Stoned Driving Scams, Insurance Claims, and Colorado Statistics
A study by the Highway Loss Data Institute claims car insurance claims rose in states with legal marijuana, but the Colorado State Patrol reports a decrease in impaired driving accidents. The hosts characterize the conflicting reports as a "scam" by insurance companies to justify higher premiums. They argue that texting while driving is a far more significant cause of accidents than "stoned driving."
