Replying to: jipster (Jan 05, 2009 11:55 am) I strongly agree. In the end, the most important safety device is located between the driver's ears.

Replying to: jimbres (Jan 05, 2009 12:04 pm) I wish that all of my driving school students could start out in a car like my 1975 2002; no electronics whatsoever, skinny 80 Series radials, and less than 100 hp. Today's modern cars can make the most ham-fisted driver look good.

Replying to: joel0622 (Jan 05, 2009 12:10 pm) I wonder if Equifax scoring in the US and Canada is measured the same. The lowest I've seen here was a 399 score, the highest, a high 700. Most sub prime apps we get are in the low 500 range.

Replying to: jipster (Jan 05, 2009 11:55 am) My father-in-law is a retired fire & rescue chief, and although technically I would totally agree with your statement above, I can assure you that many fire & rescue workers have been injured pretty badly when airbags have gone off after an accident, as they're trying to rescue someone inside a banged up vehicle. Thankfully my F.I.L. has never been injured himself this way, but has seen airbags go off in this type of situation and he says it absolutely scares the $*&! out of you. Basically like a steering wheel mounted grenade going off while you're attempting the rescue. Scary stuff. |

Replying to: boomchek (Jan 05, 2009 12:58 pm) You have to work at getting a score in the 300's LOL. The lowest I have ever seen was a 342 and the highest was in the low 800's. I think credit scores are all a bunch of bullshit myself. Its just another way for a bank to justify squeezing a few more dollars out of you.

Replying to: jmonroe (Jan 05, 2009 9:23 am) Sorry  Don't take it personally.....I am not accusing you of driving without a seatbelt. I am just saying that we are better off having every safety device possible within our budget.....because no matter how good a driver you are....there are a lot of really bad drivers out there.
