Car insurance rates are based on where the car is garaged. The Villages is a bit expensive because we have a lot of careless drivers. Rates also increase as you age. Each milestone birthday means a bump in car insurance.
After the Pandemic, I seem to notice that drivers in TV Land seemed to speed more and be more reckless like going through stop signs and other bad driving habits. Also, that may be due to a smaller Police presence (for some reason unknown to me).
