Smart Car, Stupid Owner

Another month has gone by, and once again it's time to see some people who just can't handle all this parallel parking. This time we have a Smart car, which is much smaller than others. Enjoy



Hopefully people will learn to park by 2011. Or not.

Insurance for Young Drivers

Car insurance can be a real pain for teenagers. It costs the most for people who don't have it, and their parents have to pay for it. Here is an article by Chimezirim Chinecherem Odimba (what a long name, wow) about lowering this price for young drivers.

Really Cheap Auto Insurance - How A Young Driver Can Get It

Age is a factor that could cost you dearly in car insurance but you can also get really cheap auto insurance rates because of it if you know what you're doing. For those who fall into the under-25 age bracket, there are ways to still let this work for you and not against you. You can also focus on just lowering your risk factor if the other options don't really appeal to you...

1. Getting married will help you get really cheap auto insurance rates with a good number of insurance companies if you are under 25. This is not a practical joke. It works.

Being under 25, male and single will attract a far higher premium than otherwise. It is a known fact that those three factors easily suggest a tendency to recklessness (statistically!).

Still along these lines, few things have as much sobering effect on young people as marriage. Your driving is affected positively by the mere thought of having people who depend solely on you and whom you can't afford to let down. Your car insurance rates are, therefore, lowered considerably in spite of your age (once you are married) for this reason.

2. As an under 25, you can enjoy really cheap auto insurance premiums if you use your parents' policy. Your parents certainly belong to a lower risk age group.

You have to bear in mind, though, that the car must be registered in their name and you must be living with them if you want to take advantage of this option. If you want to own your car, then be the big boy or girl and also own the higher premiums. Sorry, you can't have both with this option. However, you can still make huge savings by following the link at the end of this piece.

3. It is certainly not possible, in just one short article, to exhaust the many ways you can get really cheap auto insurance. However, researching all the ways possible for you to make huge savings in your car insurance is certainly worth it.

Notwithstanding how much you research, getting as many quotes as possible and comparing them for the best rate still remains the quickest way of getting really cheap auto insurance. Do note that the savings possible could be up to $1000 or even much more.

The task of searching and picking reputable sites for these quotes could be tasking and time intensive for. For your convenience, I've researched the best sites and listed them here. Just click them and you'll soon be enjoying really cheap auto insurance.

Here are my favorite pages for auto insurance quotes...

The Disadvantages of Two Lane Freeways

Freeways are great roads. They are definitely my favorite roads, and I go on them whenever I can. However, if they have only two lanes, they can easily turn into a huge nightmare.

The reason for that is trucks. The freeway near me has a speed limit of 110 km/h (about 70 mph). When a truck that goes 85 km/h (53 mph) wants to pass a truck that goes at 80 km/h (50 mph), everyone has to slow down. This is a real annoyance.

The solution to that is expanding the road to three lanes. It is wider in some segments, and traffic is really flowing in there. However, when the lanes go back to two, there are really big traffic jams in there.

Hopefully the entire road will be expanded soon, so driving there will be a pleasure once again.

The Importance of Rest

It's Black Friday today, and I'm sure you've been rushing to every possible store to do your holiday shopping. Now it's the time to relax and read about the importance of rest in the driving test.

The Place Of Rest In Passing Your Driving Test

If you ask someone to tell you what is the secret to passing your road test, that person is most likely going to tell you that you need to be prepared. Well, that is extremely true. However, one thing that people avoid talking about when it comes to discussing about passing the driving test is the issue of rest. In this article, I would like to look at this very important issue, which when applied as it should be, will definitely go a long way in increasing the pass rates amongst people who are sitting for their driving tests.

It Helps In Panic Reduction

One of the reasons why people fail their driver's license tests is because of the fact that they do panic during the driving tests. The reason why people do panic is because they fail to prepare well, they have been intimidated by those who have sat for the test before, or they simply have not taken enough rest. The ultimate consequence of panicking is that you are likely to find it very hard to make the right decisions as your mind will not in apposition that it should be.

Avoids Irritability

Another reason why rest is an extremely important ingredient in any plan that is aimed at making one pass one's driving test is because the rest reduces the irritability in an individual. It is important to realize that people who have not rested are usually snappy and irritable. The consequence of this is that they find themselves in a situation whereby they are easily irritated by small things simply because they are tired. When the examiner sees that you cannot control yourself especially when you are behind the wheels, then you are likely not going to be able to get you driving license anytime soon.

It Brings To Remembrance A Lot Of Information

Lastly, if you take a lot of rest, then you are likely to remember a lot of things. This is something that is important whether you are sitting the theoretical or the practical tests. On the other hand, if you do not take a lot of rest, then you are likely to go into the exam room and then realize that you have forgotten a couple of things.

Definitely, rest is not the only thing that you should have if you are to pass your exams. However, it is an important ingredient if at all you are to achieve what you are supposed to get in the long run.

Driving test success is something that so many people yearn for. However, what most of them fail to realize that if one is filled with fear during the driving test, one cannot achieve much. If you want to pass your driving test, you must be able to master your fear. You can read more from this driving test guide for more information.

This is post number 993 in this blog, which means that next Friday will be post 1,000. Trust me, you'll really want to read it.

Happy Black Friday!

Hit and Run Again

Some people never learn. A man who was convicted in a fatal hit-and-run accident (he threw a woman off a bridge) was caught and arrested again. This time for driving without a license. This arrest follows another investigation of another hit and run accident.

There aren't many details except the date, which was November 17, and the car, which was a cube van. The police are keeping the information to themselves.

Hopefully this criminal driver will go to jail for a long time. Driving without a license after hitting someone is nothing less than a murder.

Compare Auto Insurance

It's another Monday of auto insurance. Once again, Sarah Anne Miller is giving us great tips about insurance. This time it's about comparing between the different companies.

How to Compare Auto Insurance - The 3 Critical Tips to Know

Understanding how to compare auto insurance is never easy, especially if you are not familiar with the things that make for a good insurance company. This article will put you miles ahead of the field, by revealing the 3 things across which all comparisons must be made for maximum results. You'll never get another bad insurance quote again after reading this so let me get right into it.

1. Try to Use an Independent Company
To avoid being locked into a narrow comparison chart you'll need to ensure that the company you use to compare rates or quotes is an independent one. Independent companies are able to give you multiple quotes across several providers and this will allow you to work out the best deal for you in terms of cost and benefits.

You'll also get the benefit of being able to compare a wider pool of providers as opposed to the handful you may encounter if you use a small time company for the comparison.

2. Have a Clear Idea of Your Goals
When comparing insurance companies you must have a clear idea of what your goals are. More than likely you'll be looking to make the biggest savings but bear in mind that the cheapest coverage may not give you the best protection. You need to strike a balance between the two. Luckily, when you make a comparison, you'll also see in a nutshell what the benefits of each provider are to you.

3. Use an Online Company for Your Comparison
This is a big one, and one that is often overlooked by most people. The benefits of using an online company is that quotes or rates are delivered much quicker and the information required of you is minimal compared to using an offline company. There no requirements to fill in any forms except the ones you'll see online and often to get started all you need to have to hand is your zip code.

Using an online company also allows for a much faster due diligence process. This is easy because if a provider has performed poorly to it's customers, you can make an instant search and locate this information online.

Understanding the three things above is all there is to grasping how to compare auto insurance. Often people get it wrong by not having these things clearly laid out in their minds. You are now in a better position to get a money-saving quote.

Look for Auto Parts

Auto parts are not hard to find, but knowing how to reduce their price is an art. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.

Advance Auto Parts Discount Code - Two Obstacles To Avoid

The reason why you are here, I believe, is because you see the Advance Auto Parts discount code as a great resource that no one should ignore. The reason why I am saying this is because lots of people see the codes as some of form of gold. Indeed, it is some form of gold because it enables people like you and me to save on the amount of money that we would need to spend in order to posses some high quality auto parts. However, like I would tell any person out there who is looking for gold, "not everything that glitters is gold." So, what next?

Here are three things that you must keep of from:

Spammy Websites

The first thing that you need to really run away from is spammy websites. These websites are those that from the look of it has got plenty of pop ups and plenty of advertisements that seem irrelevant to the topic in question which is Advance Auto Parts discount code. Here, you will have advertisement of things such as wallpaper, cursors, ringtones and so on. Such advertisements are usually an indication of the fact that the site is not properly maintained. The consequence of this is that as you would be checking over the page, a harmful program might be crawling inside your computer.

Websites With Outdated Information

Another thing that you will need to look at keenly is the issue of the websites which have got outdated information. Although you may not be able to check it early, you will just see that the website has got information that is not current by looking at some of the "latest offers" that it has. If you realize that the so called offers are outdated even for a single day, then know that is the kind of website that is likely to let you down completely. You will find yourself using the information from the website only for you to, find out that the code that is in question is already expired and that you have wasted your time looking for something that really is of no value at all.

Generally, one thing that you must constantly keep in mind that you can never be too careful when it comes to these things. The best thing that you should do is to ensure that you have the best information possible and make sure that use it to your advantage so that the Advance Auto Parts discount code will be of use to you.

If you would like to buy great auto spare parts without spending your life savings on them, then you need to check out for the best Advance Auto Parts discount code.

The Benefits to Look for on Insurance

When looking for car insurance, there are some factors you need to consider. Here is an article by Sarah Anne Miller that explains exactly what you need to look for.

Best Auto Insurance Carriers - The Top 4 Benefits To Look For

The best auto insurance carriers will high on benefits and very low on disappointments. This article will help you to identify those benefits you should be aiming for. You see it's not just about getting insured, there's a real litmus test that has to be applied. After reading this article you'll be able to apply this test and make the best of any insurance policy you choose - from a top notch provider of course.

Benefit #1 - High Payout Frequency
Many times people get insured and everything is fine until they have to make a claim. This is the single biggest benefit that you should focus on when choosing a carrier since no payout means an absolute defeat of being insured in the first place.

Benefit #2 - Low Deductible Requirement
One of the inherent costs associated with insurance is the deductible. This amount represents the money that you'll have to fund towards any accident. This amount varies from carrier to carrier, but you should always aim to go with one that has a low initial deductible requirement. You can always increase the amount to save on the quote, but in the initial phase, you should always chose a low amount.

Benefit #3 - Courtesy Car/Roadside Assistance
The cost of insurance is very high these days and so if you are going to pay a lot, you should get a lot. Benefits like a courtesy car (should yours have to go into the shop) are important in giving you a bit of continuity and convenience. You should also choose carriers that have roadside assistance built in as a standard part of their policies.

Benefit #4 - Low Upfront Costs
Like I said in benefit number 3, insurance is costly these days. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't try to save money. Choose carriers that allow for a reduction in initial quotes. This can be achieved by mentioning the addition of things lie alarms and immobilizers.

A good carrier will also allow you to save on costs by taking defensive driving courses and by also getting rid of any expensive modifications that may have been on your car for a previous policy.
There you have it, four of the key benefits that any top notch carrier will bring to any policy you choose. Remember, the best auto insurance carriers should always live up to this accolade. You now have a sound criteria for testing their claim to greatness.

Driving a New Car

One of the most important things when driving is the connection with the car. When you start driving a new car, you need to adapt.

Last week I drove a Toyota Corolla with a robotic gear for the first time in my life. The robotic gear was quite annoying (felt like a manual driven by a first time driver), but everything else was quite great. The wheel was very smooth. There was no resistance at all.

Getting used to the brakes was also a process. Every car has different brakes, and it takes a while to get used to them, a little like trying to brake with your left foot (don't try it on major roads, trust me). You need to get the feeling of it.

For now, I have to go back to the previous car I was driving. However, hopefully I'll buy a new car next year, so I'll have a new car to get used to.

Getting Insurance for 17-Year-Olds

Car insurance for new drivers is quite expensive, especially for 17 year olds. However, the rates can be reduced if you look for at the right places. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.

17 Year Old Car Insurance - Are You a Parent Having Trouble Keeping Up With Payments?

It can be quite challenging for a 17 year old to find car insurance. Affordable plans are hard to come by-especially for younger drivers. Still, there are ways in which you can find inexpensive policies for your teen. There are also some things your son or daughter can do themselves to decrease the costs.

To begin with, they can drive a sensible vehicle. These days, fast, sports cars are considered to be high risk. Young drivers are better off waiting until their mid-twenties before driving fast cars. For now, make sure your teen is driving a not-so-risky vehicle in order to save a lot of money.

Sometimes, companies will give 17 year olds car insurance at discount prices if they make good grades. If your teen maintains good grades, check to see if this is an option in your area. If so, you could encourage your 17 year old to work hard at school by rewarding him or her with a car.

Try keeping your deductibles high. One way you can do this is by not turning any minor incidents in. Only inform the insurance companies whenever your vehicle is involved in a bad accident. If you keep the deductibles high enough, you can save a lot of money over the next few years.

Do some shopping around. There are comparison charts on the internet. You can also get free quotes online. Some sites even offer multiple quotes at once! See what you can find if you want your 17 year old to have car insurance.

Don't be letdown if you're having trouble keeping up with insurance payments for both you and your 17 year old. Car insurance for 17 year old teens can be affordable, and there are plenty of discounts that your teen may be eligible for.

Hopefully this article helped you.

Bad News for Young Drivers-to-Be

Starting January 2012, the DSA (Britain's DMV) will no longer publish written driving test questions. The practice questions that will be available will not be questions in the test.

This move is done to make people actually learn the rules and not only memorize the answers. DSA officials hope that this way the roads will be safer.

I think that it won't help a single bit. Driving is a practical skill, not theoretical like math. Making roads safer doesn't start at the DSA's written test, it starts at home. If someone's parents are crazy drivers, he or she won't become an example of slowness.

Hopefully the DSA will find better ways to improve road safety in Britain.

Steps for Passing the DMV Permit Test

The DMV permit test is the biggest step between you and actually driving. Passing it is not difficult, but you still need to prepare. Here is an article by Frank S Sham that will help you understand how to prepare well.

What Do You Need To Do To Pass Your DMV Test The First Try?

Have you ever tried to take a drivers permit test? Did you fail? Unfortunately you're not the only one, actually about 70% fail the first time they take the permit test and they need to try once again. It can be quite frustrating to take it one more time since you'll probably have to wait in a line for quite some time, maybe several hours, and you will have to pay the fee again. It's obviously better to pass the drivers permit test the first time you try and it's actually not that difficult to succeed, you just need to know how to do it.

So what can you do to avoid having to go back and do the permit test all over again? Well, what you can and should do is to use a great package that gives you the opportunity to do a permit practice test. By doing that you'll be able to learn more about the procedure and it will feel like you've already got the answer to every question when it's time for you to do the real drivers permit test. This is a perfect method to use if you want to pass the DMV test on your first try.

So how can you get one of those packages that will help you make it all the way? It's actually not that difficult, not if you've got access to the Internet. You can order a DMV practice test from a web shop and the price is usually quite low. It's also worth the money you pay since you will avoid plenty of extra fees by passing the DMV test the first time you write it.

It's always good to be prepared and the best thing you can do in order to succeed is to order a learners test or several of those in order to prepare yourself for the upcoming DMV test. The questions in the permit practice test comes directly from the official study manual for the real tests and they are frequently updated, actually several times every week. You will be able to succeed with your upcoming test if you take this chance to get prepared. The wisest thing to do in a case like this is to practice and practice even more. You can be one of the 30% that passes the exam at their first try, and that would certainly be a relief, don't you think?

Permit Test experts has been helping people to pass their DMV test the first try. So far, over 42,000 people have been successful with our practice permit questions. For more info, go to http://www.driving-permit-test.com/

What You Need to Pass

Passing the driving test is not an easy mission, but it can be. Using the proper techniques and applying the right tips will get you a lovely license in no time. Here is an article I wrote about it.

Everything About Driving Tests

A normal driving test is made up of two parts: a theory part and the practical test. You must first pass the theoretical test to get on to the practical one. Although it sounds easy, it is not! Many people fail it and kill their chance of getting their driver license. However, if you do your homework, this test is not difficult at all. The standard theoretical test consists of two parts. First, you need to select the right answer to questions from a number of choices. The second part is the hazard perception test. You will be shown a series of video clips and you must click a button as fast as you can when you see a hazard. That's it! The hard part is the practical test. Here is what you need to know about it.

The practical test is made to test your ability to control the vehicle and avoid risks. For example, most driving inspectors look to see if you can make proper turns, respect the warning signs found on the road, make proper use of your lights, park in a civilized manner, and drive backwards. Now, these things do not sound very hard to do, but think about how anxious you are and how easily you can make a mistake. The test usually lasts for 40 minutes. Also, if you have any disabilities, you will need to show the inspector that you can use any special controls in your vehicle.

A thing most people forget about is the vehicle safety. Each candidate must respond to two vehicle safety questions to show the inspector they can spot problems. These questions are usually related to brakes, lights, tyres, direction, horns, reflectors, and fluids. If you fail the practical test, don't worry. You have two years to pass it before you need to take the theoretical test again. However, we are sure you will pass it from the first try! Also, please keep in mind that you need to pay a fee for each test, so passing it on your first attempt will save you good money.

The best thing to do when preparing for your test is to get a good driving test guide. It contains very useful information about what you should and should not do when the inspector is right beside you. Also, it contains insight on what inspectors like to see and what they would penalize you for. Professional driving guides are easy to find and always prove themselves to be valuable assets for the candidate.

In order for you to succeed and take your driving test from the first try, you should consider getting a good driving test guide. It contains very useful information about what you should and should not do when the inspector is right beside you, and many more!

Hope you found this article useful,

New Jersey Goes Electronic

Electronic traffic tickets are becoming a new standard in many New Jersey towns. This system makes ticketing very easy and much quicker than the manual tickets that officers have been issuing until now.

When issuing a ticket, all the officer has to do is swipe a driver's license, choose an offense from a menu, and issue the ticket. For parking violations, a car number is enough. This system reduces mistakes and dismissed tickets.

Hopefully the number of New Jersey road criminals will go down. Wether it works or not, they made a smart investment.

To book the practical driving by post you will need to fill out a DL26 form. You can get a form at a theory or practical test centre, from your instructor or by downloading the forms from the DSA by going to this link:

https://pt.dsa.gov.uk/tests/tests_E/pt/forms.asp?test=pt

Send the form to DSA.

Another handy resource brought to you by http://www.lowpricelessons.com where you can find and compare driving instructors near you, leave reviews and book online.
