Believe it or not, I remember when cell phones didn’t exist. When we first started using cell phones, they were enormous. Everyone drove with a brick secured between the ear and shoulder, using only the earpiece's speaker. It was just like holding an old telephone receiver wedged against the head. No one saw any problem with that. No wonder the chiropractic business has flourished as it has. Oh, how things have changed. Or have they? I still see people trying to hold a thin smartphone against their ears with their shoulders. Sigh.

The short answer is YES! That is, if you drive a little. Many pay-per-mile plans start you with a low rate based on the estimated mileage you think you will travel. After a month or two of reporting to the insurance company, they will adjust your monthly payment or send a bill for the difference if you paid in full for six months.
