I know someone who does this. She thinks it will save her insurance in the case of a rear end collision. She won't get pushed into the car in front of her.
She doesn't understand how demand lites work. I've stopped trying to convince her that the right move is to pull up once the car behind her has come to a complete stop.
Convinced she's a great driver...because she once drove a cab...but wanted to argue that cars fronts don't drop when the driver hits the brakes...never even heard of weight transfer.
The first step to replace the brake master cylinder on a new 'bug'? Remove front bumper. No bullshit. It's like the old bad jokes about English cars, but true.
Even my German cousin has VW on his 'never again' list. If you know any Germans, that should tell you just how shitty VWs are.
You can also sue the at fault insurer (typically in small claims) for diminished resale value. A wrecked and fixed car is worth less than an unwrecked car.
In America you will win, but they will make you take them to court. The insurance companies don't want people to know this is possible.
That's what they get for paying to much for a Neon.
WTF is a 'serious fender bender'?
Some cars have always wrecked 'more expensive' than others. BMWs have high insurance because they are totaled by hitting falling leaves.
I doubt the cars are being replaced quick enough to justify a 25% premium increase in 3 years. Also question why the insane increase is only in the UK.
This mess won't be fixed until the Ds also have a presidential candidate wiretapped during an election. They think like 5 year olds. Right now they think they 'got away with it'.
Humans have _more_ evolutionary need for pairbonds, as our huge headed offspring are helpless for longer than just about any other species.
Pair bonding is clearly an evolutionary adaptation to increase the survival rate of offspring. Species where the mother drops then abandons the kids don't pair bond, species where parents feed and raise the kids do. Sex and pair bonding are inexorably linked.

I was addressing this: the universe has decreed that no mathematically sound encryption can have a workable backdoor
Not true, but not relevant.
Pads are ancient 'strong encryption'. They existed at the time the constitution was written. Fuck the feds.
That's true, but they are also obvious chumps...
We won the XY chromosome lottery, that much is true. But ALL the breaks? Nonsense.

If it goes that long, we're as fucked as we would have been if Hillary had won (and the dirt never came out).
VWs are just _terrible_ these days.

Bullshit. Gender affects risk, but can only be used to charge men more.
Explain why in life insurance it's OK to use gender (to charge men more)?

Gender, check.
Race, One negroplasty please.
Do dolphins get insurance discounts?

Do you know a password manager that will automagically signup for new throwaway emails? (I'll do the captcha if needed)
That would be a useful feature.
Bumper covers have been about half (in terms of $) of all bodywork in America for decades.
Aren't most backup cameras etc in the tailgate/trunk lid?
3 years represents what % of the English car fleet? I know they junk cars in the UK when still almost new. Weird laws...not as bad as Japan.
How is that not untrustworthy in every sense?

Give it 3-4 years until it's addressed.
Making a third copy of a one time use pad and giving it to the cops is workable encryption with a workable backdoor (it's as secure as the pads are).
But fuck the feds with a rusty pipe anyhow. Even if it's possible, it's not a good outcome.
Not all printers. EFF maintains a list. Reward OKI for their finger to the NSA. Don't buy from collaborators.
It is fair and just to charge young men more for car insurance, it's just actuarial reality.
It is evil and wrong to charge young women more for health insurance, actuaries are sexists.
I thought this had been long covered...
WTF changed 3 or 4 years ago in Britain? Major insurer closed? Change in liability laws? Lucas electric reopened?
25% in 3 years? Was it being artificially held down?
Minor details like power captured in the average day?
You, in fact, clearly don't 'know' anything about it, but are a committed D. You should just shut up and let this whole sordid mess fade into history.
Also study calc.
Your brain is the product of millions of years of evolution. 50 years in nothing.
Even gay men, the ultimate 'seeking friction' population, pair bond.
It's rooted in biology and raising offspring.
Rodeo sex...doggy, call her by her sisters name and try to hang on for 8 seconds, holding her by the hair with only one hand.
Things I learned on the internet, that I'd rather not know.
Necrophiles group themselves into two camps. Moldy oldies and gooey Louie's.
Thought I'd share.
'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' is a fictional visual depiction of child porn. So is 'Porky's', so is 'Animal House' etc etc
Some of the naked characters were high school students.
You think we've evolved past it?

The US also has a long, long history of using loan guarantees to hide graft and bribery - like Solyndra.
