I really want to give whoever invented insurance a big swift kick in the nuts with my steel toed boots.

[FAPTurbo]

I own two Grand Theft Auto games. So I think I'll be screwed.

What's next? 'First Person Shooter' players are going to have to pay higher life and health insurance premiums because their games tend encourage dangerous behaviour? Insurance companies will be afraid to insure MMORPG players because the company will fear that the player will go all 'Leroy Jenkins' in certain situations?...

Most 'g@m3rz' are men, and men tend to drive more recklessly anyway. Hey, guess what? Most people who are 1337 tend to be young males as well! So really all these morons found out, is that young males tend to drive more recklessly than the general population.

Ding, Ding, Ding!!! They want a cookie?

Young males have generally been more 'reckless' since the dawn of time. It's a fact. All the Germans did was find some weird connection betwteen video games and driving! OMYGODWTFBBBQZORZ!?!1?

There are Final Fantasy players who drive like total nutjobs. I have seen a dude who will only play RPG's do burnouts in the street in broad daylight with people and traffic all around in front of his school.

It's always the Germans that spoil everybody's fun, isn't it.

[Intrepidation]

Lie.

I play Burnout...do you think I'd drive in real life like I do in that game? Seriously, who the hell comes up with this?

Geez, the insurance companies are almost as bad as the gas companies. . anything to make an extra buck these days! It's all B.S! but we still let them get away with it.

Because you don't have a choice. Simple as that.

Now that I think about it, they said if I get caught without insurance, it's $6000 in fines, but at one point I was paying more than that for actual insurance...

[capriceman]

um i have been driving recklessly and poorly way before i played a racing game.

So Now my insurance will be higher yeah i will lie about that. Im paying 5800 as it is 4 cars 2 people no records or at fault accidents. ridiculous.

Test Drive Unlimited comes out today for PC yeah!
