According to the article “Florida Lawmakers Seek to Reduce Costly Court Battles Over Auto Insurance” by Sally Kestin on OrlandoSentinel.com, Florida auto insurance lawsuits are out of control and need to be reined in. Florida auto insurance quotes are increasing and insurance regulators agree that pricey court battles are partly to blame.
Rep. Bryan Nelson believes something must be done soon. He says it’s critical they take a hard look at ways Florida can reduce costs over time.

Campaigns against texting while driving have been surfacing for a few years because of the supposed link between it and a surge in car accidents. However, an expert believes this focus is misdirected and should be placed on other areas of importance.

The cost of auto insurance in the United States was 0.9 percent higher in November than it was in October, according to new data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This data represents a drastic increase in coverage over just a one-month period and shows that the price to insure is still on the rise.
End-of-Year Increases Could Continue Into 2011

It appears that car insurers are joing the fight to reduce the frustrations caused by potholes across South Africa!
Potholes are not only a safety hazard, but they also pose danger to the wheel alignment and suspension of your car that’s if the short- term danger of a flat tyre doesn’t get you first.
Many have tried to curb the problem, but there are still an increasing number of potholes in South Africa, which are growing in size and stature as fast as they are multiplying.

I don’t know about you but watching the news has been difficult for me over the past couple of weeks as a result of the floods that have occurred in Queensland, Australia and Brazil as well as those in Sri Lanka that seem to have been less reported on. It seems that the whole world’s weather has gone a little crazy of late. This is exactly why you should have measures in place to protect you, such as home insurance.

There is finally some good news on the horizon for those people who love their cheap car insurance and yet either stand to lose it or have suffered with it at the hands of uninsured drivers in the past. The government is finally taking a much tougher stance on it that will hopefully discourage those people that are tempted to put others at risk when they start the engine on their uninsured car. Not only has this already been announced but the measures are set to come into force in spring thanks to the action by the Department of Transport.
Although 400 uninsured drivers are caught by police everyday, many ultimately get away with it because they never get pulled over.
