A newly licensed teen driver is probably more familiar with the rules of the road than you are. After all, he or she just took the test.

But many driving schools use a curriculum that has not been updated since the 1950s and requires only six to 10 hours of behind-the-wheel experience with an instructor. While graduated licensing programs have increased the number of supervised hours teens are driving, most of those hours are spent with parents, not a professional.

So what happens when your book-smart teen confronts real-world hazards? Car accidents.

Teens are four times more likely than adults to be involved in a car accident, the U.S.

It is a good practice to always review documents in detail before signing them. Courts usually enforce the terms of a document even if one party did not read and understand it before signing. One very important document to read and understand in the property insurance context is a settlement release. A proposed release often comes when a policyholder is happy to have a resolution and is eager to receive the settlement proceeds and move on. That eagerness should not distract policyholders from reviewing and understanding the terms of a release, since it is likely a binding contract.

A recent case concerning a release decided by a Louisiana Court demonstrates the consequences of a policyholder’s failure to understand the consequences of signing a release. I

While no fault auto insurance is one of the most generous and preferable types of insurance, it is only offered in a few states. I

The British government is considering a plan to prevent uninsured drivers from refueling their cars.

Thousands of license-plate recognition cameras, put in place to keep drivers from leaving gas stations without paying, would be repurposed to cross check plates against the government’s tax and insurance records. Without a match for both in the database, the pump would not operate.

It was a great experience. Very quick. I appreciate it. Very helpful.

The government decided to make use of its omnipresent closed-circuit television cameras after a presentation from accounting firm Ernst & Young, which would help implement the new system.

“The key to this is simplicity. C
