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.

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.

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!

Happy Thanksgiving!
