Increase in Uninsured California Drivers
SACRAMENTO, CA — The economic downturn may have pushed the number of uninsured drivers on the road to an all-time high. Experts said the number of those drivers had increased to an alarming rate.
According to the study conducted by the Insurance Research Council, California ranks 7th in the country on the list of the most uninsured drivers, with a whopping 18 percent of drivers hitting the roads uninsured. That breaks down to about one in five California drivers. The data was based on 2007 numbers, the most recent data available.
New Mexico ranked the highest in the study conducted by the Insurance Research Council. Of that state’s drivers, a whopping 29 percent were uninsured.
The national uninsured motorist rate was 13.8 percent, and due to rising unemployment trends, the number was expected to rise to 16.1 percent by 2010. Fix your lack of insurance or add uninsured motorist coverage by getting cheap car insurance here.

Humorous Online Course Helps Curb Auto Insurance Rates
New Yorkers looking to lower their auto insurance rates may now have something worth laughing about.
A new online defensive driver education course uses humor to help teach important vehicle safety skills. It can be completed entirely on a computer without ever having to visit a third party or take a final exam. Drivers who finish the course will receive a mandatory 10 percent three-year insurance discount and qualify for a four-point reduction on their driving record. With the average auto insurance premium in the state now at $2,456, that could add up to $737 in savings.

Cash For Clunkers – We Say Scrap It!
Late last week Congress passed an automotive stimulus bill better known as “Cash For Clunkers.” The bill essentially provides a voucher to a car owner whose current car gets less than 18mpg.
The car must have been built in 1984 or later. The voucher in turn goes to the car dealer who deducts (for the trade-in) either $3500 from the purchase of a new vehicle or $4500 for a new vehicle depending upon the mpg delta between the trade in car and the new car. ($3500 applies to the purchase of a new vehicle that gets more than 4mpg than the “clunker” whereas $4500 applies to the purchase of a new vehicle that gets more than 10mpg than the “clunker” traded in) SUV’s and light trucks also qualify for the incentive.
DUI Law Changes In Tennessee
The DUI Law in Tennessee will change soon.
Starting July 1, 2009, law enforcement officers will be required to conduct blood alcohol level tests in suspected DUI accidents in which someone other than the suspected impaired driver is seriously hurt or killed. Officers will have to have probable cause to believe a driver was operating a vehicle under the influence.
Dell Russell, Lead Volunteer for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, is all for it. “I think when they have the opportunity and they have to, I think the conviction rate will go up,” said Russell.
Under this new law, if suspected drunk drivers refuse to take the test, they could lose their license for a year, in addition to other charges they would face.
The new law only applies to accidents in which someone other than the driver is hurt. If a driver is stopped on suspicion of DUI or is the only person involved in a crash, he or she will still have the right to refuse a breathalyzer test.
What is an SR-22 form?
SR-22 insurance varies state to state.
The basic definition of an SR-22 form is available on our Insurance Terms page.
SR-22 isn’t a type of insurance, but rather proof that you have certain types of insurance (based upon the financial responsibility laws of your state).
Simply, it is a form which must be filed by the insurance company to the state (Department of Motor Vehicles) stating that auto liability insurance is in effect for a particular individual.

IDOT, Tollway and State Police Warn Drivers to Prepare for Highway Construction Season
New tools this year include increased fines, loss of license and photo enforcement
CHICAGO—The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) joined with the State Police and Illinois Tollway to remind motorists construction season is about to kick in to gear and warn that tough new laws are on the books that target drivers who flout work zone speed limits and endanger the lives of construction workers and other drivers.
“Next week is Work Zone Safety Week and the traditional beginning to highway construction season. We want to send a message to motorists now to slow down in work zones,” IDOT Secretary Timothy W. Martin said. “If you are caught speeding in a work zone, at minimum you will be looking at a fine of $375, at worst, you can kill yourself, a loved one or a worker.”
Under enhanced penalties passed by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Rod Blagojevich last year, first-time work zone speeders, including those caught on camera, will be hit with a fine of $375, with $125 of that sum going to pay off-duty State Troopers to provide added enforcement in construction or maintenance zones. Two-time offenders are subject to a $1,000 fine, including a $250 surcharge to hire Troopers, and the loss of their license for 90 days.
Starting in July, State Troopers will deploy specially equipped vans that can take photographs of drivers speeding in IDOT and Tollway construction and maintenance zones. Tickets will be issued by mail to vehicle owners.
In addition, drivers who hit a worker are subject for up to a $10,000 fine and 14 years in prison.
“Preventing the accidents and injuries caused by crashes occurring in work zones is a significant responsibility for the Illinois State Police,” said ISP Director Larry Trent. “We must protect these workers who ultimately make all of us safer by improving our roadways. Troopers assigned to work zone details will take a zero tolerance approach when issuing citations to speed limit violators. The message is clear — Slow down; we’re serious about workzone safety.”
Gov. Blagojevich has set of goal of reducing traffic deaths to fewer than 1,000 a year by 2008. The work zone speeding crackdown is just one of the ways state transportation and law enforcement are working together to accomplish that goal.
According to provisional data from 2004, 39 people were killed in work zones last year, with two of them being workers. In 2003, 44 people were killed in work zones, with 5 being workers.
“Since the Tollway just launched our $5.3 billion Congestion Relief Plan, drivers will see more work zones on the Tollway than they have in the past. We’re doing our part to ensure construction areas are well marked and that drivers are well informed as they travel through our construction areas,” said Illinois Tollway Executive Director Jack Hartman. “But impatience, speeding and driver inattention are the leading factors in work zone crashes, so we need drivers to slow down and stay alert in work zones for their safety as well as our workers.”
Under the provisions of the Automated Traffic Control Systems in Highway Construction or Maintenance Zones Act of 2004, Illinois State Police were given the authority to use cameras to enforce work zone speed limits in cases where workers are present. It also requires that signs be posted when work zone speed limits are being enforced by camera.
Photo enforcement vans will be equipped with cameras designed to record a clear image of the vehicle and driver, it’s speed, and registration plate. The registered owner will not be liable if someone else is driving the vehicle.
Photo speed enforcement will be taking place at various construction zones around the state, including on the Dan Ryan and Kingery projects and Tollway projects in the Chicago area as well as various downstate projects.
IDOT and Tollway officials stressed the importance of complying with work zone speed limits even when workers are not present because of the dangers posed by features such as narrow lanes, lane jogs, reduced shoulder width, obstructions and drop-offs.
IDOT and Tollway staffers will be conducting an outreach effort directed at members of the driving public on Friday, April 1, at highway rest stops and Tollway oases around the state.
The increased work zone speeding penalties and photo speed enforcement are just two of the recommendations of the Work Zone Safety Task Force assembled by Governor Blagojevich in 2003. Other recommendations of the Task Force, comprised of members from IDOT, Illinois State Police, the Tollway, Federal Highway Administration, labor and industry representatives include:
Better defined work zones—projects on multi-lane highways have signs better identifying the appropriate speed in a particular work zone and also when it is safe to resume normal speed.
Modified driver education curriculum—A compact disc and teaching manuals have been mailed to more than 1,500 high schools and private driver education facilities.
New Signage—A new sign has been developed and is being placed at projects throughout the state publicizing work zone related penalties, “Hit a worker, $10,000 fine, 14 years in jail”.
Enhanced use of stationary and portable changeable message boards in and around work zones.
More consistent looking work zones.
Remote controlled flaggers—IDOT is using federal research funds to test 20 newly developed remote flagger workstations.
“Trooper in a Truck”—allowing state police to covertly enforce speed limits, out-of-uniform and in IDOT trucks.
Trooper Hire-back—$4.7 million has been identified to fund additional troopers in work zones throughout the state. Additional troopers allow state police to deploy work zone details in areas of heightened concern.
Consumers Union Applauds Calif. Rules Barring Zip Code-Based Auto Insurance; CU Urges Other States to Give Drivers Similar Relief
Consumers Union Applauds Calif. Rules Barring Zip Code-Based Auto Insurance; CU Urges Other States to Give Drivers Similar Relief
July 14 Consumers Union hailed the decision today by California to adopt new regulations requiring auto insurers to base their premiums on policyholders’ driving records rather than their zip codes, marital statuses, or other factors. The new rules were adopted by Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi to implement Proposition 103’s requirement that insurers base premiums primarily on one’s driving safety record, annual mileage, and driving experience. The rules received final approval today by the Office of Administrative Law. Consumers Union urged other states to follow suit.
“This is a major victory for consumers that will mean lower premiums for good and low-mileage drivers throughout the state,” said Mark Savage, senior attorney for Consumers Union. “California drivers finally have a chance for a fairer marketplace for auto insurance. We urge other states to adopt these same rules. Driving records, not addresses and other secondary factors, should determine auto insurance premiums.”
In May 2003, Consumers Union and a coalition of consumer and civil-rights organizations petitioned Commissioner Garamendi to strike down a regulation adopted by former Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush in 1996. The Quackenbush regulation allowed insurers to circumvent Proposition 103 by giving far more weight to a driver’s zip code and other criteria in determining premiums.
In the course of Commissioner Garamendi’s three years of public hearings, Consumers Union presented numerous reports documenting that zip code-based rates hurt good drivers throughout the state. Last December, Consumers Union issued a report that showed insurers charge good drivers living in California’s predominantly African-American and Latino zip codes substantially more for automobile insurance than good drivers in predominantly white communities.
After the field hearings were concluded, Garamendi found that zip code-based rates were unfair and that insurers had manipulated their own data calculations to make the claim that rural drivers would see massive premium increases under the proposed regulations. On June 2, 2006, Garamendi adopted regulations requiring California’s insurers to base automobile insurance premiums primarily on how well one drives, not where one lives.
Under the new rules, insurers must file a plan within thirty days to implement at least 15 percent of the reduced weight for zip code and other secondary rating factors. Companies have up to two years to achieve full compliance, but they can implement 100 percent compliance in their first filing in August.
In contrast to other major insurers who continue to protest the new regulations, the Auto Club of Southern California announced earlier this month that it had decided to begin implementing the regulation ahead of schedule. The Auto Club, which is the fourth largest insurer in the state, said that its plan will result in premium decreases for 88 percent of its drivers, totaling $133 million, or an average decrease per driver of $134, or 7 percent. These lower premiums will reach good drivers across the board in urban, suburban, and rural locations.
“The Auto Club’s plan proves that good drivers win when insurance rates are based on driving records and not zip codes,” said Savage. “It’s time for other insurance companies to treat their policyholders fairly and base drivers’ premiums primarily on how well they drive, not where they live, or their gender or marital status.”
The petition to bar auto rates based primarily on zip codes was filed by Consumers Union, Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights, the National Council of La Raza, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles, Spanish Speaking Citizens’ Foundation, Public Advocates, and City Attorney John Russo for Oakland, City Attorney Dennis Herrera for San Francisco, and City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo for Los Angeles.
“Zip-code profiling in insurance has been one of the most tenacious forms of discrimination,” said the Reverend James Lawson, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater Los Angeles, one of the petitioners. “For decades good drivers in black residential neighborhoods have been charged more. Basic economic fairness should mean that my driving record, not my zip code, would shape by premium. This history of economic discrimination must end, and the new regulation is a long-overdue step in that direction.”

* Maintain acceptable driving records. Drive safely maintaining speed limits. Do not drink and drive.
* Compare car insurance quotes from at least 3 different companies before buying the insurance to save money.

So for a tension-free and safe driving experience get hold of a car insurance plan that will share the risks of driving and provide adequate financial coverage in case of car theft, accident or repair.
Car Insurance for Teens: Why car insurance quotes are so expensive for the first time driver
Car Insurance for Teens: Why car insurance quotes are so expensive for the first time driver
The cost of car insurance for teen drivers tends to be higher than for the life long driver. Why does this occur? Is it fair to assume a first time driver is considered high risk so their car insurance quotes are also overly expensive?
Car insurance companies base their quotes on past information and research and tally up a premium all from the experiences of teen drivers of the past. A new licensed driver is thought of as a risk than any other group of drivers which are insured. The premise of the high car insurance quotes are teen drivers are still learning how to drive, how to react to dangerous situations, and how to think quickly when an accident may occur. Due to this, car insurance companies average in the premium already of one accident occurring in the first driving year.
According to the research, teenagers have the most accidents which cause serious injury or even death than any other age group. This would be a major reason of the high cost of their car insurance. When a teen or young adult searches for car insurance quotes, they will not see a major drop in their premium till they reach the age of 25.
Many teenagers do not get their own car insurance plan till they can afford to pay for it which means they are covered under their parents plan. There are positives and negatives to this approach. The positives are the teens premiums are lower than if they were on a plan alone and the parents coverage is usually comprehensive which means the teens are fully covered. The negatives are when or if the teen has an accident or incurs many tickets, the parent’s car insurance premium will rise for each driver in the household.
For the teen driver who is not being placed onto their parents car insurance plan, there are a few ways to find quotes. Throughout the internet, there are many websites offering free car insurance quotes. Going to real insurance company’s websites like State Farm or Liberty Mutual, offer free quotes directly on their homepage. Within minutes, a teen can see the estimated cost of car insurance.
Another approach is going to a car insurance agent. Ask friends and family if they can suggest someone who they feel is honest and trusting and the agent will do all the research and quoting for you. If teenage drivers are explained the process of finding car insurance, they will be able to find a plan which works best for their needs.

Spokane, WA March 20, 2006 — Serenity Insurance Group, a long time provider of SR22 Automobile insurance, now offers non owner auto insurance coverage in the State of Florida. Non-owner insurance policies provide liability insurance coverage to individuals who don’t own vehicles.
High risk drivers who have had their driver’s license revoked or suspended in the past may also need this type of insurance coverage if they don’t own a vehicle and want to retain their driver’s licenses. Motor vehicle departments will not reinstate a driver’s license without proof of minimum liability insurance.
A non owner auto insurance policy may also include uninsured motorist coverage, and personal injury protection.
Some insurance companies offer a “nonowners policy.” This is useful insurance coverage for people who only drive occasionally and don’t own their own car. Non Owner Auto Insurance policies may include liability, medical payments, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. These insurance policies generally do not include comprehensive, collision, towing reimbursement, or rental reimbursement coverage.
An added benefit to Non Owner Insurance is to show proof of continuous coverage. In situations where a vehicle is sold and not replaced, most people cancel or let their existing insurance policies lapse or expire. If there is a lapse in insurance coverage for an extended period of time, it may be more expensive to get coverage when you buy your next car. Most insurance companies look for continuous coverage when rating an individual for a new auto insurance policy and Serenity Insurance offers non owner vehicle insurance as the perfect solution.

If you have an accident in a borrowed car, your non owner insurance coverage will protect you for liability coverage.

Since a non owner policy may be less expensive than vehicle owner insurance coverage, it makes sense to choose this protection.
