    3,400 (entirely preventable) distracted driving deaths, and that’s not even scratching the surface of 391K people injured in distracted driving accidents in 2015 alone (Source: https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/distracted-driving).

    I wonder if car insurance rates for electric cars will finally start to decline this year? I thought about going electric but was deterred by the higher repair costs and insurance premiums. Anyone know if the 20% insurance difference is actually true? (Source: https://pennygeeks.com/blog/is-car-insurance-more-expensive-for-electric-cars/)
