Reader’s Question:
Here in Seattle, WA, I noticed that most car insurance companies only write six month policies. Why is that? Is that regular practice? Is this the same in other states, as well?

A six month insurance policy is a regular practice among car insurance companies. Car insurance companies change their rates according to their appraisal of your risk factor. Insurance is about the company having your back when something happens to you, your car, the other car or the driver of the other car. Now, before they gave you a car insurance quote when you first applied for coverage there in Seattle, WA, they checked out your risk factor. They presented a quotation after checking several things out. A six month insurance policy allows insurance companies to recheck or revisit the status of your risk factor and make changes accordingly. They would check if your lifestyle has changed: has it mellowed down or have you taken up drag racing as a hobby. Knowing this, your premium may increase or decrease depending on the outcome of their appraisal. So basically, this can be beneficial for the policy holder, too.
Although, this gives the insurance company a chance to raise premium, this is also an opportunity for the policy holder to lower it. Long term policies are not welcomed by insurance companies as this can effectively immobilize them when the risk factor of a policy holder has increased in the middle of the policy term. If the lifestyle of a policy holder has not or does not change dramatically, then there is no cause for alarm over this six month insurance policy.

Reader’s Question:
I recently got my learner’s permit in Graham-Thrift Washington WA but my mom never lets me out without a chaperone and it is usually my older brother who is such a dork! What should I do to get rid of him?
Jesse
Graham-Thrift, WA
Well, am not sure that is such a good idea, Jesse. You see, you probably need him more than he needs you. I assume he is already a licensed driver and this is probably why he is tasked to chaperone you all the time. Drivers with learner’s permit are required to be accompanied by an authorized driver all the time. This is imposed in the other states and certainly it is imposed in Graham-Thrift Washington WA. Next, because you are not yet an authorized driver of the vehicle, (and your brother is) if anything happens to your car while you are behind the wheel, you will not be able to claim anything from the insurance company. I am sure that you wouldn’t want to pay for the damages, right? Rather than concentrate on how to escape your brother, you should focus on honing your skills and knowledge on driving and make sure that you know the relevant traffic rules in Graham-Thrift Washington WA. Once you are a fully licensed driver, given your improved skills, your mom will definitely include you as an authorized driver of the vehicle. It may not be that soon because it has some costs that go with the change. Do your part by researching how much it would cost your mom to add you as additional driver. help her by getting free quotes online which you can do by entering your zip code below.
