@deeva It's legal in Florida.

When my rates for auto went up $400 for NO reason, my agent said that many insurance companies are refusing to cover NYS. They are choosing which states they will do business in....thus limiting our choices as well.

Regulations too high, too many claims.....they don't want to deal w/ NY.

I wish I didn't have to deal w/ NY either! LOL

@Imaoldhippie did you try AARP?

@CelticCrafter isn't that what AARP does??? They are target driven for seniors

@millieshops

That's surprising. But honestly, I see too many older drivers who can't hear or can barely stand up straight getting behind the wheel.

My next door neighbor is a prime example.

Yikes, that's kind of scary... another reason I stick with my State Farm since 1988 and through the same agency (which my kids say I shouldn't do). Yes, it's getting more expensive but I can't put a price on my peace of mind.

We're hearing horror stories about the increase for RV insurance, we're good until June . . . but we're already looking. Most of our friends have seen a 35+% increase.

I'm old and went through AARP to get Hartford coverage for my car and home.

Hartford has an app for the phone that tracks your driving and (while I hate it), it has reduced my auto premiums a lot.

AARP offers an online driving refresher course that will also reduce premiums at Hartford.

Well, working in the Eye care field for decades, I can believe this. There were many seniors that came into our office who legally, because of their vision, shouldn't have driving but were anyway. Insurance companies have done this for as long as I can remmeber for young male drivers, so I am not surprised.
@KittySoftPaws. In New Mexico, seniors have to have a yearly eye exam to renew their driver's licenses. It's quite an inconvenience.

An eye exam every year is something all of us seniors shoud do. Catch any changes in your eyes early. Wish they did that every where. I always get my eyes checked once a year. No big deal.
