Why Insurance Companies Suck – Worst Drivers Survey

 

In a recent desperate attempt to generate web traffic an insurance company, that will remain nameless, has released a list ranking states by best and worst drivers. Did this insurance company spend hundreds of thousands of dollars doing actual testing of Millions of licensed motorists? Did they gather a representative sampling of the population and take them for three days of written, oral and real world skills testing? Nope, they had 5000 people take written tests.

Yep, that’s right, 5000 of the over 200,000,000 licensed drivers in this country is apparently a representative sample to an insurance company. A company whose very ember of existence is based on statistical data. An industry who decides what to charge you based on the huge number crunching abilities they poses.
