We all know that texting while driving is a dangerous. But were you aware that reaching for that falling cup or reaching for that napkin can drastically increase your crash risk. There are a variety of things that could distract you from driving safely.
Do you Drive While Distracted?
Sometimes, we are all guilty of distracted driving. There are times where we look away from the road for five seconds- long enough for a child to chase a his ball in front of your car, or a dog to pop in your path. Even changing the radio station, popping in a CD, or choosing a new tune on your iPod can make you take your eyes off the road long enough for mistakes to happen.
These are just a series of possible distractions you can be faced with while driving. How many times have you driven past someone reading a book while driving? Or putting on makeup? Or shaving? While you may never commit any of these driving "no-no's", ...

Shopping for auto insurance? There are a few things you should know…
- Increase your deductable. Raising the amount you pay when you file a claim before your insurance company will decrease your annual insurance costs.
- Revisit your insurance options. You have an older auto- do you really need collision or comprehensive coverage? If the amount you pay for your insurance is more than the worth of your car- consider just sticking to liability coverage

The Connecticut Insurance Department recently announced that is has gained over $519,629 from insurance companies for consumers in the first quarter of 2009. The money was recovered from 304 complaints about claims, or other issues. Accident and health insurance complaints made up 40% of the total number of complaints and accounted for $215,350- a large portion of the total. Auto insurance complaints also raked in a whopping $86,593.
No matter how you slice it, the claims process is typically a rough one for both insurance companies and consumers. When you file a claim, it can take months- even years to get the monetary retribution that you thought your insurance entitles you to. And sometimes, after talked to a million people, and filing a ton of paperwork, the carrier you thought you trusted can deny your claim, making all your hard work mean nothing. Health and auto insurance claims can be particularly difficult. Because there can be an array of loopholes in your policy a ...

You are finally done. Four years of classes, studying, parties, and roommates are coming to a close as you prepare to graduate and enter the "real world". Receiving your diploma will mean that you are now as prepared as you can be to start the rest of your life. Or are you? In addition to getting a job, and living on your own, you should take another look at what you pay for car insurance- and how to get a cheaper rate.
There are a number of things car insurance can do to help you through the post-graduation years. Although you are legally required to have auto insurance, it would be a great thing to have even if the law didn't require it. Liability insurance that protects you from property damage and bodily injury is state-mandated. Liability insurance covers you if you damage a car, person, or property. Different types of car insurance can also be purchased to cover you if you are involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
