Driver for 50 Years Buys Ist Insurance
Frank Gibney, 69, of 715 Line Age, after half a century of driving without coverage, finally buys automobile insurance amid two recent tickets. He recalls his first car and a 1928 rear-end accident paid by the at-fault driver’s insurer. An omen of sorts arrived with a loading-zone ticket, but a 1935 Los Angeles police hero card for safe driving tempered his decision. He remains skeptical of needing insurance yet admits sharper vigilance now.
