Subject: Poor neighborhoods don't make bad drivers!
Main Entry: 2red·line
Pronunciation: 'red-"līn, -'līn
intransitive senses
: to withhold home-loan funds or insurance from neighborhoods considered poor economic risks
transitive senses : to discriminate against in housing or insurance.

It also shows those with better "means" have a higher likelihood of voting than those who are struggling and most likely to worry about getting to work on election day. What happens if you have no health insurance and you have a heart attack? The hospital puts you into collection and you are therefore a "bad driver?" Give me a break!
