When should you do the senior driving safety course? Due to advancements in science and technology, Americans are living longer and healthier lives than ever before. According to a report compiled by the American Medical Association in collaboration with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration by 2030, the population of people over the age of 65 would have doubled, and 20% of the US population will be composed of people in this age bracket. Age has truly been reduced to a mere number and does not necessarily prevent people from living full, active and independent lives. This however, does not mean that the reflexes, vision, and mobility of a 30 year old will be the same as those of a 75 year old. And while we have been able to control and diminish the manifestations of Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes and other illnesses prevalent among the elderly, we have not been able to eradicate them altogether, which means that besides the inevitable frailty and physical lull tha

How to Rate Auto Insurance Companies With the economy in shambles, many people find themselves struggling with finances and in an attempt to save money sign up for the cheapest auto insurance quote they can find online. But purchasing auto insurance solely on the basis of the initial rates quoted by auto insurance companies can turn out to be a bad decision, one that entirely defeats the purpose of getting insurance in the first place, and one that may put you in the worst possible financial crisis. Unless you pick auto insurance companies on the basis of their reliability, financial stability and customer reviews and complaints, chances are that you will find yourself stuck with an insurance provider that does not have the means or inclination to respond to your claims the way you need. Moreover, the initial quote being low is no guarantee that your insurance rates will remain the same. Reputed, well ranked auto insurance companies, on the other hand, have a reputation to maintain

Auto Insurance Mistakes You Should Avoid Given the state of the economy, rising gas prices and the widespread struggle to make ends meet, auto insurance is not a priority for most people. Since it is illegal to drive without insurance in most states in the USA, a common tendency is to pick the cheapest possible quote available, irrespective of the reputation of the insurance company, and purchase just enough coverage to meet the state mandate. Years of paying for auto insurance without receiving any kind of remuneration whatsoever can be extremely frustrating and lead people to believe that it is a complete waste of their hard-earned money. Understandable as it is, getting insufficient coverage or opting for an unreliable provider are insurance mistakes you may regret for the rest of your life, because a split second is all it takes for an accident to occur, for damages to life and property to take place, and if you do not have adequate auto insurance coverage through a reliable and

New teen drivers: Essentials while handing them the car keys The first few years that kids grow up and start driving, are perhaps the most anxious moments in their parents’ lives. Not only are new teen drivers restless and impulsive, they also lack the experience and expertise to be on the roads. This makes them prone to higher risk and high auto insurance rates. Though teenagers aren’t exactly open to easy dialogues, effective communication is the key to keeping your new teen driver out of danger. They have to be made to understand that not only are they responsible for their lives and those of others on the roads but also for your car. These are some essential points that you should discuss with your new teen driver when you hand them their car keys: 1. While it’s cool to hang out with their friends, distracted driving is a strict no-no; which means no using the cell phone while driving, or applying makeup, or sipping on that steaming hot cappuccino! Distracted driving is one o

Know your facts while shopping for auto insurance Though most people treat buying auto insurance as a tedious chore, there’s no idea buying auto insurance if you cannot get the full benefit of it when you need it most. Here’s a list of often missed facts that you ought to know before you start shopping for auto insurance. Bluebook Value of your car: when you file a claim of your car, the blue book value is taken into account. Bluebook value is simply an appraisal of how much a similar car (make and model) with cost in your area. Insurance companies use this as a reference point to settle your claims fairly when your car is totaled. Often people want their insurance companies to reimburse them for the price they bought their car at, while insurance companies take into account wear and tear and depreciation of the auto over the years. Make sure you know the blue book value of your car when shopping for auto insurance. Car parts OEM and aftermarket – Some companies pay body shops t

What to do right after an auto accident An auto accident is an event you can never prepare enough for, yet for most people, driving on the roads is one of the riskiest things they ever do in their lives. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 34000 people were killed in more than 5. 8 million crashes in 2009* (*estimated data). Here’s a list of what to do after an auto accident to make the situation for yourself and others around you easier. Assess the situation- Though it’s natural to panic, get angry, feel guilty or get into a state of shock right after an auto accident, try to remain as calm as possible by taking deep breaths. If your car is blocking the road, move it to a side (in some states moving a vehicle from the scene of accident might be illegal till investigations are over, so it’s good to read up your state law over this); if you or your passengers are stranded in the car, switch on your hazard lights and call 911 right away.

Prevent Auto Theft Just when you have finally been able to buy that long awaited car it gets stolen, leaving you not only with a huge property loss, but also with the balance payments to be settled. Farfetched as this may sound, the fact remains that there is an incident of auto theft almost every 40 seconds in the US!As per the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) 794,616 vehicles were stolen in 2009 causing losses of almost $5. 2 billion. Of these, only 12. 4 percent could be cleared. Not surprisingly, TX and CA reported the largest number of cases of auto theft. The biggest misconception about auto theft is that thieves steal only new cars, so if you have an old one, you are safe. Thieves look for practicality and not necessarily luxury. Used cars, so many of them more than 10 years old, are mostly stolen for their parts, and can help make money faster, with lesser chances of being traced. While auto theft is not completely preventable, there are simple common sense measure
