Make Out With a Brake

February ends today, and as usual there is a funny video to celebrate that. Since Valentine's Day was two weeks ago, here is a video about love that got a little ruined by not setting the parking brake.

Left Lane Forever

Once again, I had to deal with the issue of left lane hogs. This thing just drives me insane. Some people should just be banned from driving on the left lane.

If a road's speed is 110 km/h and it's possible to go that fast, all traffic should be going at least that speed. I really can't understand why someone would drive slower with a private car.

I hope this will not happen to me next week, although it's hard to predict. It's always good to hope.

Some More Driving Test Secrets

For a long time we didn't have an article filled with test secrets, but now we do. Here is an article of mine filled with fantastic secrets for the driving test.

The Secrets To Passing Your Driving Test Quickly

Few things stress people as the thought of failing a driving test. Indeed, despite the fact that a lot of people with really no exceptional intelligence have managed to get the licenses, a lot of a very intelligent people usually get panic attacks when they think of the processes of sitting for the test. This is mainly because of the fact that many people really scare others with the story that they com with after taking both the theoretical and the practical tests. Three very important "secrets" will help you pass your driving test:

Thorough Preparation

Whether you are talking about the theoretical exams or you are talking about the practical exams, it is extremely important to ensure that you prepare thoroughly for the tests that will be ahead of you. The reason why this is important is that thorough preparation will ensure that you have full confidence when you go to the testing room. On the other hand, if you do not prepare well for your test, the truth of the matter is that you will be very panicky and you will easily make some very silly mistakes.

Revision

The theory side needs that you revise adequately to ensure that everything is at your fingertips. If you revise your work, you will realize that you will find it extremely easy to remember the basics and the important points. On the other hand, if at all you do not revise your work thoroughly, you will find that even remembering simple concepts can turn out to be an extremely difficult affair. For this reason, revision of your work should not be something that you should be debating about, but it should be something that you should set your mind to doing.

Focus

The last thing that you need to do to ensure that you pass your driving test is to make sure that you are really focused. Without focus, you are likely to make some blunders that might end up costing you dearly. On the other hand, if you have got focus, you will not be easily distracted; this is because you will know what the important things are, and you will therefore be able to focus on them.

One thing that you need to know however is that as you prepare for your test, make sure that you look into all the areas of your driving lessons. Whether it is the practical or the theory part, it is important that you do not leave anything out in your preparations with the hope of not finding it in the test.

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 helped you,

Walking Under the Influence

Driving under the influence of alcohol is dangerous and illegal, as Florin I discovered. He lost his license for that charge, and two years later he was asked to retake a driving test in order to get his license back.

However, Florin thought that he handles alcohol so well that he came drunk to the test. He was too drunk to even walk well.

This time he didn't get arrested, but just told to come back again when he's sober. Well, what a relief for him.

Comparing Auto Insurance Online

Getting car insurance can be quite expensive, especially for new drivers who just passed their test. One of the ways of lowering the price of it is comparing rates online. Here is an article by Nick Makaryk about this topic.

Comparing Auto Insurance Rates Online

The Internet has really changed the way that we do many different things. As a matter of fact, many of us rely on the Internet for so much now that we could not possibly imagine living without it again. Something that we have available to us which really makes sense is the ability to get auto insurance quotes online. These can either be done individually, or you can do so by using a multi-quote service. Here is how it is done, along with the benefits that you may receive by doing so.

One of the first things that you can do is to go to the individual insurance companies in order to get your auto insurance quotes online. This is going to take a little bit of time, but it does have an advantage of putting you in direct contact with the insurance company itself. One reason why you may not want to do this, however, is because you will probably be contacted by the insurance agent. Whenever you use a multi-quote service, you will, more than likely, just be able to compare the quotes on the screen in front of you.

The vast majority of people are going to want to use a multi-quote service in order to compare the quotes easily. This is a simple thing to do, as you will just need to fill out a form on the Internet that will contain a little bit of personal information and some information about your automobiles. It will usually take a few minutes in order to compile the information, but once it is submitted you will have the quotes that you want in front of you within just a few seconds. They can then be sorted according to price, or perhaps according to other options that are available from the insurance companies.

One of the more interesting reasons why you would want to get one of these auto insurance quotes online in such a way is because of the anonymity. More than likely, you are not going to need to provide your Social Security number, or any other type of personal information such as that. As a matter of fact, most insurance companies are able to give you a fairly accurate quote if they know your sex, name and the state in which you live. They will also need to know information about your automobiles, as that will make a big difference in the amount that you're paying.

If you have a young driver that is going to be on your policy, this is also something that you should consider as well. Make sure that you get these auto insurance quotes online with both that driver on the policy, and one with them having a policy on their own. There are some options that are available that can help younger drivers to be able to save money on their auto insurance. By doing these comparisons, you will be able to save the most amount of money and to ensure that everybody is covered.

Car Insurance Quotation Online strives to get you the best price by using proprietary technology that matches you with the auto insurance carrier that best meets your individual needs. Within just a few minutes, you'll be able to compare real-time quotes. In fact, USA customers who use our car insurance quotation online system usually save $500 or more on their insurance.

Best of all, our service is 100% RISK FREE with absolutely no obligation to purchase.

Scared Drivers

Being a little scared is OK when driving. After all, cars can easily become leathal machines even if you do nothing wrong.

Some drivers are so scared that they begin to interrupt traffic. For example, some traffic lights around here don't require you to stop when turning right. You simply give the right of way to cars on your left and go, without any light. Some drivers find this mission too difficult for them, and they have trouble merging well. They just stop in the merging lane, blocking all traffic behind them.

This kind of driving makes me mad. It's not that difficult to make that turn, and unless traffic is crawling there is no need to stop.

Hopefully next week I'll have something nicer to write here.

Why People Don't Pass

Failing a driving test has many reasons, some seem obvious while others need some more thought. Here is an article I wrote with some of those reasons.

Why People Fail To Pass Their Driving Tests

Indeed, passing your driving tests is probably one of the simplest things that you can do in your teenage hood. Indeed, whether it is your first tine or your third time, you really have no excuse for failing to get the much-coveted driving license. Indeed, I do believe that you must have seen a lot of people who have received these licenses, when in real sense, they were much less intelligent that you. This means that getting the license is not about being extremely intelligence, it just has a lot do to with focus, practice and preparedness.

Today, we are going to look at some of the reasons that make people fail to get their driving licenses once they sit for their tests.

Carelessness

One of the main causes of failures everywhere is carelessness. This is a situation whereby someone does not really take his or her time to pay attention to the things that he or she ought to. For this reason, you will find a situation whereby someone forgets to brake where he needs to, he fails to indicate whether he is turning right or left, and such like things. Because careless driving is one of the major causes of accidents in the world today, it is imperative that this habit be avoided completely.

Failure To Prepare

The other reason why people fail to pass their driving tests is simply because of the fact that a lot of people fail to prepare for their tests. If one does not prepare for his or her tests, you will find that particular person will not be able to do his work properly. On the other hand, if someone prepares well for the test, it will really not be a big problem to handle all the challenges that may come during the time of taking the test.

Drunkenness

Another reason why some people fail to pass their driving test is simply because they arrive for the test when they are drunk. This is something that will really put off the person examining you since this is a sign that you will be a very dangerous person when you get your driving license. In fact, the roads will be much safer place if you do not have one. It is therefore important that you ensure that you are extremely sober when you are going to sit for your test. This way, you can be sure that you will not be wasting your chances in any 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 you will implement the advice given in this article, so you'll be able to pass without any trouble.

Bribe Your Way to Success

Not all government officials are honest and clean, but sometimes it can get dangerous. Apperantly, some policemen in China took bribes to guarantee a driving test pass.

A blogger named Geilishangluo revealed this corruption using some text messages sent and received by those officers.

Hopefully those officers will go to jail for a long time. Bribary is dangerous for itself, and letting people go on the road for money and not for skills is super-dangerous.

Full Coverage Auto Insurance

Full coverage on any insurance policy is not cheap. It requires an investment of big sums of money, but it's worth it. You can be almost worry free with this type of insurance. Here is an article by Michael Harrah about this insurance.

Affordable Full Coverage Auto Insurance

Affordable full coverage auto insurance is only considered easy on the pocket when it fits perfectly with the budget you have in mind. People from all walks of life have various definitions of affordability and what may be a cheap auto insurance for one person may not be as cheap as the other person's preference. Affordability depends on the family's source of income too. Yet those who have the means to pay for the price of an insurance policy will simply refuse because it is not their idea of affordable. Therefore, an easy-on-the-pocket full coverage insurance varies per household. Full coverage means every aspect of your policy is covered.

A full coverage insurance means no deductibles that surprise the policy holder to pay expenses out of his own pocket. Affordability in full coverage insurances might save you a few bucks but it is not advisable in certain circumstances. Further, a cheap insurance policy for a car 3 years older or more would also not be wise. It never is a good idea to pay for an exorbitant amount of money while getting only a fraction of what you paid like in full collision coverages. The thing is, the insurance company always pays for the car's market value and every year that your car gets older, the value of your property also goes down.

If an individual purchases affordable auto insurance he will soon find out that after a claim has been made the amount paid for the collision coverage will not fully pay the whole cost of replacement. At least if you'd known this in advance, you would have opted for the deductible. This same condition also applies to the comprehensive coverage of your policy. If and when your car is stolen, the easy-on-the-pocket full coverage auto insurance will only pay you for the car's market value.

Going Hybrid

In my continued quest to find a car (remember that January 1st post?), today I tried something different: a hybrid car. Well, I wasn't exactly driving it, but being a passenger in this car was different enough already.

First, it's quiet. Really. The only difference between a running and parking car is the lights on the dashboard. Even when it runs on the gas engine, it's still super-silent compared to other cars.

The major difference is the gas mileage. If you go slow enough, you'll see zero (battery). When accelerating, it can reach a good mileage of 20 km/liter, which is fantastic.

If I'll have enough money (and I need more than enough for a hybrid...), a hybrid car is definitely a good candidate. Good mileage, silent running, and government benefits for hybrids should definitely do the trick.

The Challenges of the Driving Test

Getting a driver's license is a privilege, and you need to work hard to get your privileges. Here is an article I wrote about the challenges of passing a driving test.

The Challenges That You Will Face When Studying For Your Driving Test

There are so many challenges that you should be ready fro if you are going to study for your driving test. This is because; it is as if it is the law of nature that you will be able to achieve anything good without experiencing some pain. In trying to get your driving license, you will realize that the obstacles must be overcome if at all you want to achieve your goal. In this article, I am going to look at the two most common ones so that you can be better prepared for the task that is ahead of you.

The first challenge that you will face when you are studying for your driving test is the fact that you will always feel that you would like to procrastinate. Well, if you are not the kind of person who will stick to doing something once you have decided that you will benefit a lot if at all you go ahead and do it, then you are likely to suffer a lot of procrastination. Although some people never see procrastination as a dangerous habit, it actually is. You will find that if you procrastinate, you will be forced to take a lot of time in doing your work and you will also be forced to do it in a very hurried manner. At the end of the day, you will realize that you will not have read properly.

The second challenge that you will face when you are studying for your driving test is that you may not know which areas of the theory test that you should focus on. This usually comes about when you have not prepared well and yet you do not want to fail the test. You therefore know that since you may not be able to tackle all the areas of the theory, you just need to guess the areas that might come and then get thorough with them. Well, if this is the mind that you are having, then I would like to advise you to put such a mind away. The reason why I am saying that is because of you choose to do so, you will go to the exam room and realize that everything that you left out has come in the test.

At the end of the day, the most important thing that you should do is to ensure that you start the preparations early. If you do this, then you can be sure that you will not panic at all when the time of the test comes.

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.

Good luck!

Common Auto Insurance Questions

When buying auto insurance, many questions pop to your mind. It often requires a big sum of money to have them all answered. However, here is an article by Ted Kripps that can shed some light on the most burning ones.

The Most Common Auto Insurance Questions

Insurance has become an integral component of each of our lives. Though we may never make a claim relating to the cover we take out, it is still important to hold policies that help to ensure we are protected financially. If you have recently bought a new car, you may have a number of auto insurance questions you would like answered prior to choosing a policy. Though most insurers claim they can guide consumers into making the right choice, the advice and assistance which they give can often be biased.

At the outset, it is important to understand how much cover you would need. There are a selection of factors that would influence the amount of coverage you should have. Almost every state in the country stipulates a legal minimum liability coverage, this ensures that any accidents you are involved in do not result in a loss to another party. The minimum stipulated level may not always be practical, especially if your vehicle is an expensive model. There are online calculators that can be used to work out the exact level of cover that should be taken out.

If you have a history of bad credit, you may want to know how this will impact on your ability to acquire an affordable insurance policy. The majority of insurers now use credit scores as one of the determining factors when drawing up quotes.

Those drivers that have always struggled to pay their debts and bills on time will find it much harder to locate an affordable quote. It is believed that there is a correlation between irresponsible credit usage and making insurance claims.

It is not that difficult to accidentally break traffic regulations. If you've been prosecuted for speeding or reckless driving, there is a good chance that this will have a negative impact on the cost of your next premium. Not all violations do end up causing an increase in rates, though most do. If you have been prosecuted for a driving offence, it is even more important to shop around to find a good deal.

There is one question that all vehicle owners would like to have answered - how can I save money on auto insurance? There are a range of techniques and tips that can be used and implemented to bring down the outlay massively. For example, you can reduce your mileage, enroll on an advanced drivers program, install the latest security alarm and immobilisers, and park your car in a safe location when not in use.

The Faster Speed of Sound

In some places, it seems like sound is faster than light. For example, in the traffic light near my house some people honk before the light has turned green.

Yes, some people have no patience at all and they want me to move right when they reach the light. However, when the light is red I have no option but to stay there and wait for it to become green.

Hopefully people will grow more patient soon, or I'll lose my mind. Seriously.

Plan Ahead to Pass

Planning ahead is a key to almost everything in life, and passing a driving test is not different. Here is an article I wrote about the importance of planning in the driving test.

The Importance Of Planning In Passing Your Driving Test

When people see that many people who seem to have below average intelligence managed to get their driving license in their first attempt, they tend to think that there is really very little effort that goes into preparing for the test. Well, nothing can be further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that there is indeed a lot planning that goes into preparing for the driving test. If you still do not believe, I have outlined to you some of the reasons why it is extremely important fro you to prepare for your driving test.

Makes Your Work Simple

Like every other plan, plans that are meant to help you prepare fro your driving test are extremely important in helping you to simplify your work. The reason why I am saying that is because if at all you are preparing for your test, you will realize that there will be very many instances where you may not be so sure on where to start at. At times, you might feel that it would be great if at all you started on a particular footing, but as you probably know already, feelings are not good things to rely on if at all success is what you are after. This means that you must be willing and able to plan so that you can simplify your work.

Keeps You Focused

The other reason why planning is very important, and sometimes even critical, when it comes to preparing for your driving test is that it goes along way n helping you stay focused on the path that is ahead of you. Without planning, you are likely to find yourself in a situation whereby you keep on jumping from one section to the other, thereby reducing the effectiveness of your preparation efforts.

Helps You In Assessment

The other reason why it is extremely important for you to plan for your preparation efforts is because of the fact that it helps in assessing how well your efforts are bearing fruit. There is really no need for you to keep on working so hard on something when in fact there is nothing that you are getting from it.

All in all, it is advisable that as you continue preparing for your driving tests, whether theoretical or practical, you do not forget to plan for every step. If you fail to plan, then you are definitely planning to fail.

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,

The Crash

February starts today, and we have a nice story to cheer you up. Apparently, being a magazine editor doesn't make you invulnerable. The editor of a wealth management magazine crashed a Bentley during a test drive. The editor will have to manage her wealth very wisely now, since the Bentley she crashed is worth $250,000.

The reason for the crash, like the reason for many crashes this season, is ice. The editor lost control of the vehicle on an icy road and swerved to avoid a UPS truck. The result, as she said, is only a bumper loss.

Hopefully she was properly insured, or she'll have to find a quarter of million dollars somewhere.
