Now that we have talked a little bit about allowing more traveling time whenever it is raining and practicing extreme caution, we now want to make sure that you understand that you do need to brake a heck of a lot sooner than you normally would whenever you are driving in the rain.
The reason for this is because your brakes are going to be soaking wet and they could actually slip, which is one of the major reasons why you want to make sure that you keep quite a bit of distance between you and the car in front of you.
This can actually save your life! You also want to make sure that you pay attention to your surroundings and make sure that you keep your high beams on!

4. Comprehensive storage.
If you have to place your car in storage for a while, you can save money that way. For that matter, even keeping your car in a garage can provide savings. You are, after all, keeping it safe from accidents, theft, and so on.
5. Checking your mileage.
Always double check your mileage. You can get savings if you meet the “miles to work” limit. This all comes down to knowing for certain how many miles you have to drive to work — and your vehicle’s classification.
6. Group discounts.
Group discounts are great. They can occur for many types of organizations, even fraternities and sororities.
7. Lower coverages.
If you can get away with lower amounts of coverage on things like comprehensive, liability, collision, and medical payments, you can save a lot.

There are many ways to save on your car insurance. Some of them come as quite a surprise. We are going to look at seven helpful tips.
1. Anti theft devices.
Keeping your car safe yourself makes car insurance companies happy. In some cases, your car has them. Others can be purchased on your own. Either way, they make for savings.
2. Multiple car discounts.
Having more than one car on the same policy is a big money saver. Two heads are better than one and two (or more) cars can be cheaper than one.
3. Yearly policies.
With a yearly insurance policy, your rate cannot change for an entire year. With six month policies, they are subject to change, of course, every six months.

With Pay As You Drive car insurance policies, what basically happens is that the premiums you pay are directly linked to how many miles you put on your vehicle.
Say, for instance, that you have a third car, which is generally only used when your two primary vehicles are not available. You naturally want this vehicle to be insured, yet it really rather sucks that you have to pay premiums when you may only have to drive it for a few days every few weeks or months. A Pay As You Drive policy could be ideal for this.
These policies can save a lot of money in part because the more you drive, the riskier you are in the eyes of a car insurance company; there is more of a chance that you could get into an accident.

When you think about it – who are the people that tend to drive really slowly and drive us all crazy but do not get into all that many car accidents? Elderly people. Most of the time, the older that you are, the slower that you drive and this can actually work to your benefit; so make sure that you pay attention to these next few blogs on how it can benefit you to drive like an older person.
It has been statistically proven that elder drivers tend to be safer on the road versus younger drivers. How can that impact your car insurance? Well, if the elder does not get into a lot of car accidents and does not get a lot of tickets, that means their car insurance premium would be low.
Car insurance is expensive and if you drive safe, it is lower – more in the next blog about how the elders save cash on car insurance.

Plenty is being done to penalize uninsured drivers — or, rather, to keep drivers from being uninsured in the first place. Now, yes, sometimes it is hard to even think about paying car insurance premiums when money is tight and you are having a problem making mortgage payments, house payments, when it is hard to buy food for your family. But when you drive without insurance, you are putting both yourself and every other driver you ever pass at risk.
Recognizing this, most states are putting into place systems and/or legislation designed to keep drivers from being uninsured. For instance, your tags may get canceled if you lapse on your auto insurance policy, making it illegal to drive your vehicle. Doing this can lead to fines, jail time, and the suspension of your license.
There is also legislation in the works designed to create even harsher penalties for drivers who do not have insurance.

Drivers who are either uninsured or severely under insured cause a lot of problems. They are problematic for car insurance companies, of course — that almost goes without saying. But what the average consumer may not realize is that they are also a problem for drivers who do have insurance. The number of uninsured drivers in each state varies greatly; for example, in New Mexico, an astonishing twenty nine percent of all drivers are uninsured, while only one percent of the drivers in Massachusetts are uninsured. In theory, the latter sounds good, but the sheer number of uninsured drivers in the United States alone is not only staggering but scary — and the numbers are rising at an alarming rate, due to the still somewhat unstable state of the economy.
So what harm do these uninsured drivers pose? And what is being done about this problem?
