 Image by Open Clipart-Vectors from Pixabay It’s that time of year again…time when the kids are going back to school. And time when many young drivers will be out on the road, driving to class or extra-curricular activities. Perhaps even an after-school job. As adults, we’re used to road rules and know where everything is in our vehicles should we need to access them quickly. But our teenage and young-adult children aren’t. So, we’ve compiled a short list of things to do and check to provide a safe and confident environment for inexperienced drivers.  Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay Earlier this year we did a post on Three Things young people should take care of to help life in the ‘real’ world be less stressful. Today we’re discussing why it is important to list your teenage driver on your auto policy as soon as they get a permit.  Many times in the Insurance Industry, we hear the term “SR-22 Insurance.” However, SR-22 is not a type of insurance. Want to know more? Read on.....  The lure of the open road, wind in your hair and on your face. Your view unimpeded by glass and metal, body unencumbered by safety belts. The option of huge savings on gasoline, oil, tires and upkeep.
These are a few reasons why people choose to purchase a motorcycle.  We keep seeing commercials about how you can turn your personal automobile into a part-time career as a Lyft or Uber driver. Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Everyone likes the idea of making a few extra bucks on their “off” time, but here are some Insurance Facts you need to know before you decide to venture into this type of business.  While interviewing a potential client and his current automobile policy, I realized many people have no idea the number of discounts available to them.
A misconception on the percentage of savings insurance companies advertise is that this discount is not based on your current rate or company (how would they know?), but on their own flat, standard rate. That said, let’s look at some discounts available on your auto policy….  If you believe everything you hear or half of what you read, today’s youth (Gen X and Millennials) are some of the most irresponsible youngsters to hit the economic market since the dawn of mankind.
Okay, maybe they’re not that bad.  Insurance companies always seem to get a bad rap when it comes to rates, but did you know that statistics show 12.6% of Louisiana drivers do not have automobile insurance?
Nine times out of ten, these are the same people who jump on the law suit wagon, demanding to be compensated for their bodily injuries and property damages to their vehicle. |
