Making Teen Drivers Safer is an interactive Web site with videos and educational articles that can be very useful for drivers of all age, really.


Readers: Getting behind the wheel for the 1st time (or 900th time) has consequences that are somewhat predictable. However, drivers can make wise choices to avoid accidents, as well as the high insurance costs associated with bad driving. Educating yourself about all your options is important, but it is also important to understand the financial costs associated with your driving. Sometime we are so thrilled to take to the road that such concerns are often overlooked.


Try Me: Ask your insurance agent about the costs driving associated with YOU. Find out how much rates change based on your age, gender, type of car and driving record. How much would your rates go up if you have a DUI or get into an accident that was your fault? Also ask how you can get your rates lowered.
