    A great reason to carry a very high limit UM/UIM. Even if the person does carry a policy it could be a dinky 40k limit.

    Yes, and a piece of milk pie too..for those who are not from the PA Dutch country, milk pie is another delicacy that has very little in it, except milk, flour, butter/lard, salt and a crust; like shoe fly pie, except no molasses. No that’s good eatin’!

    We have seen a significant increase in Cancellations (non pays!) and policies expiring at renewal. Up approximately 25% over last year.

    We are for the first time in over ten years (trying) to call on every single cancellation and doing rewrites up the yazoo!!

    We are is So Cal. What are you other agents doing?

    Milk Pie? This is the insurance journal. You need to take your comments to the food network website forum with Rachel Ray

    I have already implemented strong action to urge clients to keep their vehicle insurance in force. I have been strongly recommending UM/UIM for some time, especially for those who have no group or health insurance. There are still those who “sell” ID proof of insurance cards without ever issuing coverage. :-(

    a carDepending on where your were, bikes are allowed on many inatsrttees, but that really has nothing to do with this law. It has nothing to do with interstate highways, federal law already allows states to ban or allow bicycles on freeways. Some states ban them, some allow them. This law has more to do with federal roads in federal forests and other federal lands. As to the user fee, since highways are funded by income and property taxes, people riding bicycles already pay for the roads they ride on. Further, the vast majority of people who ride bicycles drive cars and pay wheel taxes, vehicle registration fees and gas taxes. The motor vehicle fees pay 100% of the cost of highways and roads, then it would be logical to ask bicycles to fund 100% of bicycle lanes and trails and shoes 100% of sidewalks and paths. Until that happens, people riding bicycles are being taxed enough already.Finally, on this comment forum, we have a culture of using our names for comments. Please consider doing so as well in the future.Thanks
