Is Behavior Based insurance the wave of the future?

Pay-as-you-go auto insurance is breaking through globally, starting in the United Kingdom. This behavior based insurance works by insurance companies using telematics devices to measure various consumer behaviors while driving. This helps the insurance company to properly gauge insurance rates for its clients.

This type of insurance is a really cool phenomenon. Being held accountable for everyday actions while driving will inevitably make the roads safer. It's so easy to lose track of how fast you go when you don't have a constant reminder to be mindful. These devices also provide safer driving tips to the individuals who on the car.

This new technology seems like it will be popular and hopefully will be available to the US in the near future.

How to change your own tire

Nothing puts the damper on a road trip like a flat tire. Many of you out there have AAA or some form of roadside assistance, but what happens if your stuck on the side of the road with no cell reception? Unfortunately these scenarios don't just happen in horror flicks. But never fear, we're here to teach you a few easy steps to change your own tire.

First, pull safely off the side of the road, giving your call every sign of distress. Put your car in park, preferably with the emergency brake on and put on your hazard lights. Make it obvious you are there to give yourself the most amount of safety precautions. Next, get out all the tools and spare tire from car. If you do not have emergency tools or a spare tire, invest in that ASAP!!! The most basic tools you need are lug nut wrench and a jack. Remove the hub cap and loosen lug nuts without actually removing them. Jack up your car far enough off the ground so that the fully inflated tire can replace the old flat one.

Now comes the actual change. Remove the lug nuts and flat tire and place the spare tire in alignment with the holes with the air valve facing you. Secure the flat tire with the lug nuts and replace the hub cap. Lower the vehicle with the jack.

Now that wasn't so bad was it??

Night Driving Made Safe

Now that daylight savings has taken effect we are all driving in the dark just a tad bit more. Some say they would rather drive at night, but that can be more dangerous. Traffic fatalities are actually 3 times higher at night due to several different obstacles not faced during daytime driving.

Humans are not built with night vision, therefore we need to rely on technology to be able to see in the dark. Unfortunately, technology fails us sometimes so we need to be vigilant and ensure that headlights are all working properly. As a courtesy to other drivers, make sure that your head lights are not too bright and turned on before its pitch black in those hours that the sun is setting. To avoid glare keep internal lights off and dash lights dim.

Do not be a deer in headlights! Instead of looking directly into the headlights of an oncoming vehicles look a little bit to the side to avoid seeing spots and getting distracted. Depth perception is a little bit off at night, so make sure that you leave an even bigger distance between you and the car in front of you than you would during the day.

We can all be creatures of the night if we just follow a few extra safety guidelines. For more information on night time driving safety, please visit: http://www.roadandtravel.com/safetyandsecurity/safenightdrivingtips.htm

Why you should keep tires well maintained

If you do not wear shoes that fit correctly, aren't weather appropriate, or falling apart, your feet would not be very happy with you. Can you imagine how your car feels when it's tires are not well maintained? Think about it. How can your car properly cruise you around town safely when the parts that come in contact with the road the most are not taken care of? Talk about a blister for your car.

Besides the obvious safety benefits for you and your family, keeping up with your tires is healthy for the function and life of your car.

One of the main causes of tire failure is under inflation, which can easily go unnoticed by the naked eye. All you need to do to prevent this is regularly check the air pressure in your tires. Check regularly for objects that may have gotten stuck in your tire as a result of driving through debris.

Buying a Repossessed Vehicle May Be the Right Move for You!

With today's economy it is not so uncommon to find repossessed vehicles. If you are not a victim of having your vehicle repossessed, this could be good new for you!

Repossessed vehicles have the potential to be a great deal as long as you do your research first. Make sure that the vehicle in question is in good shape, because some repossessed vehicles were not taken care quite like they should have been.

Be aware that there are 3 ways to purchase repossessed vehicles: by auction, dealer, or lender.

Auctions are the most common ways to purchase repossessed vehicles. The main thing you should be aware of is to ensure that the auctioneer actually has the title of the vehicle before any transactions are made. Buying from a dealer can be simple and easy if you find a dealer that specializes in repossessed vehicles - this just requires some research prior to shopping. Buying from a lender such as a bank can be a great way to get your repossessed vehicle as well.
