Another Pay-to-Pass

Getting a driver's license for some people can become a real urge so they bribe their examiner. One of them was arrested last week.

This examiner took as much as £3,000 per test to give a passing score. How desperate you need to be to pay this sum?

Insurance Saving Tips

Saving money on insurance is a must in these days of economic trouble. Here is an article by Kip Kelly that shows how to do it well.

Tips for Saving on Your Auto Insurance

Saving money can be a lot easier when you know what to do. Rather than overpay for your car insurance, you can look into the several ways to make it more affordable. Being able to spend less for the same great insurance you know and want is possible, and everyone can do it. By driving smarter and knowing your options, you will be paying less quickly without sacrificing the quality of your insurance. This is something every person can do, but it does take some time and effort. When you invest yourself into the goal of having more affordable auto insurance rates, you will be able to save a lot more money over time.

The first thing you should do is compare auto insurance online. Companies offer different rates and learning more about what is available to you will help you to make the right decision. Going online is an easy way to do this because you will have everything readily available to you. Many companies, major and minor, are offering quotes online to make it easier for people to choose, and this is a great way for you to learn what is out there. By comparing the quotes you are given, you can make an informed decision that will benefit you in the best way possible. This gives you the most affordable option as well as the one that is most suited to your needs.

If the auto insurance quotes you are finding are not as low as you had hoped, you can begin making changes to your driving record and looking into what else different companies take into consideration. By cleaning up your record with better driving habits, you can lower rates in general. If you already have points on your record, wait some time. Those points will come off as time goes by if you are being a good driver, which will improve your driving record. You should also familiarize yourself with what the different companies look into, giving you the opportunity to see where else you can make changes.

Using online auto insurance and improving your driving record can make a difference in what you are paying for your insurance. You can find better rates and lower them over time, all without a lot of extra effort. This is about having better driving habits and looking at all of your options, things every person can do. While it may not be right away, these will show an obvious change in how much you are paying.

One More Night

Night driving is one of my favorite hobbies. The roads are empty and speeds go up. Last week I had one of those to the airport (of course).

The way to the airport goes through a major freeway, so I could develop a good speed without being disturbed, and made it to the airport quite fast.

The only problem was the time: 3:30 in the morning. I should try to do it less...

If You Want to Pass, Start Practicing Now

Passing a driving test is about knowledge and practice, practice, practice. Here is an article I wrote about this topic.

Trying to Get Your Driver's License? Get Started With Practice Driving!

In order to drive legally in this country, you need to pass your driving test. If you want to get out there and explore, you need to go through the test and pass.

Before you take your test, you'll need to practice whenever you can in a relatively empty area. A good, professional adult should be with you to make sure you're doing everything correctly.

One of the first things you need to do is familiarize yourself with the signals, hand gestures, street signs, and the speed limits. Never try driving until you're familiar with the interior and exterior of the car.

As mentioned above, you need to begin in an empty area. When you first start out, you need to get a feel of the wheel. Practice holding it correctly. You need to hold it firmly, but not tightly. Your left hand should be at 10 o'clock and your right hand should be at 2 o'clock. DO NOT get in the habit of staring at your hands on the wheel. Your eyes should always be scanning the area surrounding you, from the left to the right. Check your rearview mirrors in between.

Get in the habit of checking your mirrors frequently - even more than normal, just so you'll get used to it. You should keep an eye on all of the vehicles around you. Anticipate other drivers' mistakes so that you'll be able to make a smart move in the event that they make them.

If you have driving anxiety, you don't have to practice on a road just yet. You can practice in an empty parking lot for the time being. You can also look for old roads with little to no traffic in your area. Wait until you're confident enough that you can stay on your side of the road when before you venture out onto more crowded roads.

About a week before you're scheduled to take the test, print out some maps of the testing area and begin practicing on the streets you will be tested on. Familiarize yourself with the streets, the signs, and turns.

On the day of your test, make sure the car is ready. Everything should be clean and presentable. The indicators and headlights should be in working order. Bring all of the important papers such as your social security card, learner's permit, and proof of insurance to the DMV with you. Try to arrive at least 15 minutes early so that you won't feel rushed.

As long as you study and take your time learning, you should become a confident driver. Don't force yourself to learn everything at once, or you'll only become confused and frustrated.

One of the smartest things you can do is check out an online driving course. There are online driving guides filled with all of the information you need to help you get through the test. They are well put together. You will find practicing to be a lot easier with the use of these driving resources.

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.

Car Protection With Affordable Insurance

Insurance is, above everything, a protection. I helps you to be sure that your car and your bank account are safe when something happens. Here is an article by Cookie Maxwell about this important topic.

Protect Your Ride With Affordable Car Insurance

If you have a car, affordable car insurance is something that you absolutely must invest in. There's no excuse for driving uninsured, and you could end up with a lot of complicated problems if you choose to do so. In most states, carrying some type of auto insurance is required. In those where it's not, you still need to prove some type of financial responsibility for the other drivers on the road. Affordable car insurance is the best and smartest way to stay safe when you're driving.

If you've been driving with minimum coverage because you were afraid of having to pay too much for additional insurance, you may want to reconsider your assumptions. Affordable car insurance may be much easier to come by than you thought. There's no reason that you can't enjoy the benefits of a good insurance plan without draining your wallet. In fact, there are a number of things that you can do to reduce your insurance rates without spending a lot of money.

One fast way to reduce your insurance costs is to simply drive less. If you take a lot of joy rides around town, this is something that you can easily cut back on. You can also drive less by:

• Combining your errands
• Making thorough shopping lists once a week so you don't have to run out for groceries or single ingredients every few days
• Using a rental car for long road trips
• Carpooling to work or looking into public transportation for your daily commute
• Walking to nearby stores or recreational spots like the library or park
• Getting a bike for cheap, healthy transportation to certain locations

The less you drive, the more affordable car insurance will be for you. Your premiums will also get lower if you take steps to make sure you're as safe as possible when you're on the road. There are lots of discounts out there related to safe driving. You can get discounts for a safe driving record, for having air bags, for having anti-lock brakes, and for agreeing to take a safe driver course. Anti-theft devices on your car make it safer as well, and will also contribute to helping you get a more affordable car insurance plan.

You deserve to have the protection that you need when you're on the road. Even in states where insurance is required by law, you can't be sure that the other person will have it. If you're in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver, you want to have additional insurance on your end to cover the expenses that are left to you. The right affordable car insurance plan will give you this.

Other things to consider are damage that may occur outside of an actual accident with another driver. If you hit a slick spot on the road, you may roll your car or run into a tree. You never know when you might get into an accident with a wild animal like a deer. Look for an affordable car insurance plan that will protect you from all of these things.

What You Need in Order to Pass

As you know, this blog is all about preparation for the driving test. Here is an article I wrote about what you need to prepare for the driving test and pass.

Preparing for Road Test - A List of Things You Need to Do in Order to Pass

Are you looking for ways to become a better driver so that you'll pass your upcoming driving test? If so, then you need to get yourself a good online study guide and start practicing. You'll need to feel comfortable behind the wheel. Even if you already do, there are still things you need to practice doing if you want to become a good driver.

While the standard DMV guidebook may provide enough information for you to pass the written test, you'll need more resources if you want to pass the road exam. Fortunately, you can find maps, videos, guides, and more online.

To get you started, here is a list of things you can do to prepare for your road exam:

• Do a routine safety check every day before you begin your driving lessons. Everything should look fine on the outside, and all of the controls should be in working order on the inside. When you get in the car, adjust the mirrors and your seat to suit your size and preferences.

• Remember to always stop fully at stop lights and signs. You'll get penalized if you fail to do so when taking your test. If you can't see around a corner, it's okay to slowly "creep up" AFTER you stop fully to see if there's something approaching you from the side.

• Listening plays a huge role in learning how to drive. Make sure you're practicing with an individual whom you can trust. This person should point out your errors to you and explain why you made them, and what you can do to avoid making them in the future. On the day of the test, listen to your examiner. If you're unsure about any of your instructions, ask for clarification. If you don't listen clearly, you will make a mistake and fail. It could also be dangerous if you don't listen carefully.

• One major error you can make is neglecting to look out your back mirror when you are going in reverse. Don't rely on your rearview mirror alone. Turn around as you pull out of a parking space or drive in reverse. Make sure there are no pedestrians or animals walking behind you. They could easily be in your blind spot.

• When taking the test, don't let yourself get too excited near the end. It won't be over until you have pulled towards the curb and parked correctly. When you pull the vehicle near the curb, straighten the wheels out if needed, and put the vehicle in park.

Hopefully, you'll pass the road test the next time you take it. Even if you don't, you can study some more and try it again. These tips will give you some ideas of what to practice on.

There is much more you can learn if you want to pass your driving test. You need to take advantage of online driving guides, tests, maps, practice quizzes, and more. You don't have to learn everything at once - take your time and learn how to drive, step by step, until you are comfortable enough to take your road exam.

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.

Florida PIP Insurance

Recently, some changes have taken place in the Florida PIP auto insurance. Here is an article by Dino M Visitacion explaining them.

Understanding the Changes on Florida PIP Auto Insurance

With regards to the state authorities' purpose to crack down on Florida car insurance fraud, the state rendered some enhancements on its no-fault PIP insurance commonly known as Personal Injury Protection or PIP recently.

This content is going to provide fundamental information about the critical modifications on the reformed Florida auto insurance PIP law.

The Sunshine State still provides the $10,000 PIP coverage that will deliver immediate aid to the insurance holder in the event of a vehicular accident, to pay for medical bills, partial wage loss, as well as some out of the pocket expenditures that could be necessary pursuing the accident. However, not understanding the changes instituted on the Florida PIP law may deny an insurance policy holder for the said benefits. So, allow me to share the things that each Florida auto insurance policyholder must need to know about the reformed Florida PIP law:

Following an accident, the insurance holder should seek out medical treatment not later than 14 days. Failure to do this will default his or her PIP coverage.

Though the patient was able to avail of the medical care within the 14-day time window, the PIP beneficiary must be diagnosed by the medical professional to be in an "emergency medical condition (EMC)" before the beneficiary could avail of the full $10,000 PIP coverage, if not, the policyholder is only able to use the fractional $2,500 coverage. Emergency medical condition is being described as that whenever the beneficiary's health condition is in serious risk, that there's impairment to their bodily processes, or that there is a significant problem on any of his or her body parts or organs.

Chiropractors are not anymore included among the medical professionals that can classify a patient to be in an "emergency medical condition." The new Florida PIP law requires a list of medical providers which may only assign an EMC status to a patient.

Massage treatment are not anymore included in Florida PIP auto insurance coverage even so when it's being prescribed by the medical provider.

Your insurance company may well not cover the treatment for your injuries if the severity has not been recognized over the medical treatment, even if the doctor will attribute such with the injuries you sustained over the car accident.

The personal injury protection laws in the state of Florida have already seen numerous revisions throughout the years. PIP was first introduced to the state in 1971. Florida then was the second state in the United States to provide PIP coverage to its residents.

More information on the Florida PIP changes are readily available by reading the bill, HB-119, over the Florida's Senate website.

If you are looking for the cheapest auto insurance and homeowners insurance in Florida, I recommend InsureDirect.com. They also offer a click-to-call feature that can provide you insurance coverage in an instant. Visit them at http://www.insuredirect.com.

Another Gas Raise

As if it wasn't enough, last week we had another gas price raise. The sad part is, as usual, taxes. Over half the price of gas is taxes, which means a tax rate of over 100%.

Since it's a fixed rate, the only way to get this rate below 100% is to raise the price of oil. A lot. That way we'll pay more for gas than taxes, but go bankrupt.

Something must be done about this robbery. Quickly.

The Important Things

When learning to drive, there are some important things to remember if you want to become a good driver. Here is an article I wrote about this subject.

Driving Test Tips - Important Things You Need to Learn in Order to Do Well on Your Road Exam

Don't let your upcoming driving exam stress you too much. While it's normal to feel nervous, you don't want to become stressed out. If you know what to expect ahead of time, you will feel more comfortable behind the wheel. Don't try to learn everything at once. Print out a checklist of everything you'll be tested on and practice one or two things at a time. Taking your time and being patient is essential if you want the test go smoothly.

Here are some of the important things you need to learn during your practice:

- Learn how to park on a hill properly. The car will have to be in neutral. Make sure you turn the wheels in the right direction. Also, keep them six to eight inches away from the curb. The amount of space required varies from state to state.

- There's no need to rush when you're doing any type of parking. Take as much time as you need. It's better to take things really slow than to hurry. If you have trouble, put out all the way and start from the beginning. Practice every single day until you start to get the hang of it.

- Remember to brake gently when you are approaching a stop light or sign. Always come to a complete stop. When the light turns red, make sure traffic is clear from every direction before you proceed. Get in the habit of doing this and you should do well on your test.

- Whenever you need to change lanes, don't forget about your blind spots. Look in the mirror and over your shoulder both. Use the proper signal and switch lanes when it's clear to do so.

- Also check your blind spot and use the proper signals when you are pulling out. It's not just other vehicles you need to keep an eye out for. You should also check for animals, pedestrians, children on bicycles, and other obstructions. When you're absolutely sure that there is nothing or no one in the way, pull out carefully.

- Don't bother taking the test until you know what every single control and switch in the vehicle is for. Know how to operate everything correctly. Even if you don't plan on using some of the controls during the testing, your examiner might ask you know point them out just to see if you know where they're at.

These guidelines should be enough to get you started. However, there is still a lot more for you to learn. The more you learn, the less nervous you'll feel on the day of the test.

Overcome those nerves and increase your self-confidence by checking out a good online driving guidebook! Taking an online driver's course is one of the wisest decisions you can make. Not only will you'll improve your chances of passing, you'll also learn defensive driving techniques, which may just save your life someday.

What is an Insurance Policy?

We're talking about insurance policies a lot here, but never discussed its true nature. Here is an article by Dr Edmund Chow that explains this.

How an Auto Insurance Policy Works

As the name suggests, insurance for vehicles is known as auto insurance. This is a method of providing financial support against any physical damage to the vehicle resulting from road accidents. Additional terms for insurance might vary from one region to another. In some countries, it is obligatory to have insurance as soon as the vehicle is bought. Financial protections against theft or loss of the vehicle might be offered additionally depending on the legal regulations of a country. In case of a new driver insurance could be a bit expensive as there is a chance that claims from new drivers might be high. People who are driving other owner's vehicles may opt for insurance policies such as the 'pay as you go'.

Auto insurance also means financial aid for replacement of vehicle parts that have worn due to wear and tear over a period of time. Applying for insurance has become very easy during these days of advanced technology. Almost every country has government and private insurance companies with online application facility. Customers can either contact the insurance company directly or fill out an online form. In both cases, it is vital to read the terms and conditions page thoroughly and choose the plan accordingly. The process will be complete only when the application is moved forward by a representative from the insurance company.

In some countries, auto insurance is free for a year from the date of purchase of a vehicle. This is because the vehicle dealers have links with the auto insurance companies where the premium of the insurance is included in the price of the vehicle. This is a hassle free process for the customer. The car dealers decide the premium on insurance keeping some factors in mind and this increase proportionately according to the price of the vehicle.

Every vehicle such as two wheelers, private cars and trucks parked on public places must have auto insurance and this is not inclusive of any electrical damage to the vehicle. Documents such as the vehicle registration copy, policy papers, driving license and a Fir copy is submitted for insurance. Some insurance companies might not offer compensation for substantial loss of the vehicle outside the geographical area that the company covers. In case of a mechanical breakdown, the vehicle owner has to bear charges according to some auto insurance policies.

Auto insurance relates to the vehicle and its driver and this varies from person to person. Insurance for women is cheaper than men in some countries. Many a times, vehicle owners might not get insurance for a number of reasons. If accidents occur due to the driver's carelessness and downgrading of the vehicle due to climatic factors, insurance will not be achieved. Different insurance companies have several different plans to suit the customer's needs and one has to choose the policies wisely before reaching to any conclusion. Customers can benefit from the online facility some auto insurance companies' offer which has clear step by step explanations of the different services and the application process.

Another Set of Exam Tips

February, the month with fewest posts in the year, is here, and to start it well, here is an article with some tips to get you started.

Driver's Exam Tips - How Can You Get Started With Your Driving Practice?

Are you going to take your road test soon? Do you want to get your driver's license? You'll need to practice for at least an hour a day. You need to feel comfortable behind the wheel. You must practice with an individual who can provide you with the information you need to be a good driver.

The DMV guidebook doesn't provide you with the details and secrets you need for passing the road test - only the written test. Fortunately, you can find the resources you need for getting your driver's license online: videos, secrets, checklists, etc.

Here are some tips to help you get started with your practice:

- Before you begin driving, adjust the driver's seat and mirrors. You should sit in the driver's seat correctly. Put your seatbelt on and make sure everyone else in the vehicle has their seatbelts on.

- Do a safety routine every day before you start your practice driving. Check the inside and outside the vehicle. Everything should be working correctly. Even if you think that everything's in working order, you still don't want to take any chances.

- Never put too much focus on one thing. Your eyes should be scanning everything around you. Put an equal amount of focus what other drivers are doing as well as what you are doing. Beginners have the habit of staring at their hands on the wheel. You'll have to get out of this habit if you want to pass. If you know what is going on around you, you won't taken by surprise if another driver makes a mistake.

- Speaking of keeping an eye on other drivers, you must always anticipate them making a mistake. Always prepare yourself to make a defensive move. DON'T make the move unless you have to, but prepare for it all the same.

- Never get too close to the vehicle in front of you - especially if it's a large truck. Try to keep a four-second distance between you and the vehicle in front of you as often as you can. If they're going below the speed limit, wait until it's safe to pass them up. DO NOT get too close to them.

- Don't ever get in a hurry and speed. If you go too fast, you will be at risk for getting a ticket or WORSE. In case of an emergency, try to stay as close to the speed limit as possible. You don't want to end up in an accident yourself because you were going too fast. You especially don't want to go beyond the speed limit during your driving test.

As long as you keep these guidelines in mind, you should be able to prepare for your driving test without any problems.

There are more driving tips you can read online if you really want to pass your driver's exam. You need to learn as much as you can before the big day if you want to pass. Check out some more driving secrets, guides, videos, and more.

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.
