Buying car insurance doesn't alter the chances of your car breaking
down on a long trip. Insurance doesn't alter the chances of something
bad happening. Driver training, seat belts, and spare tires are things
which can reduce risk.
A warranty is not a substitute for due dilegence.
How can you perform due dilegence on a carrier? With a car, you
can open the trunk and check the spare tire. What is the best way
to check a spare circuit?
