Edit, and a few noticeable increases in pedestrian/pedacycle collisions (boo!)
Sorry for missing this summary... so today's prices, 15 dollars/yr, 10% reduced chance of crashing my car. Yeah, I'm leaving them on. The frequency of car crashes is likely much greater than moto/bike/ped accidents, so the 10% is of major significance.
