its not just the z drivers. we are just more prone to looking for accidents that involve z's. thats just life. If you read on it says its the 2nd fatal accident within 2 days. **** happens

Regardless of whether or not it was the Z driver's fault, the occupants are dead, and it's one less Z on the road. Fatal accidents occur every day, but it seems like there are more involving Zs lately.

my insurance hasnt gone up yet. if youre a responsible driver your premium should not go up just because someone with the same car got in an accident.

That's why Nissan makes a base model, you can wreck them and then buy another one for cheap.

I don't think rates go up simply due to accidents, but the actuarians actually measure how much each accident costs for a particular car and will adjust rates if repair costs are different than what they originally calculated. If people are dying more often than they calculated and they are in a particular age group, expect rates to go up for that age group. Some members have reported recently that rates have increased due to no accidents or tickets on their part.

Sounds like they weren't wearing seatbelts...

lane myers

yea, which is crazy to begin with if you're going to drive aggressively... and clearly that is some flippin aggressive driving to flip and slide a hundred feet - doesnt sound like a seatbelt would have saved these guys in this case... but they could have had more of a chance? being thrown from a rolling car cant have to high a survival rate.

but i agree, it does sound like there has been a lot of Z accidents lately.

My insurance went from $569 last 6 mn to $639 6mn with no claims or bad driving record. I'm 52 too! I pretty sure I'm getting screwed! Been with State Farm for 25 years, maybe it's time for a change.

Damn, you need to shop around. I am paying around $500 a year for the Z. Granted I have my home & 2 other vehicles insured with them as well.

I never thought I would be in an accident.. but I was involved in one.. I was very shocked to see me in this situation but anyway.. this idiot hit my passanger door on the freeway.. I guess i was on his blind spot cuz he kept saying i didn't see him.. so I told geico that and they didn't raise my insurance.. cuz i told them i would switch if they did cuz it wasn't my freakin fault.. anyway my Z is at the shop getting fixed.. I was lucky as only a dent was the damage to my car.. to me it seems like we got so many haters.. and they jst want to crash into us..lol I find no other explanation..
