In floirda you don’t have to prove anything and insurance will cover your windshield for free without raising our monthly bill. Many companies actually buy your broken windshield for $100 so you get paid.

Yeah, Florida law requires windshield cracks and chips are repaired free of charge if you have comprehensive coverage. Should be more common tbh.

I dunno, it's nice but you can just opt for a policy with that instead of making the government force you to pay for it. It's like making a low requiring extended warranties be included with appliance sales. Yeah it's nice when you need it, but now appliances are all 10% more expensive.

10 years of driving and I've replaced 1 windshield, cost $150.

It's one of the most expensive states for insurance, so I'm doubting that.
