Rod Stewart Fakes
Rod Stewart, the famous singer, faked his driving test with his roadie. According to him, it was a pretty easy thing to do back in 1967.
You shouldn't try that now. It's not only illegal, it's also very, very hard to do.

Insurance Tips for Teens
If you're a teen who needs auto insurance, you should probably read Zachary Wade article, which is about exactly this topic.
Auto Insurance Tips For Teens
The answer to the query on how to find the best car insurance for drivers remains a mystery to a lot of people. In order to unlock this mystery, this article is created.
Naturally, insurance companies charge a higher premium price to teenagers. If you just knew this, well, here's some news for you. Insurance companies charge expensive insurances to teens because they see them as part of the group that's more at risk for road accidents.
But, this concern can still be managed since there are some companies who give discounts to teens. Some of these ways are illustrated below.
Firstly, you must be able to choose an appropriate car. Insurance companies favour teenagers to drive safer cars. This means that it is best to purchase economy or new cars and ward off from the luxury and sports cars. So if you are still going to purchase a car, then you should remember this point.
Also, you can present your exceptional report card to the insurance company. There are so many insurance companies that honor teens who excel in school. They offer this because these companies believe that teenagers who have the high marks are the responsible drivers. To get this insurance discount, you only have to submit your report card to the insurance company.
In addition to all those discussed above, you can must also select wisely the coverage to get. What's meant by this is that you should only apply for the coverage that you can utilize as a young driver, so you must always check your insurance policy inclusions.
Yet one more way to get cheap car insurance is to use telematics insurance. This method uses a 'black box' GPS device that measures factors such as speed and others so that a score will be achieved. The score provided by the device will be the basis for the cost of the premium that the young driver will have to pay the insurance company. So if you are confident about your driving skills, then you should use this kind of insurance.
The safety features present in your car can also save you some cash. This is due to the fact that insurance companies lower your premium when they know that your car is safer to drive because of these devices.
Finally, you can choose to take a driver's class which could also help lower down your insurance premium.
Now those are the top ways a young driver can do to have budget-friendly insurances.
You can still get a good bargain with car insurance for teens, today.Get additional information on cheapest auto insurance for young drivers, here.

Tires and Mileage
After a while I haven't done so, I finally had the time and place to inflate my tires. It's not only important for my safety, but I see a big difference in gas mileage as a result.
Also, every time I inflate them to the proper pressure, I notice a better driving experience and better control on my car. I recommend everyone who notices a drop in performance to stop at the nearest gas station and fill some air.
Have a great, air filled weekend!

Get All the Practice You Need
Once again, it's Tips Friday. Here are five more tips that will help you pass your driving test.
Are you going to be taking your driving test soon? If so, you're probably feeling anxious. In order to pass, you need to learn how to stay calm behind the wheel. Don't let anxiety overpower you. Get sufficient practice every single day and try to learn every single maneuver. You need to get every aspect of driving down pat.
There are some amazing online resources available to help you. All you have to do is look over them. They are designed to help student drivers learn proper driving techniques. You'll have the knowledge you need for getting the best out of your daily practice.
Plus, online driving courses contain information from the examiners themselves concerning the test process. You'll learn secrets on how to pass that you wouldn't otherwise be privy to.
To get you started on your daily practice, here are a few tips:
1. For the first few days, practice whenever you can in an empty parking lot. Just drive around when there is no one else nearby. The idea of this is to get you used to being in the driver's seat. You should have a reliable driver sitting next to you. As you begin to get used to being in the driver's seat, you can move on to a road.
2. Don't overlook the little things, such as checking your mirrors frequently. Whenever you have to stop, brake slowly. Never grip the wheel too tightly. Learn what all of the controls are for and how to use them. Don't put too much focus on the bigger picture that you neglect the little details.
3. Since you can't know for sure on which roads you will be taking your test, practice driving on all of them. Study the routes and go driving on them. Try to drive all around your entire town the days leading up to the exam.
4. In order to drive comfortably and safely, you must adjust the seat that it fits your size. You should be sitting two feet from the wheel. Try sitting straight in your seat, but not to the point where you are tense.
5. Practice driving with your mentor or teacher prior to the test. Practice pulling out, making turns, braking, backing up straight, parallel parking, checking your mirrors, etc. Arrive at the DMV as early as possible and try to relax yourself. If you feel nervous, take some deep breaths. Remind yourself that everything's going to be all right. Even if you fail, so what? You can get back to practicing and preparing for the next time.
As long as you have good study material and a reliable teacher, you should get all the practice you need. You should be able to pass your driving test without any problems!

High Risk Auto Insurance
When you apply for auto insurance, the company profiles you and then assigns you a certain risk and a premium. Here is an article by Charlie Brandes about this topic.
Do You Really Need High Risk Auto Insurance?
Insurance companies rate drivers on a number of factors before determining that they are high risk. The higher the probability that you will be in an accident, the higher your auto insurance rates will be. Although there are a variety of reasons you can be labeled "high-risk" by insurance companies, there are a few ways to reduce your car insurance rates.
Why Am I a High-Risk Driver?
Usually it's one or more reasons that would make a driver be labeled as high risk by their insurance company. For example, having multiple tickets, being a new driver, or having an unusually high number of accidents. Motor vehicle violations such as Driving Under the Influence (DUI) can also cause a driver to fall into the high-risk category and it can take as long as 5 years to clear from your driving record. Driving a high-performance vehicle designed for racing can lead to higher rates. Age and credit rating may also be a factor. Younger drivers with no insurance history and older drivers may be considered high-risk by their insurance companies.
Getting Back to Low Risk Status
Some high-risk drivers may need time to pass for past driving infractions to no longer impact their rates but can still find insurance companies that specialize in these types of policies. Shop around and get several quotes, ask for possible discounts such as bundling your home and auto package. You can get safe-vehicle discounts and reduced rates for insuring more than one vehicle. Ask your agent for the best deal and remember that he wants your business and will work with you to get and keep it. Continued coverage with the same insurance company can also lower your rates. Request a policy upgrade when your motor vehicle violations have cleared your driving record (usually 3 years for non-DUI infractions).
Assigned Risk Pools are designed to provide auto insurance to high-risk drivers. Depending on the state you live, the government assigns you an insurance agency and you cannot shop around but you get coverage. Some states require you to file a form SR22 that proves coverage and these ARP's (Assigned Risk Pools) are some drivers only option to be able to legally drive back and forth to work.
Taking defensive driving courses can lower your rates with some companies and remove points from your driving record. In some states where you live and where you park your car at night can affect your rate. If you live in an area with high accident rates and high crime you can be considered high-risk by your carrier.
Having a deductible as part of your auto insurance package can bring down rates, ask your agent for the best plan for your situation. If you are a younger driver and still living at home you may be able to get into a group plan on a family policy but this in not available in all states. Of course, driving safely and responsibly is the best way to eventually lose the label of high-risk driver and save lots of money over the years.

Hail the Weather
It's winter time. Usually that doesn't bother me too much, but last week was a major annoyance. Besides the near-freezing temperatures, there was another form of precipitation this week: hail.
Hail usually comes when the temperatures are low, and they were indeed low. Only six degrees Celcius in some cases, and even lower in other places. After an hour of hail, my car was covered with ice and I was frozen inside my clothes.
This week it's going to be better. I hope.

Knowledge and Practice - the Keys for Success
When you prepare for your driving test, there are two things you need the most - knowledge and practice. Having both of them will get you on the path to success. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.
You probably don't want to hear this, but approximately 50% of first time driving test applicants fail. Some people have to take the test several times before they pass. Failure is always due to lack of knowledge and preparation. You want to pass on your first try, you need to know how to prepare yourself. If you've already taken the driving test and failed, you need to know how to make improvements so that you pass the next time you take it.
One way you can get the knowledge you need is by checking out a good guide with driving techniques and secrets. There are some useful resources online filled with all of the information you need for developing good habits behind the wheel. Read and study the information every single day before you practice.
You can also find videos that show and explain, step by step, how to do things such as parallel park and merge on the interstate. Watch these videos, read about them in the study guides, and go out and practice what you learn. You'll feel more comfortable behind the wheel if you know what you're doing.
Having the right amount of confidence is important. You want to feel confident with your driving abilities, but not overly so. You don't want to become too relaxed with your driving skills that you neglect to be cautious.
It's also to your advantage to find out exactly what's included in the test. What will the examiner be watching for? What mistakes should you be careful to avoid? You can find a checklist of everything that's going to be included in the driving test online. Print out a copy and take it with you as you practice. While you're at it, find a copy of common mistakes that new drivers make so that you'll know how to do things properly.
You might also be able to find maps of the testing routes online, depending on where you live. Even if you can't find any maps, ask friends where they had to drive during their test. Go and practice driving all around that area until you are familiar with each and every street.
On the day of the test, you should have an idea of how everything is going to go, from start to finish. Try your best to stay calm. As long as you studied and practiced a lot beforehand, you shouldn't be too nervous. Remember to scan the traffic around you while you drive. Check the mirrors frequently. Develop good driving habits when you practice so that you'll do everything right on test day.
As mentioned above, you can find all of the information you need, such as driving guides, driving videos, and tips on the internet. Check out these resources if you want to pass with flying colors. With the right tools, you shouldn't have any problems preparing for your driving test.

Choosing the right insurance firm is a matter of money. Lots of money. Here is an article by Jasmeet K Aulakh about this sensitive topic.
Keys To Selecting The Right Auto Insurance Firm

5. Search on the web
Thanks to technology, a lot of people are turning to the web for information. Thereby, it is extremely easy for clients to acquire the best of what they need. Auto insurance firms have not been left out either as they have set up their own sites, where you can rate the company's plans while analyzing comments from previous clients.

Freezing Out There
Winter is definitely here. Besides the rain, wind, and potholes, it's also cold. Very cold. In fact, so cold that I cannot see through my mirrors when backing out of my driveway and I have to open the windows. And freeze.
Well, it's actually not THAT cold, compared to North America. We don't get actual freezing temperatures, but more or less 10 degrees Celcius. Enough to force me to use the defroster, not enough to force me to turn on the air conditioner in the car.
The really bad part comes when it's raining and freezing and I have to step out of the car. That's the part I try to make the shortest.
Have a great, non-freezing weekend!

One More Set of Secrets
Driving test secrets. We haven't had those in a long time, and it's come-back time! Here they are, once again.
It's not easy to prepare for your driving test. The test itself can be quite difficult - especially if you're not thoroughly prepared. Not only do you have to get plenty of practice every day, you also have to prepare yourself mentally. Many student drivers end up failing on their first try. You can be in the half that passes on the first try if you take advantage of internet driving test resources. If you've already tried and failed, you can ensure that you pass the very next time you take it.
There is a variety of tools and resources on the internet designed to help you pass. You need to know all of the rules of the road in order to practice, and you must practice every single day if you want to pass the test. Be sure to practice with a responsible adult who is willing to help you understand your mistakes without yelling at you. This person should be both calm and alert. It will also help to print out a copy of all the errors student drivers make. Have your trainer go down the list as you practice driving to see if you're making any of the errors.
Here are some driving tips you need to follow in order to get through the road test:
1. Try your best to remain calm from start to finish. If you realize that you've made a mistake, don't panic. Stay focused on what you're doing and try to avoid making anymore mistakes.
2. Get in the habit of signaling correctly. Practice driving in areas where you have to make turns and signal. Failing to signal properly is one of the reasons why many people fail.
3. Always keep your hands positioned on the wheel at two and ten o'clock. Never grip it tightly. Your grip should be firm, but not to the point where you're squeezing it.
4. If you don't understand your instructions, ask the examiner to repeat them. It's better to ask for confirmation about something you don't understand than to attempt driving without clear instructions.
5. Even if you don't have to use all of the switches and controls in the vehicle, you need to know what they are all for and how to use them. Know every inch of the vehicle you will be tested in. Don't think that just because you'll be tested on a clear day that you don' have to learn how to use fog lights.
Keep these tips in mind and you should be able to get through the test. Whether you pass or not, however, depends on how much you're willing to study and practice.
While you're doing research on driving tests, go ahead and check out some helpful guides. You can learn everything you need to know for passing your driver's test by reading online guides and taking practice tests. Knowing these driving secrets will help you pass!
There is a variety of tools and resources on the internet designed to help you pass. You need to know all of the rules of the road in order to practice, and you must practice every single day if you want to pass the test. Be sure to practice with a responsible adult who is willing to help you understand your mistakes without yelling at you. This person should be both calm and alert. It will also help to print out a copy of all the errors student drivers make. Have your trainer go down the list as you practice driving to see if you're making any of the errors.
Here are some driving tips you need to follow in order to get through the road test:
1. Try your best to remain calm from start to finish. If you realize that you've made a mistake, don't panic. Stay focused on what you're doing and try to avoid making anymore mistakes.
2. Get in the habit of signaling correctly. Practice driving in areas where you have to make turns and signal. Failing to signal properly is one of the reasons why many people fail.
3. Always keep your hands positioned on the wheel at two and ten o'clock. Never grip it tightly. Your grip should be firm, but not to the point where you're squeezing it.
4. If you don't understand your instructions, ask the examiner to repeat them. It's better to ask for confirmation about something you don't understand than to attempt driving without clear instructions.
5. Even if you don't have to use all of the switches and controls in the vehicle, you need to know what they are all for and how to use them. Know every inch of the vehicle you will be tested in. Don't think that just because you'll be tested on a clear day that you don' have to learn how to use fog lights.
Keep these tips in mind and you should be able to get through the test. Whether you pass or not, however, depends on how much you're willing to study and practice.
While you're doing research on driving tests, go ahead and check out some helpful guides. You can learn everything you need to know for passing your driver's test by reading online guides and taking practice tests. Knowing these driving secrets will help you pass!
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 you found those secrets useul.

First Time Driving: Daria
Today's first time driver is Daria, who violated a traffic law within ten seconds of driving - a rolling stop. I wonder what else could happen.
This video is from December 30, so Daria still has a very long time to go until she can get her license. Hopefully it'll be with no more traffic violations.
Good luck!

The Driving Test Clog
Australia is often heard about as a great place to live, but apparently, if you want to obtain a driver's license, it's not that easy. You can sometimes wait up to two months. Not friendly at all.

Five Ways to Lower Insurance Costs
Lowering insurance costs is a goal shared by many of us. Fortunately, Laurie C Pallini is kind enough to show us the way. Here is her article.
Five Great Ways to Decrease Auto Insurance Costs
Car insurance is a necessity but finding the right policy will require both time and effort. The price and conditions depend on the insurance company, on your driving record, on the kind of car you drive and, naturally, on the type of policy you are interested in.
Decreasing the cost of auto insurance is possible, though many people never take the time to come up with the right strategy. The following five ideas can help you get an attractive car insurance quote.
Shop Around - Shopping around is a basic principle and a necessity, no matter what products or services you are interested in. In the case of auto insurance quotes, you can perform a simple online search that will help you save both time and money. Exploring offers side by side will reveal the vast differences between the quotes of one company and those of another. You will notice that the prices differ, as well. Shopping around will help you understand the market and choose the best price to quality ratio.
Your Driving Record - A clean driving record is the second step towards an attractive auto insurance quote. Accidents and violations categorize you as a high risk driver and insurance companies are more likely to give such individuals expensive offers.
Your Vehicle - A low-profile car will usually result in less expensive auto insurance. The premiums depend on the price of the car. New, luxurious models are typically more expensive to repair and this is why insurance companies bring up the prices. Additionally, such vehicles are more likely to get stolen. To decrease the insurance price even further, you can do several modifications to the vehicle before you start shopping around. Safety gear added to the car will pay off in the future. Some of the adjustments you can consider include anti-lock breaks, air bags, daytime running lights and automatic seat belts.
Get Solely the Insurance that You Need - Many people pay for expensive auto insurance because they are getting coverage that is unnecessary. Do some careful planning in advance and figure out the particular type of car insurance that will work best for you. Owners of older vehicles should refrain from getting comprehensive coverage and collision coverage. Claims you make for inexpensive cars will usually be smaller than the deductible and the price of the insurance.
Ask for Discounts - When you talk to an insurance agent, inquire about additional discounts and promotional offers. Very often, you will miss a great opportunity because you decided to refrain from asking about alternative possibilities. Senior citizens and teenagers may typically be eligible for a less expensive auto insurance. People who have a clean driving record may also benefit from such opportunities.

New Interchanges
Like every Saturday, I'm going to drive today again up North. The road is fairly similar from week to week, but due to a recent construction boom, every week I have to adjust to new road conditions, new traffic lights, and new interchanges.
Road renovation is important, otherwise the roads become really old and dangerous to drive on. However, construction zones are even a bigger pain than old roads, since the roads are scrubbed.
Hopefully, the new interchanges and traffic lights will be complete soon, so driving will be smoother and faster.

Practice and Preparation Steps
If you're currently in the process of learning for your driving test, here is an article I wrote that will help you practice and prepare.
You've passed your written driving test. Now it's time to prepare for the actual road exam. You're probably feeling nervous - especially if you've never been behind the wheel before. Passing a written test doesn't mean you're prepared for the road test. You need to get out there on the road and practice.
If you've passed the written test then you should already be acquainted with the basics.
Here is an overview of everything you need to know in order to practice driving.

Here is an overview of everything you need to know in order to practice driving.
Step #1
First, you need to familiarize yourself with the pre-driving ritual. These small details are very important. If you don't remember to do every single thing, you could fail your test.
Start out by adjust the seat so that you are comfortable. It should be easy for you to reach the brake and gas pedals. Next, you need to fasten your seatbelt and adjust the mirrors. Look over your shoulder to see if there is anybody or anything in your blind spot.

Step #2
Next, you need to know how to pull out and begin. your hands should be kept at 10 and 2 on the wheel. Always remember to signal properly and to use the mirrors correctly when changing lanes and pulling into traffic.
Know when and where to stop. When you come to a STOP sign, always stop completely for a few seconds, even if the road looks clear. You'll lose points on your exam if you don't stop completely. At the start of your practice, stick to light traffic areas and empty parking lots.

Step #3
You need to learn how to park. This includes parallel parking, which many people have trouble with. Parallel parking becomes easier with practice. You can set up boxes or cones in an empty area and practice parking in between them. Once you get the hang of it, you can practice parking in between actual cars.

Step #4
Develop good driving habits. While you practice, check your mirror regularly. Before you make a turn, make it a habit to look all around you before, from left to right, and then left again.
Learn defensive driving. Always assume that other drivers are going to make a serious error and prepare yourself for it. However, you don't want to become too distracted by them that you lose focus on what you're doing yourself.

First Time Driving: Austin
Today's first time driver is Austin, whose father took him for a drive in the snow, so he began his video with a prayer. Sounds legitimate.
This video is from December 27, so Austin still has a very long time to go until he can get his license. Hopefully his father will calm down by then.
Good luck!
