The recently passed and signed Motor Vehicle Revisions law (HB151) is fundamentally flawed. From the bill's wording, I deduce that those who drive without automobile insurance are considered unsafe, at-risk drivers. This is a flawed assumption.

FOR years, drivers paid less for car insurance if they reported low mileage. Now, insurers are using hi-tech devices to track customers' habits and offering deep discounts to those who drive not only less, but also cautiously.

In the US, Progressive Corp and GMAC Insurance, a unit of GMAC Financial Services, are the first and largest companies to offer this type of plan.

At least two smaller companies, including Unigard Insurance Co of Washington state in the US, a unit of QBE Insurance Group of Australia, also are poised to start similar schemes. Companies in Canada and Italy also have programs, and Hartford Financial Services Group Inc is testing the same technology in Connecticut.

Drivers who participate in these plans have devices installed in their cars that, depending on the... // The Australian

When getting quotes online you should always evaluate your protection. When you step into an insurance office or purchase your automobile insurance online, review the different coverage options available. One of the coverage that is required by basic California law is the Basic liability coverage of 15/30/5. This is your basic financial responsibility coverage.

Having this coverage is important not only because it is required, but it also protects the third party from any unforeseen losses. Financially it is a benefit to you. You may purchase a high limit of liability to even further protect yourself. Be aware that minimum coverage does not provide you protection, so consider adding one of the many other protection options.

One other coverage that is affordable is uninsured... // Best Syndication
