Regardless about the additional expense of travel insurance, the question that needs to be answered is not whether to book it or not.

Car insurance coverage laws are ever changing which for many people can be a double edged sword for them. Every time that the majority party in the Senate or House changes, the newly elected politicians changes the rules in regards to car insurance laws.

In the state of North Carolina, the General Assembly will be voting on three car insurance related bills soon. These bills are called Senate Bill 477, Senate Bill 490, and House Bill 834.

Aggressive Drivers Facing Rise In Bumping Insurance Claim

Posted in Auto Insurance by Christine Davis on April 21, 2011 No Comments yet

More than half of UK motorists claim for rear end bump repair every year leading to increase in aggressive driving. The statistics show that the rear end bump accidents count is around 420,000 claims per year, which is seriously high as it equates to one in four road accidents happening on UK road.

The car driving at a speed of 40mph needs to be 36 meters away to stop; this is almost equivalent to nine car lengths. The aggressive drivers drive too close to the car in front leaving no breathing space in between the two cars.
