A few days ago I read a piece in the "Wall Street Journal" about how my insurance company is offering a way for customers to reduce their premiums. They install a computer in your car that monitors your driving habits -- your speed, braking, acceleration, things like that -- and if you stay within safe parameters, you get a break on your premium.
I liked the sound of that and called my insurance agent the next day. The first question they asked was: Do you drive more than 7,500 miles a year? Well, yeah, of course I do: all those trips to Starbucks and the Y add up. Oh, then sorry, they said, you don't qualify. It turns out the program is designed for senior citizens who barely drive at all.
