Parallel parking is definitely not an easy mission, but when it takes over two minutes, it looks funny. When it's over four minutes, it's hilarious. For the end of September, here is such hilarious video.

Four Minute Parallel Parking

The Ease of Being Stopped
Today I don't have a news item to show you, but a list of people who don't think. The Police Blotter on Cleveland.com gives a list of four people who were stopped and arrested for the easiest reason to stop people: speeding.
The first is a 31 year old woman who was stopped on September 9. She was stopped for speeding, and a breath test revealed a BAC of 0.11%, over the legal limit.
The second one is a 37 year old man who, once again, was speeding (over 50 mph in a 35 mph zone). Once again, he was stopped, took the test, and got a 0.11% BAC. Another potential accident off the road.
The third one is about a 35 year old man who was stopped for speeding. He refused to take the breath test, which means, of course, an admission in drunk driving.
The last one is a 29 year old man from Cleveland who was driving at 67 mph in a 25 mph zone ("just" 42 mph over the limit). This man won't drive a car for a long time.
These four criminals are off the road, but there are thousands more out there. Be careful!

The Pass Plus Insurance Benefit
You may remember "Pass Plus", a course that refreshes and enhances driving knowledge of drivers. Even more than becoming an educated driver, it makes you a driver who pays less for insurance. Don't believe? Read this article by Kim Chambers.
Pass Plus is the Ideal Way to Reduce Car Insurance Quotes
Newly qualified drivers are among of the most vulnerable people on the road and statistically one of the most likely factions of the driving population to have an accident on the road.
According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA), 20 per cent of all drivers will have an accident in their first year of driving. It is because of statistics like this that drivers who have only passed their driving test recently are stung with the most expensive car insurance quotes from insurers.
As a newly qualified driver one of the best methods to take the edge off those hefty car insurance quotes and make insuring your vehicle more reasonable is to take the Pass Plus course. Pass Plus was designed specifically by the DSA in order to give additional training to fresh drivers in the more advanced techniques of driving.
By taking the Pass Plus course, your existing driving knowledge will be extended and improved and you will be taught how to become a more defensive driver, more aware of your surroundings, and better equipped to deal with adverse situations. Vehicle insurance companies recognise the additional effort required to put yourself through Pass Plus and as a result can reduce their car insurance quotes by up to a third.
Pass Plus focuses on six core areas, each of which will help you become a better driver and bring you one step closer to cheaper car insurance. The Pass Plus modules cover driving in town, driving at night, driving in adverse weather conditions, and driving on the different road types (including motorways).
Gaining practical experience of driving in heavy rain or at night can make a big difference to your driving ability, as well as preparing you for some of the hazards of driving. Pass Plus will give you a wider knowledge of what causes skidding in icy conditions for example, and how to avoid accidents on the road in these challenging conditions.
The great thing about Pass Plus is that the course is available to all newly qualified UK licence holders and there is no test at the end of the course. Having passed the course, you will be able to go to insurance companies with a certificate which guarantees you cheaper car insurance quotes, which can be all important in your first year of driving before you start benefiting from a no-claims bonus.
Kim has extensive knowledge in all kinds of insurance.She has written many articles on car insurance to help find the best deals available.

The Unbelievable U-Turn
Sometimes people do things that I simply can't understand. I mean it. A few days ago I saw something so illegal and so dangerous I was simply shocked. Literally. I just sat in my car and stared at the amazingly stupid person who made a U-turn in the most inappropriate place.
Imagine a three-way intersection with traffic lights. I was coming from the side which has no left turn, only going straight ahead or turning right. The person I mentioned before was just ahead of me. He entered the intersection in green light and made a U-turn.
Do you see how dangerous it was? People coming from the opposite direction were not ready for this, since it shouldn't happen. Ever. It was very, very close to an accident.
Have a great, idiot free weekend.

Pass With Online Courses
One way to pass the written and practical driving tests is, as I write here every other Friday, online courses. Once again, if you haven't been conviced yet, here is an article I wrote about this issue.
Online Driving Courses Can Help You Pass Your Driver's Test
When looking online for tips and ideas about passing your driver's test, you'll undoubtedly come across many horror stories and myths. Instead of allowing yourself to become nervous and intimidated, though, you should spend your time studying and preparing by reading guides and taking practice tests.
You should also spend time practicing driving every day. Take what you learn from the written material and apply it to your driving. Watch how-to videos online also so that you'll know what to expect on the day of your examination.
Also keep in mind that the driving road test examiners themselves sometimes share details online about what it is that they look for. By knowing what your examiner is looking for, you'll know what to do and what to do be careful not to do. Don't allow yourself to become too obsessed with trying to avoid mistakes, though---just drive as smoothly and naturally as you can.
If you've taken the test before and failed, then work on your weak spots. What do you have trouble with? What mistakes did you make that resulted in failure? Learn from these mistakes and work on improving your weak points. Never forget that learning is an ongoing process, and that it's okay if you can't get the hang of everything at once.
You're not going to become an expert driver overnight, so take your time and practice, study, and prepare every single day. If you have trouble with anything, keep working on it until you get it. Also, read tips online about how to improve in certain areas. You can also take online courses that'll teach you a lot more than most traditional classes do.
You can learn all about driving online, including secrets that aren't found in your DMV study guide. Be sure to check out online driving courses and lessons so that you can get your driver's license.
Hope you found it useful,

The 230 MPG Electric Car
How would you like a car that does 230 miles per gallon with city driving? A car which requires only 13.5 gallons of gas to go from Los Angeles to New York? Well, such car is on its way, at least by the look of the tests. This is the Chevy Volt.
The test drive on the test mule went quite smoothly. There is no regular engine in use in this car, so noise and pollution are not a factor. Even when the regular engine comes into play, it is hardly felt, since unlike a hybrid car, it does not turn on and off often.
Hopefully this car will come out soon, so we can all enjoy it. Its reduced noise, reduced pollution, and a totally new driving experience.

Your Way to an HGV License
In hard times, people will take any job presented to them. If you need such job, you may want to consider being an HGV driver and earn a very good income. Here's an article by J Mikula about this.
Tips For Passing Your HGV Theory Test
The theory test for HGV is one of the tests you will need to take before you can get your HGV license. This is taken before the practical test, but for this you need to have a provisional license.
The test is a lot like the test for standard driving. There are two parts, with a multiple choice section and a hazard perception section. You need to get a minimum number of marks in each before you can pass. The test is conducted on computers with touch screen.
The multiple choice section:
This section gives you questions with multiple answers that you need to choose one from. You will be given more instructions when you sit on the computer screen about how to attempt this. It is a good idea to ask questions of the examiner before you start. You will also be given with the opportunity to take a practice test to familiarize yourself. Do take the opportunity.
When you start, you will be able to see the question, with a number of possible answers. You will have to choose one or more as the correct answer. The tip in this is to first figure out which answers it cannot be, and remove them from the list and then choose. This gives you a higher probability of scoring correctly even if you have to guess, since guessing from two is more likely to be accurate than guessing from four.
There are one hundred questions in this part; you will have just about under an hour for this. This means you have a little over one minutes per question so you need to be quick. If you don't know the answer to a question, just highlight it and come back to it at the end if you have time left. You need to get eighty five questions right to pass.
The Hazard Perception Section:
This section includes watching videos and looking out for potential hazards on the road, as if you were driving on it yourself. Ask any questions in the beginning. Sometimes, there will be more than one hazard on the road, so make sure you look at the video correctly. This test will mark you based on your response time. The earlier you respond to a hazard, the more points you will score, so make sure you are attentive. You can score up to five points on each video, with a total of twenty videos making 100 points. You need to get 67 to pass, but you can't come back to any videos at the end so make sure you answer all the questions.
Just like for any other test, make sure you read up on your materials before you come in for the test and make sure you get enough sleep the night before. Once you pass this test, you can apply for your practical test and get your HGV license; therefore it is important that you pass this test first so you can get your license quickly.

Problematic Mergers
From all kinds of drivers, one of the most annoying kinds is problematic mergers. These are people who have no idea how to merge in traffic, but have a perfect solution: slowing everyone down.
Where can you find these people? Everywhere you need to merge. In freeways, in highways, and after intersections with no right turn light. Wherever lanes merge, you can find a problematic merger.
These annoying people tend to slow down significantly or stop completely, and only then try to merge with traffic. The problem is that in order to merge, you need to accelerate. Apparently, these people don't know this simple fact.
Have a great weekend filled with good drivers,

Getting Commercial Auto Insurance
Not all drivers drive a standard car. Some drive trucks, some drive buses. Those people need a special insurance for the vehicles. Here is an article I wrote about getting insurance for those vehicles.
Need Commercial Auto Insurance? Find Out Where to Begin!
Do you need commercial auto insurance? If you've been asking yourself this question, then you're not alone. It's pretty common these days for business owners to debate whether or not they need insurance for their companies. If you, or any of your employees, ever need to use a car for business purposes, then you'll need commercial car insurance plans.
If the vehicle is owned by your company, make sure you add the name of the company on the policy rather than your own. This is because any insurance you get for your business will be separate from your own. Therefore, if you ever need to file a claim in the future, or if a claim is ever filed against your company, it will be easy to set things straight if your insurance plans are separated.
If you're worried about whether or not you really need commercial auto insurance for your company, you need to at least do some research on the internet or consult with an agent. If you ask an agent for advice, you will be asked some questions about your business. Who will be driving your company vehicle? You, your employees, or both? How often is the vehicle in use for business purposes? Don't become nervous when asked these questions; the agent will only be asking them in order to determine what type of commercial car or truck insurance you can qualify for.
You can still do some research on the internet first, if you so choose. There are some great websites that will allow you to request commercial auto insurance quotes. While you're at it, make sure you understand the laws in your state. It all may seem confusing at first, but finding affordable, auto insurance for your company isn't as hard as you may think.
There are many reasons why you should get commercial auto insurance. If you want to protect your company and its reputation, you need to always take precaution. Anything could happen while you or your employees are out on the road, therefore having commercial auto insurance can save you thousands of dollars!

Practical Physics Lesson
This story is pretty weird, but it actually happened. Christina Louisa Martin, an Alaskan woman, allegedly shoved her friend from a car. While it was moving.
Apparently, Martin and her friend were at the bar and drank quite a bit. When they returned, Martin's dog was missing. She got so upset that she just pushed her friend outside the car while it was moving.
The friend wasn't hurt too much, since the car wasn't going so fast. However, this is still very serious, and like said earlier, pretty weird.

Everything About the UK Driving Test
Sometimes a good writer pops up and gives advice that is way beyond the ordinary "do this and don't do that". Jay Tillotson is one of those writers. His description of the UK licensing process is so good it had to come here.
Learning to Drive - A Step-by-Step Guide to the Theory and Practice
Learning to drive in the UK is a costly exercise. This guide outlines some of the most common expenses a young driver will face as they work up to passing their tests, how to reduce some of these costs, and other hints and tips to gaining a full driving license.
Finding a Driving Instructor
Word of mouth is always a good way to find a suitable instructor; however, if this isn't possible, you can try looking online at various instructor/school websites. Find some in your area and give each one a call, and remember to ask whether they are fully qualified or a trainee. Trainee instructors have to display a pink triangle in their windscreen and on their licence; fully qualified instructors must display a green octagon. A good instructor will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and be able to reassure you if you're nervous about getting behind the wheel for the first time.
The cost of a driving lesson will vary between instructors, but the average price usually falls between £20 and £25 for an hour-long lesson. The DVLA state that the majority of people who have passed their test recently have had between 40 and 45 hours of professional training, which means you could potentially spend £800 - £1125 on lessons alone.
Some instructors offer a bulk booking of 10 lessons for a fixed price; these are usually good value but try to have one or two single lessons with the instructor first. If you don't get on with him/her and have to stick to a pre-agreed number of lessons, it may make your driving experience less than enjoyable.
The car your instructor uses can make a difference to your driving experience too. Most instructors will use a smaller car such as a Corsa or Peugeot, but occasionally a larger car will be offered. If you feel uneasy at the thought of driving a large car, the instructor may have an alternative vehicle.
Taking Lessons
Don't feel that you can only drive with your approved instructor in the car with you. If you have a set of L-plates and a friend or relative over the age of 21 who has held a full licence for 3 or more years, there's nothing to stop you having practice lessons with them. Just make sure their insurance covers them (and you) in case of accidents.
Your instructor will advise you on all aspects of driving, not just the practical side. They will coach you for your theory test if you haven't already taken it, and they can provide, if asked, a list of recommended reading material for revision. They can also advise on the best things to practice if you're planning on having extra lessons with a friend or relative.
Once you've had a few lessons, your instructor will be able to give you an estimate of when you'll be ready for your tests. It's best to take their advice, even though you may be eager to get it over with; driving tests can be costly if you have to take more than one.
The Theory and Hazard Perception Tests
The theory test became a required part of the driving test in 1996, followed by the hazard perception test in 2002. These replace the original format of a Q&A session on road signs and general theory which used to take place at the end of the practical test. The two-part test costs £30 at time of writing.
The theory part of the test is a set of multiple choice questions, 50 in total, and you have to answer a minimum of 43 correctly to pass. It's advisable to read each question thoroughly as the meanings may not immediately be clear.
The hazard perception part consists of short video clips, 14 in total, showing common road scenes. Your task is to spot the developing hazard/s in each clip. The maximum score possible on this section is 75, and the pass mark is 44.
Needless to say, if you fail any part of these tests you will have to pay for a re-test; to avoid the extra cost it's well worth revising as much as you can. You can also take practice theory tests online, which will give you an idea of what to expect.
The Practical Test
For most learners, the scariest part of learning to drive is the practical driving test. Currently the test costs £56.50 for a test during the week, or £67 for an evening or weekend test. It's best to take your instructor's advice about when to go in for your test; they will have a much better idea of your level of competency than you will. You're more likely to pass first time and avoid having to pay for multiple tests if you're 100% ready.
Before the test begins, you will be asked to read a numberplate of a car from a certain distance away. If you need glasses or contact lenses for this you must wear them at all times when driving. You will also be asked two car maintenance questions, such as where to find the type pressure of the vehicle or how to check the oil level. You will not be expected to actually do these; the examiner is simply making sure you know how.
The driving test itself will include two out of three reversing maneuvers: reversing round a corner, reverse parking, or turning in the road. Depending on weather and road conditions you may also be asked to perform an emergency stop maneuver as well. The rest of the test involves driving on public roads, following the examiner's directions. It's important not to panic, even if you think you may have made a mistake. Provided your driving is safe, obeys the rules of the road, and doesn't cause hazards to other drivers you should be fine. As long as you make no major mistakes and fewer than 15 minor ones a pass should be fairly certain.
At the end of the test, your examiner will inform you of a pass or fail. You can request feedback in both instances; perhaps you passed but there were minor faults to work on. If you failed he/she will go through the faults with you, so you know what to work on next time.
Passing your test
Once you have passed your driving test, you will need your own insurance policy to drive alone on the roads. Insurance for young drivers will usually be expensive, but the cost can be reduced by taking the PassPlus set of 6 lessons. There's no test at the end of these so they're much less daunting. Some insurance companies offer up to 30% discount for drivers who have taken these lessons. You may also be able to cut premium costs by naming an experienced driver on your policy. It may even be worth looking into buying a new car off a dealership if you can afford it; many new cars come with a year's free insurance. Aim for a small car with a less powerful engine and your insurance should be lower.
It may be tempting to take all your friends out for a spin and show off your new driving skills once you've passed, but try to avoid this temptation. Not only will it raise the likelihood of an accident, but if you get 6 or more penalty points on your license within two years of passing, it will be revoked and you will effectively be a learner again.
Passing a driving theory test, and driving competently on the roads, takes practice. Try taking a practice theory test online from a site such as FreeMockTheory. Try comparing car insurance for young drivers to give you an idea of the costs to expect once you've passed.

Red Wave
A green wave is every driver's favorite: it's a term used to describe a series of green lights, usually done intentionally on main roads to ensure traffic flow. However, there is also the opposite, and it's really annoying. It's a red wave.
A red wave is every driver's nightmare, and it happened to me not long ago. It was just amazing. Every traffic light I had along the way, and I had quite a few, was red. It was simply annoying. This red wave added quite a few minutes to my trip.
Well, hopefully my next trips will be better than that.

Seeing the End on the Ontario Strike?
Last week I wrote about the driving examiners' strike in Ontario, and it seems like things are beginning to settle down. They are scheduled to resume talks tomorrow, and things look like they are heading towards an agreement.
Since the strike began, about 4,000 people per day were not able to obtain their driver's license. That's a huge number, considering the strike has started on August 23. That's about 64,000 people by now, definitely a huge number.
Hopefully everything will settle down in the next talks, and everything will go back to normal.

Tips for the Practical Tips
Tips are a great source of information in some fields of knowledge, and passing the driving test is one of them. Although there is no replacement for a good driving test guide, some tips, like those shared by Robert Yates, can really help.
Practical Driving Test - Useful Tips
Many people find the practical driving test to be difficult. However, this may be because it has a reputation as a nerve-wracking and intimidating experience. This means they become more stressed and nervous than they need to be. In turn, this can adversely affect their driving. As long as you know what to expect and have prepared properly, you should be able to pass your practical driving test without any major difficulties.
The test begins with a quick eyesight test and a few questions about vehicle safety. You will then have a driving assignment, lasting about 40 minutes. During this exam, you will be expected to complete a few standard manoeuvres and display an overall safe standard of driving. If you commit one or more major or dangerous error during the test you will fail, although you can commit up to 15 minor faults. Often the biggest obstacle people face when sitting the practical driving test is their nerves.
You should remember that your driving instructor would not put you forward for the driving test if they did not believe you were prepared and able to pass. If you relax, keep you eyes on the road and share your instructor's confidence, you will pass with flying colours.
To prepare for your driving test, you should:
• Ensure you are well rested and have had a good breakfast before your test, as this will help improve your concentration.
• Get to the test centre early, so you can take a few minutes to gather your thoughts before you start driving.
• Listen to everything the examiner says, but keep your eyes on the road.
• Ask for clarification if you don't understand any of your examiner's instructions.
As long as you have done your homework, and are relaxed and mentally prepared, you should pass your practical driving test with no problems.
Robert Yates is an expert author and a highly experienced motorist. He has written extensively about driving, giving many tips on passing the practical driving test.

Driving Tired: A Big No-No
This week I made the #1 mistake of driving. I admit it. I risked my life. I risked the lives of others. I should have done things differently. I drove while I was tired.
The way I got myself into this situation is not important (and does not include alcohol), but the result is that what I did is a big no-no. You should never drive tired. It's too dangerous. I felt that my driving skills were not in their best, and I was driving slower than usual to avoid any fast sudden moves.
This drive happened when I was going back home. On the way, I saw a terrible accident. I don't know why it happened, but I am really lucky not to be in this situation.
DON'T EVER DRIVE TIRED!

Easily Pass the Written and Road Test
Passing the written and practical driving tests should not be a problem if you practice. However, you need to find the right sources for practice, and one of them is the internet. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.
You Can Easily Pass Your Written and Road Tests If You Take an Online Driver's Course!
Are you studying for your driver's test? Are you trying to get your learner's permit and driver's license? If so, you'll be glad to know that neither test is hard if you know the rules and get yourself a good amount of practice. The written test especially can be quite simple, just as long as you look over your guide and take some practice tests online beforehand. Believe it or not, some of the practice questions you'll find online are exactly the same as the ones on real driver's license written tests!
The best way to prepare for your road exam, obviously, is to practice as much as possible. Still, even then you may not feel confident enough in your abilities to pass. This is why it's essential that you know exactly what your examiner will be watching for, and what will be expected of you. The only way to learn this information is to take a good online course that contains tips and even secrets that will help you pass.
You can learn all there is to know about a driver's license test and how to pass by looking over step by step instruction guides. They are created in such a way that makes learning easy and interesting. You can supplement your current study materials and guides with an online driver's course. As long as you apply everything you learn with your practicing, you should do fine on the day of your exam.
E-courses are very informative and easy to understand. You'll find your confidence level rising as you learn to be a capable and responsible driver. Once you learn every single last thing you'll ever need to know, you'll feel much less nervous on the day of your test and will be able to pass!
Study an online driver's course to equip yourself with all the knowledge and secrets you'll need for successfully passing your written and road tests. Getting your learner's permit and driver's license doesn't have to be all that difficult, just as long as you study and practice a lot beforehand.

First Time Driving: Rae
Confidence is key when driving. Rae, apparently, doesn't know about it. The video has a large annotataion saying "I am destined to fail in life", and the video title says "Oops. Obviously I can't drive". With someone saying "We're all going to die" in the back seat and the near-crash at the end, I can see where this lack of confidence is coming from.
This video was uploaded on April this year, so Rae has already gone through nearly five months of driving. By now she should be able to tell the difference between right and left and know how to use the brake pedal. If not, there is always my driving test guide.
Good luck (and don't hit anyone)!

The Useless Strike
Ontario driving examiners are striking, as reported by the Northumberland Today (long name). What is this strike doing? Mainly annoying drivers-to-be. Nearly nothing else. Why? Because they are only avoiding driving tests, and not anything else.
License renewals are still being done, which is a big relief for licensed drivers. However, if someone's license expired before the strike started, he is out of luck.
Hopefully this strike will end soon and Ontario's licensing authorities will resume work.
Have a great September!
