4 tips for using electronic evidence of insurance during traffic stops
 Now that evidence of electronic insurance is accepted in most states, the fear of digging through your glove box for insurance cards recently is largely a thing of the past.

 John Espenschied from Insurance Brokers Group at St. Louis said most insurance operators have participated in digital bandwagon and have given their customers the ability to withdraw insurance cards on smartphones.

 "Your insurance card is now accessible like a smartphone in your hand," said Espenschied. "The possibility is, if you go to the app store on your smartphone, you will find the application of your insurance company."

 This application often allows you to make payments, submit and track claims, and keep a copy of your car insurance proof.

 This means you have to download your insurance company application and create an account to have access to your insurance card by telephone. You also most likely have to enter the application every time a police officer stops you.

 ALSO: Are Car Features Too Disturbing?

 Just because most insurance companies offer proof of electronic insurance does not mean that police officers in all states will accept it.

 Korey Adekoya, business development manager at Shabana Motors in Houston, said that in 2017 only Connecticut, New Mexico and Washington, D.C., needed the driver to show physical proof of insurance. This means that motorists who pull over in these countries cannot simply withdraw proof of insurance on their smart phones.

 So, if you plan to drive through parts of the country have access to your actual proof of insurance paper copy.

 "If you are in a condition that has not legalized it, you may be responsible for fines and fees," Adekoya said.

 Jayson Greene, insurance agent with Carolina Insurance Professionals in Raleigh, North Carolina, said that it became much more common for motorists to rely on proof of electronic insurance when they pulled over to stop traffic.

 But that does not mean that drivers also cannot keep a physical copy of their insurance card to make a backup.

 "One trap could be an attractive officer. You might not be aware of the law - this would apply to countries that have just passed the law - if your smartphone dies," Greene said.

 ALSO: What's New in Cars for 2018?

 However, most officers already know that digital proof of insurance is now acceptable. Kent Unruh, owner of Unruh Insurance Co. in Denver and East Earl, Pennsylvania, said he expects more motorists and police officers to receive proof of electronic insurance.

 "In the 21st century, everything is digital," Unruh said. "Proof of insurance is no exception."

 However, it helps to find out the right and wrong ways to prove you have car insurance. Try following these tips:

 1. Don't be confrontational
Although most states permit proof of electronic insurance, some police officers may not be familiar with the law. This is relatively new in some states. Do not expect officers to attract you to become an expert. Describe your position politely.

 If the clerk disagrees, just take a ticket or warning. You'd better submit a case in a traffic court rather than going up to a confrontation with the clerk.

 2. Explain in advance your insurance card is on your smartphone
Pulling aside a car driver can also cause anxiety for officers. If the clerk asks for proof of insurance, explain that you must access it on your cellphone before reaching for your device.

 3. Showing proof of insurance not agreeing to search for a smartphone
Keep your phone in your hand when showing proof of insurance to your officer. However, if he insists on taking your phone, then allow him to only see policy information.

 Legally, an officer cannot search your cellphone without your warrant or approval. Explain that just because your proof of insurance is on your phone does not mean you give permission to look for a telephone.

 4. Make sure your documentation looks official
Most state laws are not clear as to what electronic evidence is

Auto Insurance Options for Low-Income Drivers
Auto Insurance Options for Low-Income Drivers:

 It’s illegal to drive without car insurance in all 50 states. You need coverage, then, if you want to drive anywhere in the United States. But what if you’re struggling with a low income and can’t afford auto insurance?
You might qualify for low-cost auto insurance sponsored by state governments. These programs are designed to provide drivers who meet certain income requirements auto insurance that meets a state’s legal minimums.
If you drive with state-sponsored low-cost auto insurance, then, you won’t be breaking the law as you travel its highways and side streets.
The problem? It’s not easy to find state-sponsored low-income auto insurance. As of the writing of this story, there were only three states that offered such programs, California, Hawaii and New Jersey.
Fortunately, even if your state doesn’t offer low-income auto insurance programs, you can take steps to reduce the cost of the coverage you are legally required to hold.
State-sponsored insurance programs
Other ways to reduce your insurance costs
The California Low-Cost Automobile Insurance program -- better known as CLCA -- offers both liability and underinsured motorist coverage for low-income drivers. This coverage will meet the legally mandated coverage minimums imposed by the state of California.
Not everyone qualifies for this program, of course. Your annual income must be within 250 percent of the federal poverty limit, you must be at least 16 years old and you must own a car that is worth less than $25,000.
How much you pay for this program varies depending on your age, sex and the county in which you live. For instance, a male from the ages 19 to 24 who lives in California's Marin County will pay $417 a year for this coverage. A driver who lives in Sacramento County and is not a male from the ages of 19 to 24 will pay $321 each year for this insurance.
Hawaii's program is far more limited than is California's. Offered through the state's Assistance to the Aged, Blind and Disabled services program, Hawaii's low-income auto insurance program provides free coverage to people with disabilities who are at least 65 years old. Recipients must also have income levels that are below 34 percent of the federal poverty limit.
New Jersey's Special Automobile Insurance Policy is open to a much wider pool of drivers and will cover you legally if you are driving in the state. However, it doesn't provide much coverage.
The program only covers emergency medical costs if you are in an auto accident. The program's Web page says that the insurance also covers the treatment of serious brain and spinal cord injuries up to $250,000 and provides a death benefit of $10,000.
The policy doesn't cover damage drivers might cause to other persons or property. it also doesn't cover any money you'd need to spend to repair your own vehicle. In other words, there isn't a lot of protection with this program.
The coverage is inexpensive, though, costing drivers $365 a year. Eligibility is limited, though: Drivers must be enrolled in Federal Medicaid with Hospitalization. Drivers can apply for this coverage at private insurance agencies working throughout the state.
Drivers who pay for an entire year's worth of coverage are only required to pay $360 a year.
The lack of state-sponsored car insurance programs can be frustrating. But there are ways to save on auto insurance even if you don't live in a state that offers low-income policies.
Brian So, founder of Canadian insurance agency Brian So Insurance in Vancouver, British Columbia, recommends that consumers pay their insurance premiums monthly if they need financial relief.
Interest rates have been rising, but they are still quite low. This can make it more affordable to pay off your yearly car insurance bill in smaller bites, So said.
"If you're on a tight budget, you may not be able top ay the entire annual premium upfront," So said. "With interest rates still hovering near historical lows, you will be able to finance the premium monthly with low monthly payments."
You can also reduce your monthly or annual premiums by increasing your deductible, the amount you have to pay first following an accident before your insurance company pays out. If your deductible is $1,000, and you get into an accident causing $5,000 worth of damage, you pay the first $1,000 and your insurer will pay the remaining $4,000.
As So says, the higher your deductible, the lower your premiums, making paying for insurance over the long-term more affordable. Just be careful that your deductible isn't so high that if you do file a claim it won't bust your household budget.
"Increasing the deductible will hurt your wallet more if there is a claim," So said. "But at least you are not sacrificing a necessary coverage even with less expensive insurance."
You can also save on auto insurance by reducing the amount of coverage you take out on your vehicle. Your coverage will need to include liability, which covers damage to other people or property that you cause. States require this level of insurance.
Auto insurance policies also provide full comprehensive and collision coverage, which covers you for damages to your car. If your car is totaled in an accident, this insurance would help cover the costs of repairing or replacing it.
But if your car is old -- or if you are desperate to reduce your auto insurance premiums -- you can drop this coverage. If your car is damaged, you'll have to pay for repairs on your own. If it is completely destroyed, you'll have to cover the costs of buying a new car on your own, too. But dropping collision and comprehensive coverage will save you money on your premium and make it easier to buy the insurance you need to drive legally.

 Insurance for your Hybrid Car

Drivers of hybrid cars, such as the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight or Lexus GS450h, are frequently penalised by mainstream insurance companies because the insurers often don't know what to make of the new technologies. They assume that the advanced components will be easily damaged and cost more to fix and so they set the premiums high.
And because many committed supporters of hybrid cars have imported their vehicles from the more mature hybrid vehicle markets in Japan or America, they may not even be able to offer insurance cover at all.

Here are some reasons why your hybrid car is more expensive to insure.

While hybrid cars are becoming increasingly popular, getting auto insurance in Oakland, CA for hybrid vehicles remains higher than average.  But why does this cost disparity between normal and hybrid cars exist?  Here are some of the reasons why it’s more expensive to insure hybrid cars.
  • Hybrids are Expensive
One of the reasons that hybrids are more expensive to insure than normal cars is that they are simply more expensive in the first place.  Because the price of the car does factor into how your insurance premiums are calculated, the more expensive the car, the higher your insurance premiums will be.
  • They Have Fancy Parts
Another reason why hybrids are expensive to insure is because they require special parts that regular cars do not have.  Not only are these parts expensive to replace, but the actual repair price is also very costly as well.  This also contributes to increased insurance rates.
  • They Need Special Mechanics
Because hybrids require fancy parts and have different mechanical components than regular cars, only specially trained mechanics can work on them.  This means that finding a repair shop can be a difficult process.  Because of this need for specialized service, your insurance premiums will be higher.
These are some of the reasons why hybrid cars are more expensive to insure than normal cars.  If you are looking for comprehensive auto insurance at a price that won’t break your budget, turn to us.  For help finding the right policies, contact the professionals at Cook, Disharoon & Greathouse, Inc.

auto insurance

Understanding auto insurance—the basics
  • Property – such as damage to or theft of your car
  • Liability – your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property damage
  • Medical – the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses
Who is covered by my auto insurance—and under what circumstances?Is auto insurance coverage mandatory?
  • Bodily injury liability – which covers costs associated with injuries or death that you or another driver causes while driving your car.
  • Property damage liability – which reimburses others for damage that you or another driver operating your car causes to another vehicle or other property, such as a fence, building or utility pole.
  • Medical payments or personal injury protection (PIP), which provides reimbursement for medical expenses for injuries to you or your passengers. It will also cover lost wages and other related expenses.
  • Uninsured motorist coverage reimburses you when an accident is caused by a driver who does not have auto insurance—or in the case of a hit-and-run. You can also purchase underinsured motorist coverage, which will cover costs when another driver lacks adequate coverage to pay the costs of a serious accident.
What other types of auto insurance coverage are typical?
  • Collision reimburses you for damage to your car that occurs as a result of a collision with another vehicle or other object—e.g., a tree or guardrail—when you’re at fault. While collision coverage will not reimburse you for mechanical failure or normal wear-and-tear on your car, it will cover damage from potholes or from rolling your car.
  • Comprehensive provides coverage against theft and damage caused by an incident other than a collision, such as fire, flood, vandalism, hail, falling rocks or trees and other hazards—even getting hit by an asteroid!
  • Glass Coverage provides coverage from windshield damage, which is common. Some auto policies include no-deductible glass coverage, which also includes side windows, rear windows and glass sunroofs. Or you can buy supplemental glass coverage.
What is gap insurance and do I need it?
Auto insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company that protects you against financial loss in the event of an accident or theft. In exchange for your paying a premium, the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as outlined in your policy.
Auto insurance provides coverage for:
Basic personal auto insurance is mandated by most U.S. states, and laws vary. Auto insurance coverages are priced individually (a la carte) to let you customize coverage amounts to suit your exact needs and budget.
Policies are generally issued for six-month or one-year timeframes and are renewable. The insurance company sends a notice when it’s time to renew the policy and pay your premium.
Your auto policy will cover you and other family members on your policy, whether driving your car or someone else’s car (with their permission). Your policy also provides coverage if someone who is not on your policy is driving your car with your consent.
Your personal auto policy only covers personal driving, whether you’re commuting to work, running errands or taking a trip. It will not provide coverage if you use your car for commercial purposes—for instance, if you deliver pizzas.
Personal auto insurance will also not provide coverage if you use your car to provide transportation to others through a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft. Some auto insurers, however, are now offering supplemental insurance products (at additional cost) that extend coverage for vehicle owners providing ride-sharing services.
Auto insurance requirements vary from state to state. If you're financing a car, your lender may also have its own requirements. Nearly every state requires car owners to carry:
In addition, many states require that you carry:
Even if PIP and uninsured motorist coverage are optional in your state, consider adding them to your policy for greater financial protection.
While most basic, legally mandated auto insurance covers the damage your car causes, it does notcover damage to your own car. To cover your own car, you should consider these optional coverages:
Collision and comprehensive only cover the market value of your car, not what you paid for it—and new cars depreciate quickly. If your car is totaled or stolen, there may be a “gap” between what you owe on the vehicle and your insurance coverage. To cover this, you may want to look into purchasing gap insurance to pay the difference. Note that for leased vehicles, gap coverage is usually rolled into your lease payments.

Tips to Reduce Car Pollution Level during Smog Season


The rising pollution levels are making the future bleak, the time may soon come with all of us walking with our own personal supply of oxygen. So let’s take steps to reduce car pollution and get rid of the deadly smog. Read on to know more.

Day by day increase in the number of cars plying and polluting the Indian roads has become a major reason for the hazardous smog. This has put major cities like Delhi and Mumbai on a red alert. The situation has reached a very critical stage in the capital. The toxic smog has even forced the government to take up emergency actions like closing schools, bringing back the odd-even rule and even banning the entry of truck into the capital.
Relying on such temporary measures definitely won’t help. It may show some results for the time being. But, it won’t bring the pollution down caused to the environment by our cars on a daily basis. So, it is high time we take some drastic measures to cure this nuisance while we still have a chance.
Follow these tips to reduce the pollution that your vehicle produces. This will certainly help to control the growing smog, if we all come together and take the below measures:
  • Warm up your car, since it tends to take more time to start in early winter mornings. This starting time can also be longer if the vehicle is a couple of years old or the fuel type is diesel. So, just make sure to start a few minutes early for your destination and warm up the car for a few minutes before you leave. This helps in reducing the fuel consumption.
  • Keep the tyres inflated properly with the correct pressure in relation to the tyre, make and model of your car. This simple step will help to run your car smoothly and save the precious fuel.
  • Turn off the air conditioning system whenever you can, especially at the red lights. Whenever we switch on the air conditioning of the car, we indirectly put extra load on the engine of the car causing it to burn more fuel. If you are driving on the highway and the atmosphere is cool and pleasant, we can definitely turn off the AC, bring down the windows and save some precious fuel and produce lesser exhaust.
  • Regular servicing and tune-up of your precious car on the on-set of every season increases the life span of your beloved car. Besides, it also reduces the pollutants emitted and keeps your car healthier and greener. You should regularly change the oil, check the oil and air filters, and tune the engine to its best. This results in increased efficiency and fuel saving.
  • Fill up your fuel tank always from a reputed and known fuelling station, this will help in getting un-adulterated and good quality fuel. Good fuel keeps your car’s engine health in peak condition and keeps pollutants well within the prescribed limits.
  • Keeping your car fuel efficient saves you good money. It also keeps the environment clean. This method also helps to keep your car lighter. Remove any extra or unwanted things from your car to make it lighter. You can also look at keeping the fuel tank filed only up to 60% if you drive in the city only. A relatively lighter fuel tank will lower the weight of the car, burn less fuel during climbing a flyover or pickups.
  • Use strict pedal control. Having an efficient acceleration technique can save you up to 10% fuel. When you constantly floor the accelerator to rush past other vehicles and then brake again, you are damaging your car’s engine and the environment at the same time. Therefore, drive properly and at correct speeds.
  • Give your vehicle a proper pollution check at regular intervals of say 3 months. Regular pollution check may help in finding out any problems that might exist or occur in future.
  • You may also use any public transport for few days to rest your vehicle. . Even bringing down the number of cars running on the road considerably can help big time in reducing the pollution. As the public transport system like trains, metros, etc. run on electricity, it helps in bringing down the pollutants being released in the air.
  • If you are not comfortable using the public transport system or your destinations are not connected by the public transport system you can try carpooling. Reducing even a handful of cars on the road on a regular basis can add up into a big advantage for the environment.
In the current scenario and looking at the conditions of the major cities, the air quality has degraded to smoking around 50 to 60 cigarettes per day. Under such conditions, the most important, logical and primary thing to be done is restoring the green lungs of the city. We must undertake a massive plantation drive to bring back fresh air which can counter the effects pollution is having on our atmosphere.

Five Myths about insurance
No one likes to buy auto insurance. It’s complicated. It’s expensive. And who understands how the premiums are determined? Maybe that’s why there is so much misinformation about insurance coverage and pricing.
The non-profit Insurance Information Institute helped me tackle five common auto insurance myths:
Myth 1:  Red cars cost more to insure 
If you believe the owners of red cars drive more aggressively and get more speeding tickets, this would make sense. But there’s no data to back this up.
Life insurance goes up with age, but not necessarily auto insurance. In fact, it’s often just the opposite.
It doesn’t work that way. Liability insurance (required in some state) covers you if you hurt someone or damage their property. Comprehensive and collision coverage protect your vehicle. That is why this is always optional coverage. Note: It may be required by the lender if you have a lease or car loan.
In fact, it’s just the opposite. Members of the military (no matter what branch) qualify for a discount on their auto insurance. In most cases, you’ll need to document your rank and how long you’ll be serving.
Personal auto insurance does not protect you if you are self-employed and using your vehicle for business purposes.

“Frankly, it doesn't matter whether the car is red or green or purple," said Loretta Worters, vice president of the Insurance Information Institute.
Insurers are not concerned about color and neither is law enforcement.
“We look at behavior, not appearance,” said Bob Calkins, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol. “We don’t profile people, and we don’t profile cars.”
Insurance companies do care about the type of vehicle you drive, including the make, model, sticker price, engine size and year. Is it popular with thieves? Is it more costly to repair? Does it have a good safety record?
There does appear to be correlation between vehicle model and the likelihood of a traffic ticket. A recent study by Quality Planning (a San Francisco-based analytics company that works with auto insurers) found that drivers of flashy cars are often more aggressive and therefore a greater risk.
Based on this study, drivers of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class convertible are four times more likely to be cited for a moving violation than the average driver. Quality Planning’s list of Top Ten “Spirited Vehicles” includes Toyota’s Camry Solara Coupe, Scion’s TC Coupe and the Hummer H2/H3 SUV.
Other factors that go into determining your premium: how many miles you drive each year, when you drive, where you drive and if you’ve had any previous accidents. These days your credit history is also considered. Insurance companies say their data show people with a good credit history are less likely to file a claim.
Myth 2:  Older drivers pay more for car insurance 
Many drivers who are 55 or older can get their rates reduced — by up to 10 percent for three years — if they successfully complete an accident prevention course.
“Insurance companies look at these mature driving courses and find them to be a good thing,” Loretta Worters told me. “It helps refresh an older driver and keeps them sharp and keeps them safer on the road.”
Check with your insurance agent to find defensive driving courses that are approved by your insurer. If you are retired or no longer working full time, see if you qualify for a discount based on driving less.
Myth 3:  Your insurance policy covers any damage to your car  
If you want to fully protect your vehicle for all types of damage, you need to purchase both collision and comprehensive coverage. But many people with older cars sometimes drop these coverages in order to save money.
“If the vehicle is worth less than a thousand dollars or less than 10 times the insurance premium, purchasing this optional coverage may not be cost effective,” Worters said.
Myth 4: Soldiers pay more for insurance 
“Many insurers also provide discounts for former members of the military and their families,” Worters said. “So it’s a good thing for military families to look into.”
Myth 5: Your policy covers you if you drive the car for business 
A lot of young people who take pizza delivery jobs don’t know this, for example, so if you’re not an employee of the pizza restaurant, you’re not covered by the company’s insurance policy. If you have an accident while making a delivery and you’re on your own. Your personal insurance will most likely deny any claims.

Introduction:

The talks on electric cars is everyone. Most of the top auto brands and big car manufacturers worldwide have moved towards adopting innovative technology and producing their own version of electric vehicle. It is easily understood that, it is presently going through the beta or testing period and auto experts are making plans to integrate electric car models into the present auto market paradigm. One of the vital gaps that needs to be addressed seriously in order to make successful electric car usage is the understanding on of the functioning along with usability of electric cars among the car owners, driver sand also auto mechanics. Now let us understand the main factors that are dependent on bringing the age of electric cars and making it a reality in the near future.
Is electric vehicles going to become a reality in the near future? What the benefits of using electric cars over traditional vehicles? Learn about the trends in the automobile industry and the recent urge of going green through driving electric vehicles in the wake of excessive natural and ecological damage.

Understand Electric Vehicles (EVs)

One of the most important things that all the electric car enthusiasts must know before thinking of buying them is understanding the mechanisms that goes into making EVS work. The price of electric car batteries is very high and it costs a lot to replace the batteries.
For that purpose, it is important to maintain the car batteries properly. Moreover, there is huge shortage of electric car charging stations in the country and also worldwide. Thus, it is necessary to build the required kind of infrastructure in order to compel people to buy EVs.

Ecological Imbalance

Another important factor that may are making people move towards the goal for having environment-friendly solutions to their everyday problems. The world is suffering from the looming danger of uncontrolled pollution, deforestation and also use of harmful chemical against the nature.
The recent corner for restoring ecological imbalance have forced car manufactures to control carbon-emission and roll out hybrid and electric vehicles which run partially or completely on electric batteries. The national governments also need to understand the gravity of the problem.

Build Proper Infrastructure

Another important hindrance that have amounted to less growth of the electric cars in the automobile market is less infrastructure required for the growth of this types of vehicles. Many charging stations need to be made in order to service in the ever-increasing number of electric vehicles.
Along with providing charging stations, more and more car manufacturers are also looking for providing car charging stations for the garage of electric car owners. Moreover, having proper knowledge of charging and how the battery works is also important.

Electric Car Costs

There are many new electric cars in the market already. So, the costs are relatively high in the present times and talks are of the price subjected to increase in the coming years. Also, we have discussed in previous articles about the costs of electric cars.
Moreover, in order to buy electric and hybrid vehicles, you also need to have electric car insurance. Most of the top auto insurers who are functioning in the market, have come up with car insurance plans specially for electric vehicles sector.

Driver Less Electric Cars

So, now that we have understood about the electric car market, there is recent talks about bring completely driver less electric cars in the fold. With the advent of technology, we have developed autonomous cars that drive with any human interference.
Moreover, it  needs to be noticed that the driver less cars can only be possible after the initial success of electric vehicles. The road infrastructure needs to be changed completely and the other kinds of regular cars need to be removed completely.

What The Future Holds?

Now, the question that remains in the mind of people is whether this quest for bringing electric cars is a success. It is to be taken into account that the buying power and stranded of living in increasing both in the developed and developing economies.
The countries that have already taken the initial step and is serious about implementing path-breaking solutions for manufacturing electric vehicles for the masses are Norway, Japan and also China. Many other nations are also thinking of building the required strategy for electric cars.

Lets Go Green:

Thus, the future of electric cars are dependent on several factors over the course of time. In order to make electric car – a complete success story, there is a need for complete infrastructural upheaval. In addition to that, the mindset or spending capabilities in terms of cars and transportation also needs to be changed. It is easily understood to be a gradual transition and the results and affects cannot be viewed just overnight. Moreover, along with electric vehicles there is rise of driver-less cars in the automobile market- thanks to the artificial intelligence boom. However, in order to make driving in complete electric cars not the hybrid models possible on a large scale, initiatives must be taken in the governmental or federal level and also supported by favorable laws in favor of electric cars regulations.
