| Oh and that stupid Geico commercial where the green lizard dude is talking with a fake Larry King. ( I took a few Minutes and switched from Geico and saved a ton of money on my Car insurance ) About 450 dollars a year. Went with Allstate. That's no joke. |
I hate Geico! April 16, 2000 I moved from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to Stafford, Virginia, USA. When I got off the highway 401, speed limit 100km/hr / 62miles/hr, and got on the Bridge to the USA, the speed limit dropped to 50km/hr / 31miles/hr. I was not focusing on my speed but instead worrying that the border agents might find some flaw in my paperwork and deny me my T1-VISA. The OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) setup a speed trap and clocked me going 78km/hr / 49miles/hr on the bridge. The next day I switched my car insurance to Geico but did not tell them about the speeding ticket since I thought they could not check on it since it was in Canada. Two weeks later Geico called to say they were dropping me because they had ruled me a high risk driver! In Virginia, going 20 or more miles/hr over the speed limit is considered reckless. I tried explaining I was 28 km/hr over with is less than 20miles/hr and the officer did not write me up as reckless but to no avail!
