And people drive over from Alabama and they don't have to have car insurance there, so watch out!

WHAT?!!!!!!!!! :o

You know what ticks me off? Having to purchase mandatory insurance to cover me against drivers who don't HAVE insurance. So, in effect, I am buying their insurance so they don't have to. Unbelievable. :protest:

I think it depends on where you are. I live in UpState NY. But in NYC, driving requires taking a valium. It's sooo stressful and all the rules are different than ANY other city in the state of NY. It totally wires me and often I just take a train in. Thank God for public transportation. I also find driving in Atlanta HORRIBLE. Traffic literally seems to drop from the sky. And people drive over from Alabama and they don't have to have car insurance there, so watch out! I prefer driving at home. Not near the amount of traffic. Not so much crazy driving. The worst is the highway as it gets closer to Canada and that's the tourists or Canadians heading home. But driving in Accra, Ghana, requires being blindfolded. So my SO is going to be in for a HUGE surprise here. Imagine going from, make your own rules and often the roads aren't paved. It's crazy there.

RE: Alabama Drivers - yes they do.

I know first hand about that. Last month we were hit by an illegal mexican with no insurance - of course. He pulled out in front of us and then just left the scene before the police came. Despite the fact that we have uninsured motorist coverage and are covered for a hit and run accident there was a BIG catch. You need to PROVE to the insurance company (GMAC!!!) that the other driver didn't have insurance (police report is not evidence). My question is how are you supposed to prove the driver didn't have insurance when it was a hit and RUN accident???!!!!

Young drivers here have their driver seat so far back you can hardly see them. I really dont know how they see to drive , plus the music is so loud there windows are shaking.

I'll admit I'm quilty of the loud music when driving in our tiny little town or on the highway. Turn it down a bit when I'm driving in the city......

I'd look into that further - it doesn't sound right. The standard is that UM coverage will cover hit and runs, regardless of whether the owner can be identified. If they're going to deny your claim, there would have had to be some language in your policy that specifically excluded that situation.

Ever been to Italy??

Ever been to Mexico??

You have no idea what a bad driver is.

:yes::thumbs:

Ever since going to Peru, I might complain about idiots on the road, but bad drivers here are nothing compared to there. They make their own rules, and even bad driving (like here in FL) isn't as awful as good driving there. Ugh.

I've been to Italy. I've been to Mexico. I've been to Greece. I've been to Spain. I've been to many many countries. Hands down, the worst drivers are in Malta.

A friend of mine told me about her harrowing driving experience in the Puerto Rican countryside...one lane up a small mountain, no guardrails, and a large truck barreling down the mountain at the same time...

Needless to say, she let her mom drive after that...

:o Reminds me of my experience on the Amalfi coast. I had nightmares after that. I can safely say that I will NEVER do that again. :(
