No George. Stupidity is covered by all auto insurance policies. They just will not pay for intentional acts.

Although my 1st towd was a 92 Geo Tracker stick shift and the Even Brake bracket would not attach very well to the very-small brake pedal on the Geo Tracker. I had to secure it with cable ties and cut them off when ever I removed the Even Brake. I now have a towd with auto trans so the brake pedal is larger and no longer a problem to attach to.
