First Time Driving: Bekah

Today's first time driver is Bekah who's having a hard time with turning and the wipers.

This video is from the end of October, so Bekah still has a long way to go until she can get her license. She does pretty well here, so I think she'll be fine.

Good luck!

Beaurocracy and English

Sometimes laws can become a weapon against the innocent. For example, this BC senior who was denied a driver's license because of her bad English skills.

Is it right? Tell me what you think.

Insurance Policy Basics

When you get an auto insurance policy, there are some basics you should pay attention to. Here is an article by Vinay Khanna about those basics.

What Are Basics in Auto Insurance Policies?

Selection of an auto insurance policy that covers all the needs of yourself and other family members is very important. You should know the basics of auto insurance to choose the right policy with adequate coverages.

Auto Insurance

Auto insurance is a protection if you are the cause of injuries to others in an auto accident or you damage the property of others. The auto insurance also offers protection of there is a theft of your car or the car gets damaged in an accident. You would have to pay a fixed amount every month for the auto insurance coverage, which is termed as premium or deductible by the insurance companies. The terms of the car insurance policy would decide which aspects the insurance company would cover or would not cover.

What are Standard Auto Insurance Coverages?

Each state in the United States of America has its own minimum limits on car insurance coverage. You have to find out the law of your state to obtain the correct minimum coverages. For example, in the state of Idaho, the minimum coverage is $25,000 for injury or death of one person, $50,000 for injury or death to more than a single person, and $15,000 for property damage. These three coverage limits are compulsory in Idaho for all drivers when they buy a car insurance policy. You should carry the proof of having a valid car insurance whenever you drive. If the authorities are not able to obtain proof of insurance when you are driving, the fine for first offense would be $75. Subsequent convictions could result in fine up to $1,000 and/or prison sentence.

Other Types of Car Insurance Coverages

Apart from the above basic minimum coverage limits, it is advisable to have a few other coverages also for complete protection of yourself, your family members, and your vehicle, if an accident occurs. The most common coverages are collision coverage, comprehensive coverage, medical payments coverage, and uninsured or underinsured motorist injury coverage.

Collision coverage would offer protection for the damage to your vehicle if you hit another car or object. Comprehensive coverage would pay for damages to your car by causes like fire, hurricanes, vandalism, and theft of your car. Medical payments coverage would provide cover to you, your family members, and the passengers in your car, if an auto accident occurs. You could receive reimbursement of medical expenses incurred for injuries due to that accident. You would receive coverage for medical treatment even if you get hit by another vehicle as a pedestrian.

The uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage would help you if the other driver involved in the accident does not have insurance coverage or if the coverage of that driver is inadequate. All these coverages would result in your paying extra deductibles for each type of coverage based on the coverage amounts.

When you opt for Idaho auto insurance, you should consider not only the statutory minimum coverage limits of the state but also purchase additional coverages for complete protection.

The Opposite Way

Last week I was driving around, and I saw something incredible: a woman was driving on my side of the road. The area had a separated road with very clear arrows pointing to the right direction, but she chose the left lane instead of the right and drove on what's clearly the wrong side.

Fortunately, she discovered her mistake and started backing up while other drivers also noticed her, so no one was harmed, maybe except her self esteem.

Hopefully people will know how to drive tomorrow.

Tips That Will Make You a Better Driver

November starts today, and there is no better way to start a new month other than some great tips that will help you become a better driver.

Driver's Test Tips on What to Do in Order to Prove That You Are a Good Driver

There are many things you can do to prove yourself a good driver. If you want to pass your driving test, that's exactly what you'll have to do. You might be nervous, but if you can prove to the examiner that you know how to drive safely, then you will get your driver's license.

To help you get started, you will find some helpful resources online such as videos, maps, guides, checklists, etc.

You are going to have to not only learn various skills and maneuvers; you will have to perfect them.

Here are some of the things you are going to have to do:

· Practice steering properly. If you don't know how to steer, you won't be able to drive efficiently. You could also put yourself and your passengers in danger. Remember to place both hands in the correct positions firmly. Do not grip the wheel too tightly. Do not hold onto it loosely. Steering properly shows that you are comfortable behind the wheel.

· Learn how to turn correctly. Always remember to look both ways before making a turn. Don't rush through the process. At the same time, don't hesitate if you have the right to turn.

· You are going to have to signal properly. If you don't, you will lose points. You need to know exactly when to signal and which signal to use. Make it a habit. Signal even if you are the only driver on the road.

· You'll undoubtedly come across signs when you are taking the test. You'll need to follow them all correctly in order to pass. This is why you should go over written material before you practice driving. Look at pictures of road signs and learn what they mean. Familiarize yourself with the signs posted on the roads and streets you'll be tested on.

· Speaking of signs, know what the posted speed limit is at all times. You might have to go slower than the posted speed limit, depending on road and weather conditions. However, never go over it.

· You'll need to prove that you can park if you want to get your driver's license. Practice parallel parking and curb parking. You'll need to know how to pull into a parking spot safely. Be careful not to bump anything, whether it's another car or the curb.

On the day of the test, try to stay as calm as you possibly can. Make sure you have all of the documents you'll need ready to go the day of the test. You might also want to get the vehicle inspected to make absolutely sure there's nothing wrong with it before you are tested in it.

Take a look at some online driving test guides if you want to pass easily. You can get a passing score as long as you take the time to study every day. All you need is a good comprehensive guide that explains all the steps you need to take. You'll find all of the resources you'll need to help you learn skills such as parallel parking, driving in reverse, making turns, merging into traffic, and so forth.

I hope these tips will help you pass on November.
