Some Tips for Perfecting your Parking Skills

Whether you live in a busy, bustling city or a quiet country dwelling, being able to drive safely and confidently is important, and one of the most common things that drivers of all ages find tricky is parking. Though absolutely essential, the seemingly simple act of parking a car can become cumbersome and time consuming due to several factors, from surface terrain and reduced visibility to even an unfamiliar new car.

To avoid accidents and save time, there are plenty of small tips to bear in mind the next time you go to reverse park into a tight space, or parallel park on a congested street, but here's a few of them to get you started.

Small scrapes and bumps are very common in car parks, where space is usually of a premium. When you find the best spot to park in, first decide whether to reverse in or go nose first, and then remember to go slowly. Though you'll hopefully not cause any serious accidents while parking, it can still be expensive to fix that scratched paint work if you're not careful. Simply reducing your speed immediately gives you a far greater margin for error and allows you time to consider each movement and amend any mistakes as you go.

Next is observation. By being aware of what is around you on all sides, it can reduce the likelihood of accidents and will improve your spatial awareness, so when you come to get out of the car, you won't find that you're parked too close to even open your driver's door! A simple fix to prevent you from denting your bumper (or anyone else’s) is parking sensors. They can be used both front and rear and will help you park more accurately in no time.

In a busy street or packed multi-storey car park, it’s easy for drivers to get competitive over parking spaces. Don’t. Remember that keeping control of the car is essential at all times, so you should try to avoid any actions that could provoke other drivers. Maintain common courtesy while parking that you would use throughout your day to day life, as this will keep you relaxed and focused as you go to park.

Finally, don’t forget the little things that will make the job of parking easier. Before you begin the manoeuvre, make sure you’re aware of what’s around you and, just as importantly, make sure fellow drivers are aware of you. Signal clearly and early, allowing drivers plenty of time to give you room to park, and be considerate of how much space you take up too - always aim for the minimum.

Though there are plenty of car insurance companies out there, follow these simple tips and hopefully your parking will be bump-free in the future.

Why Cheap Car Insurance for Women?

"Woman driver!" Usually not a statement of praise. The truth is, though, the level of insurance, the board, is cheaper for women. That's a pretty big argument that maybe they are better drivers than men. The important point here, though, is that there is more than just sex to get cheap car insurance.

Why Cheap Car Insurance for Women - The simple reason is that the auto insurance industry to see women as less than the risk to ensure than men. Women tend to be safer drivers, taking fewer risks, and have fewer accidents. When women have their accident or injury likely to be small fender benders are not an accident that resulted in major damage or total vehicle.


Search For Cheaper Price - One of the best things one can do (male or female) is to shop around for the best insurance. The emergence of the Internet has made the process relatively easy. From the comfort and privacy in your own home you can shop various providers. There are even insurance rate comparison website available to further simplify the process. In addition, some companies offer up to 10% for online shopping.

Take advantage of the Woman's Cheaper Rate - If less expensive to ensure a woman driver, why not have a policy in his name and then make a man an insured driver on his policy? It will prove much cheaper than vice versa. If the policy is in the name of the person, adding a woman driver would tend to bring them down premium rates.

Some Tips to Reduce Premiums - Here are some ideas that could save everyone the extra money on their insurance rates.
1. Working on your driving record. Consider your driving habits. Remain within the legal speed limit, do not take risks, and give yourself plenty of time to get where you're going to go. A good driving record can significantly affect the price of insurance.
2. You can increase the deductible (the amount you pay first, before the insurance kicks in on the claim). Would be wise to have the amount of your deductible in savings just in case.
3. Can go for long periods of time without making a claim on your policy may be eligible to claim your discount without. Check with your insurance provider.
4. Discounts can also be given if the feature car immobilizer or a satellite tracking device.

Yes, cheaper car insurance for women than men, in general. There is, though, in ways that even greater discounts that can be achieved and for men to take advantage of cheaper prices of women.
