You will not drive much in the future
The world is running out of oil and as a result you will not drive as much in the future. I am an American that lives in Poland and I have not had a car in 10 years, well I had a car in Poland for a few weeks but it cost too much. Gas prices are out of control. In Poland more than the USA, but in the USA it will be 15 dollars a gallon. And at 15 dollars a gallon, remember you read it hear, you will not drive. It is supply and demand. The demand is so high supply production can not keep up. Further the total supply is running low. We will not run out of oil in 10 years, but the law of supply and demand will push prices up to where they should 15 dollars a gallon. In Poland prices of gas are about 10 dollars a gallon. And I do not drive. I take a train or walk. With trains everywhere in Poland why would I need to drive. This will be the future of the USA. We fought two wars in Iraq to get oil and it make no difference. American will have to drive less.

New Auto technology
There are two new technologies out that can improve driving safety, they are lane departure alerts and collision warning systems. The first technology warns drivers when they are leaving a lane with vibration or visual or audio cues. This lane departure auto technology seems simple but if you consider how many accidents are caused by lane departures it is estimated that it could save, lives. About 1/2 million US accidents are caused by lane departures and 10 thousand lives are lost each year. The collision warning system is just what it sounds like, alerts drivers when it perceives a potential frontal crash. Frontal crashes account for about 40 percent of the auto accidents. For me personally car safety is a major factor in car purchases and any technology that can reduce the risk of accident is well worth its weight in gold. I am curious is auto insurance companies will give discounts for such technonolgies if they prove effective in the long run.

Auto insurance fraud
One quarter of the drivers could have invalid insurance. 26% of UK of the drivers in the UK have an auto insurance information that was reported and is false. This means if they are found out, their auto insurance could be invalid. The most common things things that car owners lie about are their the mileage, what that they do, where they live, past claims, where the car is parked, and of course points on their license. Cutting corner, pun intended seems innocent until you are caught. Auto insurance companies have huge departments set up just to investigate these types of things. It seems innocent but what it does is puts drivers in insurance risk categories that are lower than the rest and therefore unfairly gives these car owners discounts on auto insurance. They are usually not found out unless, there is a car accident and an insurance claim detective looks deeper into the insurance policy for some reason. And certainly this auto insurance fraud is not on the same scale as other types of Auto insurance fraud. But it is a form of fraud.

Although insurance rates vary from company to company, state to state etc, the cheapest model of Toyota to insure can be the Avalon. For liability, safety and damage the Toyota Avalon, as excellent statistical ratings. For safety alone it can have a 30% discount because, not only is it built well but also the drivers of the Toyota Avalon car tend to be safety. Actually all the Toyotas ranked well, with perhaps the lowest being the popular Toyota Corolla being the lowest statistically for sfaty etc, because of its size compared to the bulkier Toyota models to insure. To drive, I prefer the Camry as it is more in my budget, but the Avalon is king when it comes to the cheapest Toyota to insure.
