Traffic laws across 50 states

It happens to the best of us. And by the best of us, I mean me. I was driving to Rochester, NY, to visit a friend. I called him to clarify a few of his directions—he said, turn left at the abandoned factory, but I wasn’t prepared for the industrial wasteland that is New York State. I was on the phone for maybe two minutes, just long enough for a parked state trooper to spot me. When his lights came on, I looked at my speedometer. I was going the speed limit, exactly. I said to my friend: “I’m getting… |

When do you need commercial car insurance?
|
Many jobs out there require employees to spend some time behind the wheel even beyond the minutes or hours they spend getting to and from the office. Some employers outfit workers with corporate cars complete with corporate auto insurance policies. For everyone else, deciding how to balance personal auto insurance with employer driving demand can be tricky. It all depends on how much you drive and in what capacity. If your employer occasionally asks you to run an errand to the local office supply store, personal insurance is probably sufficient. But if you spend hours a day racking up the… |

Sometimes, it doesn't matter that it's not your fault
|
At least two cities in Virginia have recently claimed sovereign immunity to avoid paying for accidents caused by city vehicles. Most recently Norfolk, Va., refused to pay for damages caused to Sean Anderson’s 2007 Toyota Camry after a city trash truck’s mechanical arm malfunctioned and crushed the rear of his car, according to The Virginian-Pilot, which reported the incident on Aug. 24. Anderson told the newspaper he was initially assured by Norfolk city officials that the city would pay the $2,800 in damages done to the car. But after five weeks, the city informed him that it would not pay… |

Insuring a fleet of vehicles
|
It’s not easy to find auto insurance for a small fleet of vehicles. There is insurance to cover the individual and insurance to cover big corporations, but just a handful of agents who can help small-time wholesale dealers insure their inventory. Some dealers who are just starting out, especially those who don’t have dealer licenses yet, may opt not to get special dealer insurance at all. Many have kept individual insurance on one car and hoped it would work for a number of others. Individuals have 30 days to let their insurers know they have changed cars. “That’s a pretty… |

If you have a teen going off to college soon, you know that there are countless things you have to take care of before they make the move into their dorm, and multiple finances to juggle, including tuition, books, and lodging for the next year.

It’s not just a union of hearts, but a great way to save on car insurance, too!
|
Couples who are married, getting married or in long-term domestic partnerships may be missing a great opportunity to reduce their car insurance premium rates by not combining policies. Insurance companies offer these discounts for numerous reasons, but topping the list is that people in stable long-term relationships tend to be safer drivers, therefore insurers feel comfortable that they’re less likely to get into accident. State Farm also noted that consolidating policies simplifies the billing process and could lead to additional savings. If you have two cars between the two of you, bringing them together under one policy or bundling them… |

|
Even former gangster pimp Ice-T, “Cop Killer” rapper, and now gruff cop on TV’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” knows the value of having car insurance.

When the cop checked Ice-T’s license and insurance records, he allegedly found that Ice-T’s license… |

Is VIN etching worth it?
|
Every car has a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that distinguishes it from other cars on the road. Often, the VIN is useful in locating stolen cars. With new vehicles, you can have the option of getting the VIN etched onto the windows and windshields of the car, so that in the event of theft, your car could be tracked down even if the other VIN numbers have been filed off, and there would be a higher likelihood of catching the culprits. Additionally, thieves that specialize in selling windows and windshields are deterred, since a window clearly marked with a… |
