Auto insurance
:  You'll quickly realize, if you haven't already, that most insurance policies and state standards are written in a funny code with slash marks.

The minimum state insurance standards are:

DC:  25/50/10
Virginia:  25/50/20
Maryland:  20/40/15

What does that mean?  See the definitions below to help you translate (all numbers are in thousands):

Funny code definitions:

*First number: Coverage for "bodily injury liability" (someone else’s injury) per person injured in an accident.
*Second number: Coverage for "bodily injury liability" per accident.
*Third number: Coverage for all property damage per accident.

For more information on auto insurance, see page 152 of our book.
