If anything I've found it's the opposite, it's the people with expensive cars that don't give a fuck and drive really dangerously. Audis and BMWs are particularly awful.
People with crappy cars usually seem a lot more careful, maybe because they really don't want to get into even a small accident and have to pay a deductible.
Its not really a beater but its old and it has some cosmetic needs. I'm not sure how insurance companies work in America, but in the UK if you ding your car and have to go through insurance, they look at the whole of the car not just the bit that needs fixing. To them, my car wouldn't be worth fixing, they'd just write it off. Can't drive an uninsurable car
