A Mile Tax

When we want to drive today, we have to use gasoline. One of the hidden costs there is tax. It's pretty low in the US (and over 50% of the gas price in Europe). However, when gas prices started to rise and cars started to become more efficient, the revenue from this tax started to decline.

There is a new idea now - mile tax. Your car will have a device that measures how much you traveled, and charges you accordingly.

What do you think about it? Do you support it?

As much as I oppose taxes, I think that there is no way to avoid a tax hike for transportation. Unless we want the roads to break down, we have to pay for it.

The Truth of Cheap Insurance

When we want to insure ourselves, we look for the cheapest price with the highest coverage. Here is an article by that reveals the truth about it.

The Truth About Cheapest Auto Insurance Companies

Auto insurance is mandatory in most of the states, which means that if you are caught without a proof of financial responsibility you will be facing serious consequences. Majority of the drivers do not understand that this state law was written not to rip off car owners, but to protect them and everyone involved in a car accident. This is exactly why most drivers go for the cheapest car insurance companies as they do not see a proper coverage as something serious and necessary. By doing so, one is making a huge mistake as in case something does happen, a car owner might end up in a financial pit with little chance of crawling out of there.

Always keep in mind that merely driving a car even in a safe neighborhood imposes a potential risk and neglecting an adequate coverage is something you don't want to do. You might be completely positive about your driving skill and expertise and truly have no accidents due to your fault, however if you did get in an accident and it is not your fault, you are still going to turn to your auto insurance. If you chose cheap auto insurance firm, they will try their best to cover themselves up from handling your claims. You can take it to court if you wish and spend another couple of years in process waiting to win over the car insurance company. But to what avail? It is a major inconvenience and a waste of your time in a best case scenario.

Try to steer clear of smaller low-cost auto insurance companies even if they tempt you with an amazingly cheap price. Most of the time local companies are painful to be dealing with, even though they are much more aware of the policies and regulations in that particular state. They normally offer customers state minimum liability and thus falsely claiming to be cheapest auto insurance company available, and you do not want to end up with the state minimum at any point. So try to work with bigger firms that operate statewide. They have a reputation to maintain and will never want to take the case as far as the court with a customer. Truth be told, they might prove to be a little bit more expensive, but with car insurance you get what you pay for.

In case you have several violations, be those serious or mundane, there is a high chance that the license will be suspended or revoked. In this case a car owner will be required to obtain state minimum liability coverage through SR-22 insurance. It proves your financial responsibility without having an actual driving permit. Only in this case you can turn to cheap auto insurance firm, especially if they focus on SR-22 insurance.

Cheapest car insurance does not necessary correspond to dependable auto insurance company, to learn how to pick reliable cheapest auto insurance company proceed to AutoInsuranceMonitor.com

Rainy Week

Rain has returned, my friends. I've said it here plenty of times, and I will say it plenty more. This week I had to drive multiple times in rain, and it just gets harder every time.

Apparently, the roads here aren't so good. They have some patches of really good asphalt, and then a few kilometers of road which just "glues" water. This causes massive water spray from cars driving in front of me.

The rain is here to stay and get even stronger, and I'm not complaining about this. My only problem with rain is rain driving. It can be a challenge, but I prefer to have my challenges in less dangerous situations.

Cheap California Car Insurance

Today is Black Friday, a day known for its great savings and deals. For that, here is an article about getting lower insurance quotes for California.

The Best Way to Find Cheap California Car Insurance

California undoubtedly has the highest car insurance rates in the country. Considering it's the most populated state with some of the busiest highways, the high cost really isn't all that surprising. Millions of Californians are struggling to keep up with the costs associated with driving. It's unfortunate that coverage costs are so expensive during a time in which gas prices are out of the roof.

If you want to get cheap California car insurance, then you need to understand the types of coverages. In this state, drivers are really only required by law to have liability insurance. The minimum for this type of coverage is $15,000 to pay for any injuries sustained by the driver or passengers in the other vehicle. This is if you are the one who is at fault, of course, so if you want the coverage to be as affordable as possible, make an impression to the providers that you are a responsible driver. Even if nobody in the other vehicle is injured, you will still have to pay at least $5,000 to cover the damages. That can be a lot of money, so it's obviously a wise idea to always be a responsible driver.

California insurers also offer other plans, including: Collision, Comprehensive, Personal Injury Protection, and Uninsured / Underinsured Mototorist. If you can afford to do so, get as much additional coverage as you can. It can be difficult to acquire cheap California car insurance, especially if you want a lot of coverage, but there are still companies that give out discounts.

There are numerous companies and thousands of California auto insurance agents offering discounts and quotes online. The best way to find cheap insurance is to shop around and compare yourself. You can receive many quotes at once. Before applying for anything though, make sure you research each company first. Most providers from California have a web presence these days, so you should be able to find everything you're looking for at home on your computer!

Your search can begin right now. You need to be aware of all your options if you want cheap California car insurance. There are various programs, incentives, discounts, and money making opportunities available - you just need to know where and when to look for them!

I hope you found this article useful,

First Time Driving: Calli

Driving a stick shift for the first time isn't easy (from experience), and one of the symptoms of someone who doesn't know what to do there is revving the engine with the clutch pressed down, like Calli. Fortunately, it seems like her mother knows what to do.







This video is from last week, so Calli still has a long way to go until she gets her license. Hopefully by then she'll have full control of the car.

Good luck!

No Breath Test? No Freedom

Once again, it seems that people never learn. For example, a woman was caught with suspected DWI, so the police asked her for a breath test. She refused. As a result, she was charged with her 4th DWI.

She was already arrested with DWI this year in June and November (this is her second time this month!). Apparently, she doesn't really care.

Hopefully this time she will not return behind the wheel.

Different Types of Insurance Coverage

When you purchase car insurance, it's important to understand what it covers. For that reason, I have an article by which explains in well.

Types of Car Insurance Coverage

Car insurance is not something that people enjoy paying for. Like most things in the insurance world, it is available as a precautionary measure. Do you really need it though? Have you ever been in a wreck? Chances are you have. The short answer is yes, you do need car insurance. Now what you wanted to hear I am sure, but it is the truth. In the event of an accident you want to be covered. Accidents can happen at any moment and often times without warning. Therefore it is important to purchase coverage to protect yourself, but how do you know what you need. There are few different types of coverage that is available to everyday drivers. Here I list the different types of coverage so that you will have a better understanding. Only you can decide which is best for you and your vehicle.

The most common form of coverage is auto liability coverage. This type of coverage will pay for the damage is you are responsible for the accident and there has been harm to another individual or property. For this reason this type of coverage can be broken up into two categories: Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability. Depending on where you live, there may be different laws in place that express exactly what you have to cover. Personal Injury will cover any medical expenses that a person will incur from your accident. This can include: rehab, lost earnings, replacement of services, and funeral expenses. It will also provide legal coverage in the event of a lawsuit against you. This however does not cover your medical expenses. Just like Bodily Injury, Property Damage covers you if your vehicle cause harm to other property.

Another type is comprehensive coverage. This type covers your vehicle and any others that you might be driving. This type of coverage protects your vehicle in the event that it is stole, or damaged. Check with your provider to get specifics. Most policies should cover damage by fire or flood. Other areas that may be covered are: wind, hail, vandalism, theft, or being hit by an animal. With comprehensive your insurance covers your cost minus you deductible. Just like medical insurance works, you pay the repair shop a set amount and then the insurance provider covers the rest. Chances are if you are financing a vehicle you have to have comprehensive coverage.

Another form of coverage is collision. This coverage covers exactly how it sounds. If your car hits or is hit by another vehicle then it is covered. Just like with comprehensive coverage, you can usually pick how much you want your deductible to be depending how much you can afford monthly.

With all of the different types only you can decide which type is best for you. Someone that lives in the city may not need coverage for the car being hit by an animal whereas someone who lives around a lot of animals may know that having that covered is a necessity. Check with your insurance carrier and make sure that you have at least the state mandated minimums and then build form there what you want and can afford.

Just Unbelievable

I visited some friends on Sunday and left their house late at night. On my way back home, I approached a traffc light with a green light for my direction. Then I saw someone turn left on the intersection right in front of me.

Traffic lights here are not like in Europe or the US. If you want to turn left, you need the left turn light. This means someone arrived at the light, saw that no one is there, and ran the red light.

It took me several seconds to understand what just happened. Fortunately, I was very far away from the light, so it didn't affect me. The only problem was that my light turned red (the intersection has sensors).

Please, promise me: don't be idiots. Red means stop 24 hours a day, every day. Even if the intersection is empty and no car is approaching for miles away, red means stop. Don't surprise anyone.

Seven Stpes for Passing

It's another beautiful Friday, which is the perfect time for some driving test tips. Here they are.

Hoping to Pass Your Driver’s Test? Here Are 7 Steps to Help You Prepare

Having your driver's license will give you plenty of freedom. You can go just about anywhere you want, just as long as you have enough gas money. You can go out on the road and explore!

In order to have that luxury, though, you must pass a driving test. There is a written test AND a road examination you need to pass. The written test is easier since it's multiple choice (in most places). There are practice questions online to help you prepare.

The road exam, however, isn't so easy. It's more than just driving around for a few minutes. It's about proving that you are a good, learned driver. You must prove - and show - that you understand the rules of the road.

Here are the steps you need to take in order to prepare for your driving test.

1. Practice as much as you can on a relatively empty road. Try to find an old country road somewhere and practice driving on it every day. You'll need a good, responsible driver with you to help you.

2. Once you get the hang of driving on a small road, venture out onto a highway. Ideally, you should practice when traffic is slow. You don't want your first time driving on a highway to be during rush hour.

3. Read everything you can find on driving on the internet. There are ebooks, practice tests, tips, guides, etc. Watch videos on how to drive safely.

4. Find out where the test routes are going to be. You might be able to find some maps online. There are around 10 or so routes per test center. Practice driving all around the test area. Get to know the streets and the routes like the back of your hand.

5. Determine your weaknesses and work on improving them. If you have trouble with parallel parking, go to an empty parking lot and put down large boxes. Practice parking in between them. If you suffer from anxiety when driving on busy roads, learn how to stay calm. You can find relaxation techniques for new drivers online.

6. Don't forget the small, but important things like occasionally checking the rearview mirror and using your indicator when needed. While you're at it, don't forget to come to a full stop at red lights and stop signs.

7. The night before the test, try to get as much sleep as possible. Eat a big breakfast in the morning. Do whatever you can to keep yourself calm: yoga, breathing exercise, meditation, etc. Try to be confident in yourself. As long as you practiced every chance you got, you shouldn't feel too nervous.

Good luck!

You can learn just about everything there is to know online. Just read the secrets and details that aren't found in your basic study guide. There are online driving courses to help you learn how to drive safely as well.

Getting your driver's license is not that hard. If you would like to pass your driving test without trying so hard, you should get yourself this amazing driving test guide.

Hopefully this article helped you,

Starting next year, Dubai's Road Transport Authority (RTA) will stop accepting eye tests on paper, and will accept them only in digital form.

Also, driving examiners will soon be given a digital pen to write their assessments of drivers-to-be. Those assessments will be automatically uploaded to the RTA's computers.

It's good to see that some countries finally move to the digital age instead of being stuck in the past.

Auto Insurance Kinds

Auto insurance policies come in many varieties. Cheap ones, expensive ones, ones that cover more, and ones that cover only the basics required by law. who already has an article here returns with another one to describe the different types.

Explaining The Different Kinds Of Auto Insurance

An agreement between an indemnity company and an insured regarding covering the automobile of the insured is called auto insurance. The role of the owner of the auto mobile is to pay premiums periodically. The indemnity company in turn promises to support the owner in case the vehicle gets an accident. After the expiry of the policy, another one is signed. Different insurance companies have different cover schemes. In French, assurance auto means auto insurance.

The policy covers against injuries that one may get, damage caused, support for the medical bills, motorist coverage and even collision coverage. When you have bodily harm, you get the legal costs covered. This is if someone else has filed a case against you. Property coverage is when you are sued by another person for causing damage to their property by the accident you had.

Medical expenses are catered for even if you are injured and the accident happened in a car that was not yours. There is also another coverage that is called uninsured or under insured. In this type of cover, you are protected against vehicles that were not insured or were under insured.

Those who opt for the comprehensive cover are covered against any damage, theft or even natural calamities that may affect the vehicle. The amount paid by a indemnity company is for these repairs or complete replacement of the vehicle. You can get a new vehicle if the one you had is regarded to as salvage. Collision coverage is for vehicles that collide with the others. Not necessarily other vehicles but could also be persons or even objects.

If your vehicle has theft devices that allow you to track your car in case it is stolen, then you can get discounts on the premiums. You can also get discounts if you have more than one insurance policy with that same company.

There are different types of auto cover policies. Liability cover is one of them. This is the minimum and it requires that if you are in an accident and it is concluded that you are at fault, then you have no choice other than the indemnity company to pay for the damages and any injuries resulting from the accident. If you can afford to pay for a higher type of cover then it is better as you will be comfortably covered. In this cover you will end up paying for your own vehicle repairs.

The second type of cover is collision cover. This ensures that the company you have insured at repairs your vehicle. If it ends being declared salvage, then it will be paid its value. The value paid is usually that one that it was worth just before the accident occurred. This insurance is much better for the cars that are expensive. If you have an old car, you will end up paying more amount of money in premiums.

The third category is comprehensive. While the collision and the liability cover the accidents, comprehensive usually cover almost everything. It covers animal collision, weather and theft damages. This is the most comprehensive insurance cover.

Safe Habits

Today's date is once-in-100-years occurance, and to celebrate that I will give you an article I wrote with ten safe driving habits.

Driving Test Tips: 10 Safe Habits That Every Good Driver Must Follow

In order to pass your driver's test you need to develop good driving habits. It's easier to develop bad habits than good habits. This is why learning how to drive isn't easy. Just because you know how to steer a car doesn't mean you will be able to pass your test. You must know and follow the rules of the road.

Did you know that only half of the people who take their driving test past the first time? The other half of the examinees have to take their test a second, third, or even fourth time before they finally pass!

It's a good idea to stay as calm as possible during the test. Getting nervous is fine - everybody does. What's important is how you deal with the nervousness. You can't let it get the best of you. You must breathe deeply and relax before you begin your test.

If you develop good driving habits right now, you'll feel less nervous when you take the exam.

Here are some good habits that drivers must possess.

1. Get your vehicle ready before driving. Your seatbelt needs to be on. Make sure your passenger(s) have their seatbelt(s) on.

2. Make gradual starts and stops. Never brake hard unless it's an emergency and you have no choice.

3. Before putting your foot on the pedal, make sure that the path is clear up ahead.

4. Pay attention to your line of sight. When it becomes restricted, reduce the speed.

5. Know when to start reducing speed so that you can stop in time for a red light or stop sign.

6. Before entering an intersection, check that your right, front, and left zones are clear.

7. Always check for blind spots before moving the car to either side.

8. You should always be four seconds behind the vehicle in front of you. Take note to where they are and start counting "2,001, 2,002, 2,003, 2,004". By the time you get to the last number, you should be at that spot.

9. Anticipate dangerous mistakes by other drivers ahead of time. Be prepared to respond to their mistakes at any time. Quick reactions won't always protect you.

10. Keep extra distance from other drivers if they seem aggressive or drunk.

These are some of the many good habits that safe drivers develop. Have a responsible adult go with you as you practice driving. That person should have a clean driving record. They should help you realize your mistakes so that you don't make them again in the future.

Passing the test is just the beginning. You still need to keep good, safe driving habits to avoid accidents in the future.

You'll be amazed at the great driving resources you can find online. If you're a beginner driver, you'll find all of the tips, techniques, and information you'll need for passing both the written test and road exam! The basic handbook you are given by the DMV doesn't really provide all of the information you need. The resources and tools found on the internet are really helpful.

Getting your driver's license is not that hard. If you would like to pass your driving test without trying so hard, you should get yourself this amazing driving test guide.

I hope this article will help you,

Being a driving examiner is not easy, but it's not very hard. However, for one examiner, the test turned into a real nightmare.

It all began when Emma French's water broke on the day of her test. She had two choices: postpone the test and wait until the baby grows or take the test and hope for the best. She went for the second choice.

She passed the test and drove herself to the hospital to give birth to her daughter. Definitely a very happy day for her.

Cheapest Cars to Insure

Insurance prices vary widely. One of the major factors in the price is the car itself. Here is an article by about the cheapest cars to insure.

Top 10 Cheapest Cars To Insure In California For 2011

When an individual is looking for a car to buy in California, it can be tempting to only decide based only on how much the car costs. There are other costs associated with owning a car too, the chief one of which is car insurance. Since high car insurance rates can derail any savings realized by lower monthly car payments, it is important to consider any car's typical costs of insurance before buying it. Some cars prove to be among the cheapest to insure in California. This is based on a variety of factors.

A person's driving record is only the beginning point in deciding how much a particular car's insurance will turn out to be. Every company's rates and the ways that they determine them will vary. Still, a factor that will definitely turn out to be important in the rate game is what kind of car one is driving.

A good thing to consider in looking for the cheapest cars to insure in California is how does the particular vehicle do in the categories of safety features that are included, crash test results, and rates of theft. Cars that come with extra safety features and anti theft devices, that do well in their respective crash test results, and that are not stolen so often will usually be less expensive for an individual to get insured. It makes sense that cars that thieves like, that stand out, and that perform poorly in crash tests will cost significantly more to have insured.

The safest way to determine how much a car will cost the person to insure is to get auto insurance sample rate quotes from well regarded Internet sites. There are a number of these out there such as Kanetix that will provide accurate estimates on the amount in premiums that an individual will likely have to give. Using only the year, make, and model of the vehicle will be sufficient to obtain good working estimates of rates. With an exact car's Vehicle Identification Number, the results will be more exact.

There are three questions that a person can ask to figure out what the rates will be like otherwise. Is the car a sports car that provides incredible performance and great engine power? This will scare insurers into higher rates since they know that drivers will be tempted to take it for joyrides and that any necessary repairs will be expense. Next, how large is the vehicle? While the bigger size of an SUV may give it greater safety ratings, it will also require higher liability coverage since such vehicles create a greater amount of damage in accidents than do smaller cars. Finally, is the car family friendly? Insurers believe that family sedans, minivans, and other family vehicles are less likely to be driven recklessly since they are carrying precious children and family members. These prove to be the least expensive cars to insure and drive because of this.

With that in mind, here are the ten cheapest cars to insure in California:

10. Oldsmobile Bravada
9. Jeep Wrangler
8. Saturn Vue
7. Chevrolet Astro
6. Chevrolet Venture
5. Saturn L Series Wagon
4. Chrysler PT Cruiser
3. Saturn L Series Sedan
2. Pontiac Montana
1. Oldsmobile Silhouette

Getting California Car Insurance can be a difficult process. That is why if you want to speed things up, you should get a variety of quotes from the top leading websites. If you want to save both your time and money, you should consider using Kanetix to find California auto insurance.

The way is still the same, and traffic is still bad. The only perks were meeting some old friends and this time they let me enter with the car. Before that I could only park in the outside parking and walk from there.

I will probably return there every now and then. Hopefully not too much.

Seven Common Mistakes

It's Friday again, and it's time to show you some more driving test mistakes to avoid, unless you enjoy retesting over and over.

7 Common Mistakes Made by Student Drivers During a Driver’s Exam

Have you been studying for your driver's exam? Getting a driver's license requires a lot of practice and discipline. You need to know the rules of the road, the ins and outs of a car, AND how to actually drive it. You have to be on the lookout for other drivers on the road. Just making a small mistake can lead to an accident.

When it comes to driving tests, there are dozens of things your examiner will check for. If you make so many mistakes, you won't pass. There are so many different mistakes that you can make.

Here is a list of some of the most common:

1. Don't forget to change lanes when it's time to! Many students are nervous and stay in the same lane all the time. If the car in front of you is going slower than the speed limit, it's okay to pass them up (unless you're in a no-passing area).

2. Don't become TOO cautious. Over caution can be just as bad as neglect. It shows that you are uncomfortable and unconfident. If you're relaxed and calm, you'll do a better job.

3. When you approach an intersection, make sure you're going the appropriate speed. How fast are the other cars going? Maintain the same speed as the other drivers if you need to merge. If you need to come to a stop, make sure you do so BEFORE reaching the intersection. Chances are, your examiner won't take you to a freeway. But if you do go, make sure you merge properly.

4. If there's ice on the road when you take your test, know how to cross it safely. If your vehicle starts to slide, gently brake and go in the direction of the skid. Don't jerk the wheel into the opposite direction or brake all of a sudden.

5. While you should always observe other vehicles, don't let the other people's driving habits distract you. Watch them carefully, but not so much that you lose focus on your own driving. Don't develop "road rage", as you will lose focus on what YOU are doing.

6. Make sure you keep both hands on the wheel! Don't let them slip. Don't grip too tightly. Some of the biggest mistakes student drivers make involve the wheel.

7. Never, ever brake too hard! Learn the differences between hard and soft brakes. Hard braking is okay during emergencies, but most of the time, you will only be doing soft braking. You don't want to throw your passenger all around.

If you avoid these mistakes, you should do a good job on your driving test. Good luck!

Check out some tools, guides, practice tests, and videos to help you pass your driving test. You can learn EVERY SINGLE THING that the examiner will be watching for! Knowing in advance what you'll be tested on will give you more confidence on exam day. Getting your driver's license will be a piece of cake!

Getting your driver's license is not that hard. If you would like to pass your driving test without trying so hard, you should get yourself this amazing driving test guide.

Hopefully this guide will help you during your test.

This video was uploaded at the end of October, so Christin still has a long way to go until she gets her license. Hopefully she'll be able to drive more calmly next time.

Good luck!

Crash the Way to the Test

November is finally here, and I want to start it with a funny story. A girl on her way to the driving test confused the gas and brake pedals when she tried to park in the DMV's parking lot. As a result, she entered the building with her car instead of on foot.

According to the police, she created an eighteen square feet hole in the wall, but no one was hurt from this accident.

One of the commenters on the article responded that since it was in South Dakota, she probably passed anyway.
