Random question alert:

Anyone know how car insurance works in the USA... and is it cheaper than over here?

it's a lot higher ... you end up having to pay massive premiums over there because of the litigation aspects. ie you sneeze and the person in the car next to you claims for emotional stress at seeing your snot and can never work again ....

i was told if you promise not to sue anyone then it will affect the price too, but at the end of the day my place paid for it all so didnt really get involved. just signed the right forms and picked up my dodge neon lol
