There will be people who will have their blinkers on for several miles. There will be drivers who will overtake your vehicle, then slow down, and go fast, and slow down again. Drivers like these are really aggravating. Instinct will tell you that you want to let them know what is in your mind (or sometimes your hand). Before you do anything, think twice, not that they will do anything but they can be dangerous.

Telephone Game

What can be more dangerous on the road than someone busy chatting over the cellphone or even worse texting someone. As much as you are tempted to go fast and pass them, the recommended move will be to keep your distance. A big percentage of accidents on the road are due to drivers distracted in one form or another.

Late Blinker

You are about to take a right turn but decided to wait since a car is cruising down the road. You wait for a while. And waited for a bit more just to find out that when he is just about to turn, he flicks on his signal light and turns on the same street you are going to. If this happened to you most of the time, then you are making the right decision of waiting and respecting right of way.

Green for Go

You might be wondering why there are people who respond to the green light really slow. Maybe the driver in front of you is distracted and all you can do is wait. Before you decide to zip around the vehicle and go on a feat of road rage, think twice. Give the driver a benefit of the doubt that maybe someone is blocking his way or someone might be crossing the road. What you can do is tap your horn a bit and wait if he will respond and go.

Big Cars and Ice

Some drivers of big vehicles just don’t get it. Their tires will still slip on ice and their 4×4 cannot do anything about it. If you see them going really fast on an icy road, keep your distance.

Always play safe. Be safe.

So I thought I would let the masses benefit from my dumb buttedness, if you will.

In researching AAA, I have learned that they offer a lot more than free towing, battery assistance, and the ability to get you out of trouble when you lock your fool keys in the car and don’t have a spare.

AAA offers benefits like shopping discounts, driver’s training for teens and other new drivers, even prescription medication programs.

Who can say no to that?

Selling a car in this day and age is not easy – in fact, it is extremely difficult more of the time, however there are some tips and tricks that you can implement that will help improve your car and certainly assist you with ensuring that your car goes up for sale.

One thing that you need to make sure that you do is ensure your car is clean.  This is one of those things that are very, very important, as you want to make sure that any potential buyers looking at the car, see it is clean.  This might involve you taking it to a detailer, as that is one surefire way to make sure that it is absolutely clean.

Next, you want to make sure that you do some work on it and replace all of the fluids in it.  This is a great thing to put on the sign too, that you kept it up and that it is in fantastic working order.  More in the next blog!

There are many different ways that you can find a good car insurance premium, even after you have been in an accident; you just have to look it up.  There are some very common discounts out there and even some car insurance companies that offer up accident forgiveness, which means that you car insurance rate will not go up just because of an accident.

Finding one of these car insurance companies is probably the best way to ensure that your car insurance premium does not go up.

They will do whatever they can to get it. They will put the most ridiculous commercials on TV to lure you into their clutches. They will entice you with the wiles of a gecko who speaks in a charming cockney British accent. They will accuse you of being no smarter than a caveman. They will take the serious, solemn approach by making you think your children will die in car accidents if you do not go with their insurance companies. They are good neighbors. They are on your side. They will give you a better life.

Do not believe in this marketing hype. Look to the details; check out the fine print; compare shop.

• Age: below 25, out of luck; ages 50-65, safest drivers ever.
• Gender: sorry boys, the ladies are considered safer than you are.  But we’re not gloating (much).
• Marital status: single suckers, married drivers pay less for their rates.
• Location: traffic congested suburbs and/or high crime areas, out of luck; low traffic, low crime areas for the win!
• Driving violations: just hang it up for the next five years or so, or else DRIVE SAFER!
• Type of vehicle: go ahead and drool over that gorgeous old Jag, but at the same time be happy, because your ‘97 Grand Am costs way less to insure.
• Credit rating: poor credit or no credit, start taking the bus.
• Education: you are not too cool for school, rack up all the student loans you can, because you’ll be paying less for insurance.

One of the first steps that you need to do is make sure that you know exactly what you policy says.  Before anything else is done, you want to just take a peek at your policy and ensure exactly how the payment structure works.

Next, make sure that you contact your insurance provider.  Every car insurance broker actually will have to follow a lot of different steps to cancel a policy, so keep that in mind.

While I am guilty of texting while I am driving too, many, many states are actually banning any use of cell phones while you are driving.  To me – I am not sure if I like that, but I can understand the texting portion of it, as that is something that takes concentration.

If you are an avid texter and you have been texting while driving, just know that you are not only at risk, but you could get a ticket for it.

Personally, I think that driving in the snow is one of the most stressful things in the world.  Not only do you have to deal with people not paying attention but you really have to make sure that you are focused on exactly where your car might be turning or fishtailing.  There is a way though that you can drive safely in your car in the snow – and that is what we are going to talk about.

Driving in the snow is all about how well you pay attention.  To be perfectly honest, one of the main things that you have to remember whenever you are driving around in the snow is that you need to pay attention.

What this means is that you need to limit or eliminate all of the distractions in your car – which I can promise you have a lot of them in there.

First and foremost, you need to make sure that you have some of kind of car alarm on your car, as that is certainly going to help you in the long run preventing your car from getting taken.  Stolen cars, while sometimes they are found they are usually just driven to the chop shop and chopped up.

Another idea is to make sure that you close all of your car windows as well as your sunroof whenever you are out of the car – this will prevent people from trying to get into your car, as it is not the easiest to get into.
