in fact it wasn't me , it was the guy driving me arround at the time

cops wouldn't drop the 18 over , getting him at 68 on a 50 in a small town near the city I moved into . I tried lending a helping hand but at the time I had no change in my wallet .

The fee was 30 euros , which would be droped to 15 euros of paid in the next 48 hours . So we did that . The beauty is that his 300 euro / year insurance on his 96 renault is not affected by this .

When I asked , how come his insurance is so low , he explained to me that , the yearly insurance is a certain percentage of the car's value . I believe 4.5 % . This does not increase based on age and sexual discrimination meaning that if u're a 21 year old male , new driver with a clean driving record , your insurance is still the same .

Isn't it great

I was gonna tell newbieracer , in a thread but I got banned .

We were talking about , why I talk so much about canada , why don't I try to do something about it . For the few , old enough on this site , you might remember I have tried , on this very site , to put together a protesting organisation , to take the insurance companies ***** out of our asses .

But I was quickly discouraged by the responses I got . yea insurance in ontario is PURE PURE ABUSE , and nobody seems to be willing to do anything about it . Well I did ... got the **** out of there .

Good choice, I'm also on the fleeing side of Canada, somewhere that doesnt treat smokers like criminals and drivers like banks.

Zapa

the smoking part I agree ... allthough I was a former , convinced smoker , and currently , because I moved back to Europe , I seem to have a few cigarettes a day , I miss the fresh air from Canadian restaurants .

No matter what , it's a disgusting habbit which lowers the average life expectancies of entire nations

As for other parts of canada , what were u thinking ? I'd say Montreal is nice enough , but jobs and biz oportunities arn't as great , as for the rest ... I heard it's rather depressing .

You think? 60% of men in Japan smoke but their life expectancy is near the top, think its a fluke? Look at other countrys like San Marino, higher life expectancy, higher smoking rates. I don't know where the rumor that smoking reduces life expectancy came from, but its absolutely clearly not true.

I would expect you of all people not to fall for BS...

wow,Europe rules. Insurance here is the biggest scam there is.

Just like it's okay to drive drunk,right?

Ok....
If your a smoker.. then you know how bad it is for you. No question. Don't even try... It may be the diffrence in quality of cigs.... But I can feel it already... slowly.. killing me and my friends.

The Japanese have a totally diffrent lifestyle. If they came to north america and started to smoke I'm almost positive they wouldn't be living for so long.


Edit: Still can't get over the fact you say smoking doesn't kill people. You clearly need to get a reality check my friend, for tobacco is a monopoly of murder masked by the goverment.
