Men tend to be more irresponsible drivers. Women, however, are unlikely to break the law intentionally. Most women do not driver recklessly, overtake dangerously or jump a red light.

Do women drive more safely

Compared to men, women are safer drivers. There are two main reasons for that, female drivers are normally more observant and responsible. Women pay more attention to other drivers and road signs than men do. It comes as no surprise that being observant means less accidents are caused by female drivers. Statistics have shown men are the cause of accidents more frequently than women by more than 50%. Fewer accidents translates to cheaper car insurance for women.

A lot of women are by nature extremely protective. Often, women drive their kids to school in the morning. The most important thing for them is the safety of their kid, and this makes them more careful.

Another thing women are very protective of, is their jobs. For many women it is hard to land the higher paid positions. Having a traffic violation against them could very well result in the loss of their hard earned job. So, being a careful driver is essential for every mother and working women.

Things may well change in the future as more women pursue careers and there are more stay-at-home dads.. Until then, women have the right to demand cheaper auto insurance rates.

Recession And Auto Insurance In Florida

Apart from driving the unemployment up, the recession has also had its effect on the number of uninsured drivers in Florida. This is a bad news for everyone on the road.

By Florida law, you must carry a minimum of $10,000 personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 property damage liability (PDL) insurance for every car with a Florida license plate. Unfortunately, this bare bones minimum coverage does not provide compensation for injuries.

The insurance industry has created a group called Insurance Research Council, which claims that the number of uninsured drivers has increased in the last year. It also predicts that by next year 16 percent of all drivers will be without car insurance.

A leading online car insurance company states that 40% of all enquires are made by people without current car insurance cover. Big increased compared to 2008 when only 10% of people have let their auto insurance to expire.

If an insured motorist has an accident with an uninsured driver, in many cases the insured driver is going to have to deal with the financial consequences of the accident, regardless who was at fault.

That’s why experts urge drivers to check their Florida auto insurance to make sure it includes uninsured motorist coverage.

Cash for Clunkers in Florida

The Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), commonly known as ‘Cash For Clunkers’, is a government sponsored program which aims to help Americans buy new cars and tracks. When you trade in your old vehicle, you will receive a credit of £3,500 or $4,500 toward a new, fuel-efficient car.

Most people know that not all old vehicles qualify and in order to receive the credit your vehicle must meet certain age and gas consumption criteria.

What the majority of people don’t know however, is that your vehicle must also have been insured for the previous 12 months.

This means that people who have been driving without auto insurance in Florida or have stored their non running vehicles without registration tag and auto insurance, will not be able to participate in the program.

If your insurance card does not cover the entire year preceding the trade in, you will need other proof of insurance. Contact your insurance company to get evidence of 1 year worth of insurance. The form must include, at a minimum, the insurance company, policy number, VIN, start and end date of insurance (showing at least 1 year).

For those who have cars or tracks which otherwise qualify for the ‘Cash For Clunkers’ program, this auto insurance rule may seem unfair.

The program is scheduled to last until either November 1 or whenever the funds run out.
