Types of Car Collisions You Should Know Before Getting Auto Collision Insurance
Auto collision insurance is one of the most common insurance policies people opt to buy, yet few really understand how it works. Their lack of knowledge is often because they do not fully understand what car collision is. Knowing the different types of car collisions can help car owners know how auto collision insurance may work to their benefit.
One type of car collision is called predetermined fault. This means that there is one driver who is specifically at fault because his negligence is very apparent based on the scene of an accident. If accident reports indicate that the other driver is at predetermined fault, you have a big chance of winning claims from your auto collision insurance.
Predetermined fault is classified into two main scenarios. First is rear-end collision and second is left-turn collision.
In rear-end collision, the driver of the car at the rear is always at fault. It is very seldom that a rear car driver will win this situation. It is a basic driving rule anywhere in the world to always keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Even if the front car suddenly lost his brakes, if you were not tailing too close, then you would not have collided with the front car.
However, there are exceptions to this rule also. For example, if the front car’s brake lights are dead and you are driving at night, there is a big possibility that you have not seen it and therefore you hit the brakes too late. In this case, your insurance company will be quite lenient.
On the other hand, left-turn collision happens when one car turning left hit a car driving straight on the road. In this case, the driver who is at predetermined fault is the one making a left turn. It is a universal driving rule that any car turning left should give way to cars going straight. Car damage resulting from left-turn collision is quite obvious such that the negligent driver could hardly buy his way out of the situation.
However, there are also exceptions to left-turn collision. One clear example is if a driver going straight beat a red light. The left turner can always argue that it was his time to turn. In this case, the driver going straight is the negligent one. However, unfortunately, this is hard to prove if no one witnessed this scene.
Filing for claims in your auto collision insurance will depend largely if you were at fault in the accident or not, especially if you did not get a full coverage insurance.
10 Auto Insurance Myths You Should Know About
Never a Total Disaster with Gap Insurance
They that the most frightening accident that could happen to your car is one that leaves it an unmanageable wreck at the time when you have not yet even paid a fourth of its entire price. This is why, just like many motorists who pay through loans or leases, you usually double your fretting when driving through a busy thoroughfare with a ride that is just fresh out of the car company’s lot. That is understandable, especially if you do not have gap insurance.
Your car, no matter how new it is, is fated to undergo what almost all things must suffer: depreciation. By the time you drive out of the lot to bring your newly bought car home, the depreciation counter begins to tick. In three months, it would already slash off 20% to 30% from the original price. To get an idea of how much your car has depreciated; have it evaluated by your insurance company. The result may indeed surprise you. You would dread more the possibility of a vehicular accident, especially one that leaves your car ‘totaled’, incurring damages, which repairs would cost more than your car’s actual worth.

Theft and accidents like fire and flood that may result into your car being totaled can be such a disaster if you have not completed payments. Your insurance, after considering the depreciation cost, may just provide you with an amount much less than what you actually owe. That is even if it provides you with full coverage. The next big problem would be paying for the difference. Your most probable step would be getting it straight from your pocket. With today’s economic problems, that can certainly be cruel to your budget. However, without gap insurance, you may have no other choice.

A scheme that also covers the difference or the gap between the actual worth and the purchasing price of the car can be any car owner’s wish. That is, precisely, how gap insurance works. If ‘total’ disaster occur, it pays for the difference, the amount that the ordinary insurance would not cover but the car company would still seek. Some firms who offer this would even cover for the regular insurance fees. For collisions that may be blamed on you, however, it would deduct the corresponding collision fees from the amount you are going to receive.
Many firms offer gap insurance along with the entire insurance package for your car. However, some also give it as an option for the car owner. Since it is an important feature, you should ask your insurance company about it and get one if you do not have any.

2006 10Best Winners and Losers – Winner: GM’s “Employee Discount for Everyone” – Car and Driver
"This is a good resolution to what was a challenging set of issues," assured GM CEO Rick Wagoner, whose nose suddenly grew nine inches. Of course, it’s not as if GM walked away feeling
fleeced or anything. In return for its $2 billion, GM was awarded half of a factory in Poland that makes a 1.3-liter diesel engine.
Winner: Last June, GM launched its "Employee Discount for Everyone" program, allowing customers to buy vehicles at the prices GM employees would pay. The result: July sales shot up by almost 47 percent compared with the same month in 2004, making it the General’s best month since September 1986.

Their hands thus forced, Ford and DaimlerChrysler followed suit, which, in turn, made July the biggest-volume sales month in the 109-year history of the U.S. auto industry. It also resulted in the bizarre pairing of Lee Iacocca and Snoop Dogg in TV commercials.
Although the scheme was successful, it cost the Big Three a ton of profits. On the other hand, it
did improve sagging morale and helped all three clear out inventories that had been clogging dealers’ lots for months. Then Hurricane Katrina came along and unclogged a few herself.
