Confessions of auto insurance agent

Here's a real misnomer about auto insurance, people say if you get a red sports car, that's like the kiss of death. Color has absolutely nothing to do with whether you get a speeding ticket or you don't," he said. If two cars are going 85 mph in a 65 mph zone, the police are not more likely to pull one over and issue a ticket because that car is red, Lawson said. When Lawson was studying to become a car insurance agent, he said the instructors made it a point to tell students that the red car theory is a falsehood.

The real problem with speeding tickets has to do with the drivers themselves, not the color of the car. "Some insurance companies are only equipped to deal with you if you get two tickets in a three year period. If you pick up three, you've gotten out of their underwriting mode where they're not going to renew you," he said.

Indeed, it is possible that a large portion of these could find their way into emerging markets such as China with positive effects on GDP. Various analyses suggest that such financial flows could offset the direct trade loss in a US recessionary scenario. Our analysis also shows a number of other positive and negative effects from a US slowdown. These are related to real exchange rate movements, shifts in terms of trade, consumption multipliers and various indirect trade effects from other countries back into China. But on balance we find it difficult to obtain a negative impact from a US recession on Chinese GDP that exceeds one percentage point.
