Personally I'm willing to pay a little extra to know I'm not going to have to deal with bullshit like that, or having to spend a bunch of time comparing insurers to make sure there isn't some fine print that lets them weasel out of paying a claim. And like westopher I'll pay a little extra now knowing that the same system made it so I could actually afford to drive when I was a broke teenager.

Yes, I've read about this happening in California & NJ as well. The insurance company snooped through the social media postings for one guy and saw a picture of his car on track and so they cancelled all his policies (including home), the reason, "In the agents words, "We only insure regular, drive-to-work cars."".
