Potty mouth!

Wow, Josq.

How many people did you run over to get a rate like that?

Also, I want to marry Caroline due to her excellent deployment of commas, parenthetical asides, cussing, and cat photography.   Definitely not a young female CDM, as she seems to be able to follow sentences structured above the reading level of the average inner city junior high school student.

She did, however, use "be like" as a synonym for say.  That's one strike against her.  Also at least one fragment.

Young men are the most dangerous drivers. Highest rates. I think once you're in your twenties and have no crashes it starts to decline rapidly.

Still, that's 4 grand a year.  That's a crazy amount for insurance, even for a punk, which Squeeze isn't any more.

It is high, apparently average nowadays is £1000. But that's why most people are put on their parents' insurance

I mean, as you might recall, I had a couple of DUIs when I was a kid.  My insurance wasn't that high.  Was barely half that.

It's like $450 a year now.

The Top Gear bit on cars for Young people was hilarious.

You'd probably get banned from driving for one here - excluding other penalties. With two you'd be marked as high risk and may not automatically get your licence back once the ban's finished.

This is a huge cultural difference. I was speaking to a friend who was recently seconded to Texas and from his stories the attitude was different

My understanding of cars insurance in Great Britain is that it's unregulated, and therefore high risks can get charged really, really high amounts.  In US, at some point you're just going into the subsidized high risk pool, so it never gets completely insane.

The day I got married my insurance went down by half.

A young, female CdM?

I would never use an Oxford comma.   That's just colonial provincialism.

Says the guy with comma issues.

I'd fuck her and make her cat watch.  For the psychological trauma.
