      Modern passenger vehicles are well-designed to help drivers avoid collisions. Sightlines are maximized, side and rear view mirrors are provided, and even blind spot sensors are installed in these vehicles.

      Although these features help motorists while the vehicle is in drive, there are still problems when the vehicle is in the reverse gear. Even if drivers use their mirrors and/or turn around to look behind them, they are still at risk of causing a collision.

        It’s pretty well-known that excessive speed is one of the most common factors found to cause motor vehicle collisions. That’s why states, counties, and cities tend to crack down on people who are driving too fast by issuing speeding tickets.

        But what about the other end of the spectrum? Is it possible to drive too slow on a roadway?

            3 minute read

            There are so many different things that make Michigan unique. Like the fact that it’s split into two parts. Or its vast expanse of forests, lakes, and rivers. Or that it’s the birthplace of Motown, the U.S. auto industry, and the Peace Corps. But if you have to get from the LP to the UP and back again, or drive anywhere along Michigan’s roads and highways, then you have to have auto insurance.

            Is Michigan Auto Insurance Expensive or Inexpensive?

            Everyone in Michigan is required to maintain basic no-fault auto insurance, which pays for injuries you sustain in an accident regardless of who is at fault. This insurance is made up of personal injury protection, property protection, and residual bodily injury/property damage liability insurance. This latter policy must have minimum limits of $20,000 bodily injury per person, $40,000 bodily injury per accident, and $10,000 property damage.

              There’s an undeniable truth in the U.S.: a large number of Americans simply don’t like to clean.

              As a result, countless innovations have been made in this nation that serve to mitigate or eliminate this pesky chore. It began with automatic clothes washers and dishwashers and then progressed to self-cleaning ovens and windows. There are even self-cleaning public bathrooms in some places.
