About DB

DB was a French automobile maker between 1938 and 1961. The firm was founded by Charles Deutsch and René Bonnet. It produced light sports cars with fiberglass bodies mainly powered by Panhard flat-twin engines.

DB was very active in competition especially in Le Mans 24 Hours. Deutsch introduced some very efficient and influential aerodynamic designs which allowed DB race cars to reach impressive top speed despite the small Panhard flat-twin engine.

Deutsch and Bonnet disagreed whether they should build cars with front-wheel drive or with central engine.

Charles Deutsch left DB in 1961 to found his own firm (CD) and DB became Automobiles René Bonnet, producing cars powered by Renault engines, which later became Matra Automobiles.

Car Insurance FAQs #2

How does my driving record affect my insurance premium?

The premium you pay is a direct reflection of your driving record for the past three to five years depending on the insurance company. Insurance companies order driving records from the DMV of your residence state and from other states where you've been licensed. Statistics show that drivers with tickets and accidents are more likely to have accidents than drivers with clean records.

Why is it harder to get insurance if drivers in my household have bad driving records?
