The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is home to the famous Indy 500 and the United States’ first long-distance auto race in 1911. Carmel City boasts more roundabouts—124 and counting as of April this year—than any other city in the country. Up north, you’ll find the R.V./Motorhome Hall of Fame, a museum and event space dedicated to homes on wheels.
And if that doesn’t entice you, then how about Holiday World—a holiday-themed theme park located in Santa Claus, Indiana? Like the rest of the state, it comes with stick-to-your-ribs comfort foods, fried whenever possible.

But essentially, the more often you speed—and the higher your mph—the more points you’ll receive on your driver’s license. Higher points mean higher prices in the car insurance game. The best way to lower costs? Slow down and find a discount program, like a defensive driving course reduction.
