*****OFF TOPIC***** "Their people in vhicles is expensive vs the internet." I believe Progressive went to vehicles because they found that if they could respond quickly -- like arriving at the scene of the accident and showing legitimate concern -- people in the accident would settle claims more quickly and more inexpensively than if they (the people) had a few days to consider the situation and maybe get legal advice or legal representation. If so, it may be that Progressive finds agents with vehicles are ultimately less expensive than the internet. I don't know.
