I've only been in two accidents, In both, the other driver was a young (20's) male NOT carrying his license and NOT insured. The second time the guy Claimed he had insurance...when I called the company the next day, they said he hadn't been with them for two years. If you are driving in ANY major metropolitan area, I strongly advise you to get this additional insurance. {ucbvax!hplabs | allegra!nbires | decvax!noao | harpo!seismo | ihnp4!noao} !hao!kitten CSNET: kitten@NCAR ARPA: kitten%ncar@CSNET-RELAY
