Parking in reverse is a very important skill, and it becomes very hard with a large vehicle. Today, the last day of January, we have the chance to laugh at someone who has some real trouble parking.
May we all have a great February!

Saving Money on Insurance
Insurance, as everyone knows, is not cheap. However, Kent Odonnell knows a way to cut the price while maintaining good coverage.
How to Save Money on Car Insurance
In spite of the state of the economy one expense that drivers these days can't cut from their monthly budget is auto insurance. The good news is that thanks to the wide variety of leading car insurance companies in this day and age, drivers no longer have to be stuck with paying for expensive full coverage auto insurance plans. Every driver has the opportunity to choose a cheap auto insurance plan or a more affordable full coverage auto insurance.
How Much Car Insurance Do You Need?
The first step to finding a more affordable car insurance policy is determining how much auto insurance you really need. For example, most people who lease or purchase new vehicles are required to have full coverage policies but after the car is five years old or older those full coverage policies are no longer necessary. Before switching to a more affordable auto insurance policy, make sure that you verify how much automobile insurance you're required by law to have in your state because, the amount of insurance does vary from state to state and you can face a ticket and heavy fines if you're found to be under-insured.
Saving Money Is Easy
Before choosing just any vehicle insurance policy, there are several key things that you can do:
1. Ask for a bundle rate - If the insurance company offers other forms of insurance like life, disaster or home owners insurance make sure that you ask for a special bundle rate for choosing more than one policy with the same company.
2. Drive your car less per year - Even though you might not like the idea of driving less this is the best way to save money on car insurance.
3. Stay a good driver - It's true that a good drivers discount does pay off. If you want to continue saving money on your vehicle insurance, set a priority to stay a safe driver and you will be able to continue enjoying that savings.
4. Be a good student - one of the best ways to get an affordable car insurance policy for a student is to have good grades.
5. Move to a safe neighborhood - Most auto insurance policies charge their customers more based on where they live. If you're able to move to a safer neighborhood, you can enjoy a significant savings every year.
How to Find the Right Car Insurance Company
You should get at least five quotes to get a good comparison of the best rates that are available for you on the internet. Before signing up with a new automobile insurance company make sure that they have a solid history of paying accident claims and that their coverage is good nationwide.

Parallel Perfection
In the last month I discovered something interesting about myself: I can do parallel parking well only when I'm alone. When there are other passengers with me, I often park far away from the curb, which requires me to start again.
From what I've seen, I'm not the only one with this problem, and the only solution is some practice. I don't drive much with others, so I guess I'll have to keep practicing only when I can.
Did it ever happen to you?

Stay Calm and Focused
It's Friday once again, which means it's time for another article full of great tips for passing the driving test. This time it's about staying calm and focused.
Driving Test Tips – How to Stay Calm and Focused During Your Driver’s Test
In order to pass your driver's test, you need to be in the right mindset. You need to stay calm and focused. Letting your nerves get the best of you will cause you to fail. Sure, most beginner drivers feel nervous when they take their driving test, but only those who can keep their nerves in check will be able to pass.
The best way to stay calm is to get plenty of practice. Learn how to drive safely and properly. Practice on the testing routes before you take the test.
Here are some tips on how to have the right mindset:
• Think positive! Instead of thinking "what am I going to do to mess up? What mistakes am I going to make? How will I screw up?" Thinking something along the lines of "What mistakes can I AVOID making? What do I need to do in order to pass?"
• While it's important to stay positive, you don't want to be overly confident. Don't be so confident to the point where you are arrogant. Some student drivers think they are the best drivers in the world. They are so overly confident that they neglect the little things and make mistakes.
• Take some practice tests before the big day. You will feel confident when you pass. If you miss any questions, check the answers. Find out why you missed those questions and make improvements where necessary.
• Don't like to feel pressure? Don't tell anybody that you are about to take your test! If you tell all of your friends, you will feel pressured to pass. You may end up putting more focus on impressing your friends than on passing for the sake of passing.
• Visualize yourself passing. Before the test, take some deep breaths and close your eyes. Imaging yourself on the test route, making all of the correct moves. Visualize the vehicle and imagine yourself sitting in the driver's seat. Go through the entire testing process in your mind. Think of how happy you will be when you are told that you passed!
• While the driving test is something you should take seriously, you shouldn't view it as a life or death matter. There's no limit on the number of times you can take it. It won't be the end of the world if you fail. Just try again and again until you pass! Focus more on the test process itself more so than whether or not you pass.
If you keep these tips in mind, you should be in the right mindset for your driving test. You won't feel as nervous on the big day.
Read some more online driving secrets so that your test goes smoothly! Online driving courses will provide you with the knowledge you need to pass the road exam. Just check out some driving test guides, practice quizzes, videos, and other 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.
I hope it helpd you,

First Time Driving: Jessica
This blog exists almost four years, and we never had a single Jessica here to be a first time driver. Today we're going to have our first one.
This video is from December 2011, so Jessica still has a very long time until she gets her license. Hopefully by then she'll know which pedal is the brake.
Good luck!
