Cheaper Car Insurance For Gamers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hand-eye-coordination dept.

I know your first reaction is that this story is gonna be an ad, but SpuriousLogic's story is actually about insurers considering giving a discount to elderly gamers. The question is: does gaming improve mental agility and make you a safer driver? And if so, I'll have to add gaming to mowing the lawn for my weekly chores.

  1. Summary not wrong, but somewhat misleading by Zontar_Thing_From_Ve · · Score: 5, Informative

    I know it goes against the norm, but I actually read the article. It clearly states that the drivers in this program must play a very specific game designed to improve visual alertness. So if you thought that Allstate (the "insurers" in this article) was going to give discounts to WOW players, think again.
