Subject: Re: Questions about insurance companies (esp. Geico)
RADAR (Radio Association Defending Airwave Rights) says that Geico
insurance not only buy's Radar for police but also actively lobbies
states to promote making Radar Detectors illegal. I think the
buying part is a misuse of money but the Radar Detector part shows
how little they know about the issue. No study I am aware of has ever
concluded that detectors have a negative impact on safety or that
users have a higher average speed. Incompetence by Geico? I think
so.
