Europe does not trigger this problem, nor does China, Japan, and a host of other countries I typically travel to. I am sure there are other places that I don't travel to that do trigger the same rider. None of these increased costs are triggered by the increased risk you associate with vehicle accidents.

That means these guys have real numbers. How do we see the numbers? Or do they just have the premiums? Where are the numbers?

I thought Bellarus & old Yugo, greece, southern italy, and Turkey were dangerous. no premium?
