unproven or unbiased news is. So many of news is unbiased that it only shows negative to get people upset to continue watching day after day while being filled with advertising. I don’t watch TV except true history, racing and major event such as Twin Tower disaster & weather warning & aftermath. FWIW Sojourn for Christ, Jerry | ||

jj- I had both cars and the RVs with them. When they wanted to charge me almost the double amount to change from the RV to the bus conversion, I started looking elsewhere. They claimed the bus conversion was a higher risk, since it can do more damage to others. What do they care about selling -me- insurance, they underwrite other insurance companies and make money anyway.. | ||
