Insurance Myths

[icehead]

i've had several tickets. One doing close to 140 in my 2007 Maxima SL. none in the wifes Honda mini-van, even though i've had it up to 130. LOL! Hummer seems just what i need to slow down.

I was told that the reason they are more to insure is because they are large and heavy and the approach angles are high so it might be possible to run over and a smaller car.

I read that the reason to get pulled over in HUMMER is cause they are big and have a lot of flat surface areas and all the lights really help it stand out.

I'm not sure why everyone's Hummer in this post so far is slow, but either due to gears or a chip in ours I really must say has left many other trucks at a light wondering.

Well, I am a cop, and I have never yet pulled over a Hummer of any kind, and I have never been aware of any of my partners pulling one over. I think this "statistic" is pure crap. I would say that there is no one specific car that gets more tickets. That is the same as saying guns kill people. It's people, not things!

I've only been pulled over once in my H2. I was ticketed for failure to come to a complete stop while trying to avoid an accident ???

I've had cops pull me over in one of the Porsches for doing 40 plus over the limit and just got a warning.

My insurance company told me the reason the cost is so high on the Hummers is the amount of damage they can do in an accident. The cost on the GT2 is the same as the H2. Imagine, it will do 200mph and will do less damage ???

yeah that crap was on yahoo about 6 months ago talking about how they are the most ticketed cars on the road. ive never had a ticket in mine.. and never seen any pulled over. they excuse they gave was that it was bigger and flashier than most cars and cought the cops attention. as far as the ins. goes for the difference in price my mustang is only a few bucks less a month to insure
