Freeway Night Driving

I love to drive fast. I admit it. I know that fast driving has almost no advantages, but I just can't resist it. Luckily, there are many highways and freeways near me, so I have the possibility to drive at relatively high speeds.

The best time to drive there is night. There is almost no traffic, and I don't need to wait for one truck to pass another. I even had times when I drove between interchanges without seeing a single car, with my high lights turned on all the way.

What's your favorite time to drive? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Some Great Tips for Passing

For a long time there haven't been tips here on Friday. To get those back, please welcome 3 great tips in my article.

3 Tips To Passing Your Driving Test

Everyone who goes for the driving test hopes to pass. Well, almost everyone. There might be one or two people who for their own reason do not want to pass their driving test, but I believe that you are definitely not one of them. If you had been one of them, then you would probably be reading an article on how not to pass your driving test. In this article, I am going to give you three tips that will really go a long way in helping you pass your test. You can be sure that if you choose to go with what I shall tell you in this article, then you will not be disappointed. You will be very well pleased with the work that you would have done.

Start Early

The first tip to passing your driving test is to ensure that you start early. If you choose to start your preparations early, you will have an ample time to prepare on every thing that will be there and also to make sure that you do not miss out on anything. This is extremely important because it will go along ay in helping you avoid procrastination. On the other hand, if at all you make the mistake of waiting till the last minute before you start preparing for the driving test, then you can be sure that you will face a lot of problems when you will be preparing.

Plan Your Work

The other thing that you must make sure that you do is to ensure that you plan your work properly. If you do not plan on how you will be handling specific tasks, then you are likely to do your work like a headless chicken. You will be forced to move from one point to the other without taking into consideration the work that will be ahead of you.

Be Calm

On the day that you will be required to take your test, it is important that you stay extremely calm. This is despite the fact that you might be fully aware of the fact that you really know very little when it comes to the content that you should have learnt. If you are calm, you can be better placed than someone who is panicky, but who may know a thing or two that you do not. It will also help you avoid some very silly mistakes which can prove to be extremely costly to you.

If you are really serious in your desire to pass your driving test, then I would advice you to do more than the average student. The driving test guide is a good manual to see you through the whole program.

I hope this article will help you with your test.

First Time Driving: Kendall

Some parents start teaching driving with a car parking on the street. Kendall's father had a different idea: let him back up from the driveway to start. Watch him here.



This video was uploaded two and a half weeks ago, so Kendall still has a long time until he gets his license. If he can keep up this level, he should not have any problem at the test.

Pass, Not for Real

India has very crowded roads, as anyone who ever been there knows. In order to take practical tests you need somewhat clear roads, and it's quite hard to find there. What are they going to do? Virtual driving test.

Yes, very soon you won't need to hit the road in order to get your license in India. All you'll have to do is sit in a simulator that will try to imitate real roads as good as possible and pretend to drive. Isn't that great?

Hopefully this simulator won't generate more accidents, but it will definitely reduce traffic on the roads.

Auto Insurance Rip-Offs

Many people feel that they are being ripped off by their insurance companies. Is that true? Here is an article by Ian E. Wright about this issue.

Are the Biggest Auto Insurance Companies Rip-Offs?

The biggest auto insurance companies such as NAI (Nationwide Auto Insurance), Gieco, Allstate, MetLife and Travelers offer numerous plans in auto insurance. People can choose any of these companies if they are contemplating buying it.

The biggest advantage of buying insurance from these companies is that, they all offer six different types of coverage depending on people's requirements.

These include liability, collision, rental reimbursements, medical auto coverage, and uninsured and comprehensive coverage. Liability coverage is the basic type of coverage offered by biggest insurance companies. Liability provides coverage for bodily injury. For instance, if a vehicle damages the gate of someone's house, then the company provides charges to repair that gate.

The second type of coverage offered by the biggest companies is collision coverage. It provides coverage to an individual's vehicle in case of collision. However, all major insurance companies offer to pay only a part of the claim.

Third is the Medical coverage that bears the entire medical cost irrespective of whether or not it was fault of policyholder.

Comprehensive coverage in auto insurance is fourth one applicable in case of vandalism, theft or destruction of car due to fire or flood.

Fifth that is Uninsured coverage refers to providing coverage, when the party who is at fault has inadequate liability insurance.

The sixth coverage includes rental reimbursement that offers rental compensation for rental costs of repair when the policyholder's car gets damage in an accident.

Details Of The Biggest Companies:

Allstate: Allstate is among the biggest auto insurers in the US. Along with the coverage mentioned above, Allstate has come up with new policies. The policies offer extra features such as bonuses on safe driving, deductible rewards, accident rewards and car replacement. People can obtain free quotes online on Allstate auto plans by simply logging on to internet. The prime features of this company are that, it provides affordable premiums, suiting every individual's needs.

NAI (National Auto Insurance): NAI is reportedly the biggest online auto insurer in the United States. NAI offers all six types of coverage under their policies. A policy from this company is expensive. If an individual already has medical insurance, then they need not go for an extra medical plan.

Traveler's auto insurance policy: Traveler is another major name in the business. It is the first insurance company that introduced auto insurance in United States. Traveler is another major name in the business. It is the first insurance company that introduced it in United States. The insurance plan of this company provides complete protection to policyholder's car.

Other Features:

These biggest auto insurers not only provide broad coverage programs, but also provide people with extra benefits. Some benefits include car repair programs, fast and proficient handling of claim 24/7.

The Dark Side of Merging

The freeway near my house was recently expanded to three lanes to each direction. This is fantastic. Driving in the morning is much more fun and much faster now. However, there is still one problem: when the three lanes become two again.

Merging lanes is the main bottleneck in traffic, and is a cause for many traffic jams. The freeway I'm talking about is great until a specific interchange, and then traffic slows down. Same spot every day.

Hopefully the road will be expanded soon, so I'll be able to drive all the way without the need to come to a full stop.

Avoid Procrastination to Pass

Procrastination hurts us in many ways, but when it comes to driving, it's a real enemy. You need to get out there and practice, not sit in your home and wait for skills to come to you. Here is an article I wrote about this.


Pass Your Driving Test By Overcoming Procrastination

They say that procrastination is the surest killer of time. In this case, I will say that it is not only the surest way to kill your time, but it is also the surest way of killing your chances of getting your driving license. I am sure that there are some people who will disagree with me, simply because they have not yet known how dangerous procrastination can be. But those people, who have experienced loss of great opportunities, will agree with me that it is extremely important to beware of procrastination since it can be an extremely merciless monster. I have outlined three things that you can do to ensure that you overcome the monster of procrastination.

Start Early

This is especially to those people who are still struggling with procrastination. If you know that a particular piece of material will take 2 hours to study, do not wait for the last minute before you start studying for the material. This will really not be helpful in any given way. Instead, it is advisable you start early so that as you still learn to avoid procrastination, you do not let your learning process interfere with your performance on the driving test.

Focus On the Job

Another thing that you should do if at all you would not like to have procrastination as your best friend is to make sure you focus on the task ahead. Indeed, a lot of people have undervalued the importance of focus in achieving goals besides the acquiring of a driving license. If you decide to focus on the task that is ahead of you, you will be able to deal with the problem of procrastination without any hustles at all.

Homework Before Games

Despite the fact that a lot of people have been forced at one time or another by their parents or guardians when they were still children to first finish their assignments before going out to play, many still do not understand the importance of this concept. Always ensure that before you take a rest to watch your favorite TV program, you have completed your goal of the day. This will make it extremely easy for you to complete your tasks within the required time.

The three things that have been mentioned here are extremely important if at all you would like to be very successful with your driving license exams. However, I would like to state that these are not the only things that you should consider. There are many others that you should be able to learn along the way.

If you are really serious in your desire to pass your driving test, then I would advice you to do more than the average student. The driving test guide is a good manual to see you through the whole program.

Hopefully this article helped you,

Insurance for Married Couples

The benefits of being married go beyond love. Sharing auto insurance helps in saving on one of the biggest expenses a family has. Here is an article by Jullie Lee about this topic.

Figuring Out Married Couple Auto Insurance Cover

Joint policies or multi vehicle covers may be fairly practical and economical in several ways than having separate insurances. There may be extra savings to make on your auto insurance cost when you are married. It might make sense to bring individual policies under one cover or arrange joint cover.

Leaving aside who is the owner of the car one applicant can be the leading cover holder in family vehicles. Now that you tied the knot you could save on auto insurance by having the present coverage under the senior or more experienced partner's name. Besides, it may not be sensible to keep two independent policies especially if you are likely to switch vehicles or switch drivers in long distances. If so, you will have to notify your insurer that your spouse could drive the vehicle.

Normally, multi vehicle policies would be cheaper than two independent covers. Unless you are still keeping your spending and money undertakings separate and like to maintain it the same, you will find a way of saving money on joint policies in total.

Depending on where you live and your Insurer, you might want to choose between keeping multi vehicle policy or two independent joint policies. At times, keeping separate coverage for each car may be sensible. Several Insurance providers might still let you keep receiving no claim bonus on one policy although you had an incident under the other one. You would want to check this with the insurance provider.

Frequently, Insurers might demand your partner's details or require that he goes on the policy as well. Then you might sit back and figure out which way will be more efficient for you because you would be charged for your partner anyway. There may be number of ways to arrange this. So allow a little time and figure out the best course of covering your cars.

Without a Blink

One of the most annoying things that can happen during driving on a road with two lanes in your way is two cars going at the same slow speed. I wrote about this once, and I'll write about this many more.

Usually when this happens drivers tend to blink their headlights, but I don't do that. Even if it's legal (and I doubt it), it's very annoying. I hate when people do that to me, so I don't do it to others. I'm not a big karma believer, but I'm not going to blind people just because they're super-annoying.

Luckily, the freeway next to my house was recently expanded to three lanes in each direction, so there should be some improvement in the mornings. But when the three lanes become two, traffic gets stuck.

I guess there is nothing to do against this except sitting in the car while listening to a good radio station and complaining.

Have a great weekend!

Three Unforgivable Mistakes

During your driving test, your examiner is looking for every small mistake you do to write it. In some cases, those mistakes will automatically fail you. Here is an article about three of those mistakes.

Three Mistakes That You Should Never Make In A Driving Test

There are so many mistakes that people taking their driving tests for the first time are bound to make. However, many of these mistakes are forgive bale. Having said that, it is important to note that some mistakes are simply not forgivable. They are definitely bound to cause you to lose your chance of getting your driving license at the time that you should. In this article, I am going to look at the mistakes that are generally unforgivable, so that you can help yourself by avoiding committing such mistakes.

The first mistake that you should never make when you are taking your driving test is coming late for the test. This will definitely put off the person who is evaluating you regardless of the moods that he or she will be in that particular day. It is advisable that you get up really early on the day of the test so that you do not lose out on your chance of getting the driving license. You can ensure that you are up and early by making sure that you have set an alarm so that it can remind you when you should wake up. If it happens that you wake up late, it is advisable that you put off the whole thing until another day.

The second blunder that you should never ever do is to arrive at the place while you are drunk. This is an extremely big mistake that will definitely write you off no matter how good you are in driving. Unfortunately, alcoholism has become a very big problem and there are so many people how cannot "function" during the day unless they have started with some alcohol. If you are this kind of person, then it is important for you to note that it will be extremely difficult for you to get a driving license unless you first get some help on your drinking problem.

The third mistake that you should never make is careless driving. Unlike genuine mistakes that some people make due to the fact that they are simply not used to the road, careless driving is a clear indicator of the fact that you simply are not keen on rod safety. This will definitely put off a lot of supervisors and will definitely cause you to miss out on your driving license. It is therefore important that you show great care when you are taking your driving test so that you are not seen as careless.

If you are really serious in your desire to pass your driving test, then I would advice you to do more than the average student. The driving test guide is a good manual to see you through the whole program.

Hopefully this article will help you on your test.

Get Temporary Car Insurance

Usually, car insurance policies are year or more long, and premiums change according to some criteria like accidents, age, experience, and so on. However, sometimes you need insurance for a few days or weeks, and then you need a temporary one. Here is an article by Oliver Williamson about this.

Temporary Car Insurance

Temporary Car Insurance can be purchased for several reasons. If an individual buys a car and only needs insurance to get it home and find other insurance, they can purchase a temporary car insurance policy. If a group of friends are going on vacation together and will trade off driving responsibilities, temporary car insurance can be purchased to cover all of the drivers for the length of the vacation. If an individual does not have an established relationship with the insurer, temporary car insurance can be very expensive. And, in some states there are no provisions for temporary auto insurance.

If you live in a state that does not allow temporary car insurance, have a vehicle that you only want to insure for an extremely short time and you have an established policy with an insurer for another vehicle, you can add the new car onto your established policy and then cancel the coverage when you don't need it any more. If you do not have insurance with an insurance company, your options become more limited. You will need to purchase a term policy, usually a 6 month minimum then cancel when you no longer need the coverage. This solution for temporary auto insurance can be very expensive since most insurance companies charge a cancellation fee when a person who has not history with the company cancels early.

When traveling by car to another country, such as Mexico, it is important to know that American liability insurance will not cover accidents that you may have in Mexico. You will need to get Mexican Liability Insurance. Most insurance in Mexico is issued as a standard policy and costs around $150 for six months of coverage. You can get temporary auto insurance for driving through Mexico on the internet or at road-side stations when you enter Mexico. It is also important to know that if you rent a car in Mexico you will still need to purchase Mexican Liability Insurance for that car. Your credit card will only pay for the rental and not for the insurance you will need while you are there.

Temporary car insurance is very important if you are traveling with friends, making a new vehicle purchase and don't have your established insurance policy information with you, or if you are traveling to another country. Your temporary car insurance will provide you with the assurance you need to drive worry-free.

The Joy of Night Driving

Driving in the night can be a lot of fun with the proper conditions. Good roads, with almost no traffic lights, make a perfect scenery for night driving.

During the night there aren't many drivers on the road. Most people prefer to sleep at night and not drive. Besides, it's always better to drive during the day due to visibility. However, if you do drive, it's usually the best drives possible.

With no one on the road, you can drive smoothly without interruptions. If you need to pass someone, you just signal and pass. If you need to pull over, there is a lower risk of trouble (however, you must make sure you're visible if you leave the car).

When is your favorite time to drive? Night or day? Which day of the week? Just write in the comments.

The Price of Procrastination

Driving is not something you can learn quickly, and it requires a lot of practice. Delaying this practice or starting too late can have serious results on your result. Here is an article I wrote about this issue.

Pass Your Driving Test By Preparing Early

Like many other things, adequate preparations for a driving test are usually hampered by the fact that people love to procrastinate. The consequence of this is that someone finds himself or herself in a situation whereby he or she starts preparing for the exams seriously a few days to the test. Definitely, this usually comes with disastrous consequences: you will find yourself in a situation whereby you have forgotten plenty of things and you really do not know others. In this article, I would like to give some preparation tips that I hope will be very helpful in assisting you to coming up with a clear way of preparing for your exams.

The first thing that I would like to state is that you should start your preparation early. This should be even earlier than before you start going for the driving lessons classes. This way, you will have set your mind on the fact that you will be preparing for the exams and that you will be sitting for in the near future.

After you have psychologically prepared yourself for the driving tests, you need to set up a schedule of what you are supposed to learn and by when. Of course, if you are new to driving you really do not have any knowledge about the whole thing yet. However, the truth of the matter is that you will be doing yourself a great service if you try to ask those people who have already had their driving licenses on how to do it. This way, you can be sure that you will not have to worry much about the whole thing. You also need to ensure that once you settle on a particular schedule, you do not depart from it unless there are very good reasons for the same. The reason why this is so, is because this will help you to have a lot of discipline when it comes to your driving timetable.

Setting goals is another thing that you must do to ensure that your preparations are fruitful. Once you know what to expect and what you should be learning about, you need to set up your own goals to ensure that you know where you are going. It is easy to measure your progress if you have goals than if you do not have them.

All in all, you will achieve more if at all you prepare well than if you just act like everyone else and procrastinate your way to the driving test.

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.

Insurance Frauds

Insurance is a money paying business, which causes some people to try to fraud it in order to get the money even though they don't deserve it. Here is an article by Michael Enfield about this issue and how to deal with it.

Car Insurance Fraud

When you're on the road, several of your fellow motorists are looking to make a quick buck by scamming your insurance company. While this may seem like a tall task, it can actually be accomplished quite easily. Most instances of car insurance fraud involve a motorist intentionally causing an innocent driver to crash into his or her car so that he or she may make an insurance claim.

Since the objective of insurance scammers is to collect on your insurance policy, they will trick you into colliding with them. Though they caused the accident, it may still be considered your fault since your automobile is the one that initiated contact with the scammer's automobile.

Most of the schemes scammers employ are quite simplistic; many of them involve braking suddenly to cause the motorist behind them to crash into them. Some methods involve waving a driver into a queuing line of traffic, then speeding up and hitting the driver and denying having waved in the police report, making the other driver at fault.

Fraudulent claims can be quite costly not only to your insurance company, but to you. When you get into an accident and you are found to be at fault, your insurance premium may go up. Depending on what the other driver claims, your premium could increase even more. Some of the things insurance scammers tend to claim are:

• Personal injury and medical bills
  
• Car repairs


• Rental cars
  
• Lost wages

In many cases, it can be hard to prove fraud since many insurance scammers have phantom witnesses to testify against you. A phantom witness is a person who works in conjunction with the insurance scammer and was not at the scene of the crash but claims to be and says you were responsible for the crash.

Unfortunately, you can also suffer serious injury in an insurance fraud case. Just because you are the one who crashes into the other car doesn't mean that you are less likely to get injured. You may suffer whiplash, broken bones, or something even more serious. In these cases, when you think fraud may have been involved, getting a personal injury lawyer is in your best interests.

Insurance fraud is a serious crime that can have serious implications. If you or a loved one has suffered injury at the hands of an insurance scammer trying to profit at your misfortune, contact the Milwaukee car accident attorneys of Habush, Habush & Rottier, S.C. to learn more about building your case.
