Of all the fatal crashes that were examined in 2008, almost seventy percent of all persons killed were compact car drivers, twenty two percent were pickup truck drivers, and only about seventeen percent were SUV drivers. This statistic shows that there is a significantly lower rate of driver deaths for every 1 million registered vehicles of larger cars like SUVs and trucks.

Safety does come with a price tag though,Bottega Bags, since larger cars cost more to maintain and have less gas mileage. You may find car insurance rates for lower if you really shop around and compare quotes from leading providers. However, SUV's do have a higher chance of rolling over, but technology is advancing so that the car will be able to stabilize itself and not roll over in the chance of collision. Whatever the make of your larger vehicle, the overall balance is safer because bigger size and heavier weight attribute greater protection during a crash. Compare car insurance quotes to make sure you are fully insured and you will have greater peace of mind.

Since the recession hit, car owners have been trading in their bigger cars, trucks, and SUV's for smaller, more compact and gas efficient cars,http://bottegaveneta2013.webs.com/. However, what they don't know is that they may be cutting costs in terms of gas, but maybe some of the savings are being offset by increased safety risks and costs. Although bigger doesn't necessarily mean better when it comes to car,Bottega Veneta, there is one thing researchers can't deny - bigger does mean safer. Crash test have shown that there is a greater chance of survival for people who driver bigger cars than compact vehicles. Read on to find out more information on the relationship between the size of a car and its safety ratings.

Although there is no direct relationship between car size and auto insurance premiums, car insurance providers are constantly considering and factoring in your driving record, to the car's make, model, body type, and mileage when it comes to giving a car insurance quote,True Religion Jeans. The overall safety record of your car's model and make is also a very important factor,Celine Luggage Bags. Safety is a factor in which larger cars dominate over smaller compact vehicles. This is due to the fact that smaller cars have less structure and reinforcement. To put it simply, there is fewer bumpers to offset with collision impacts. Furthermore, less structure is there to physically protect the occupants inside. On the other hand, bigger cars like pickup trucks and SUV's have reportedly higher number of survivals when an accident does occur.


It's summer, the time when many of us think about cruising around the lake or hitting the open road. If that sounds like you, and you're in the market for a boat or RV, you may want to head to your local credit union for the best rates. They typically offer loan rates that will blow the competition out of the water.

They can do this because credit unions are owned by their members. When you join one, you become a member. This means you are more likely to be treated like a person and receive the type of service you desire. They are non-profit organizations. Unlike banks, credit unions are not in the business of trying to show a profit. In fact, any profit they make is distributed right back to its members in the form of dividends.

Banks, on the other hand, are in business to make a profit and are, therefore, always looking for new ways to charge fees and change policies to make themselves more profitable. This explains why they can pay higher rates on deposits, and charge lower rates on mortgages, auto loans, and boat or RV loans. They also assess fewer and smaller fees for their services.

Credit unions are exempt from most state and federal taxes. This is due to their non-profit status, and it represents one reason why they can keep fees lower and offer better rates to members,Bottega Veneta Bags.

Banks do not like credit unions. Many in the banking industry believe they have an unfair competitive advantage and they go out of their way to point out the disadvantages of credit unions in an attempt to persuade customers to stick with banks.

-Credit unions have membership requirements. While this is true, virtually anyone can qualify to join based on their place of residence, their employment or other associations they may belong to. Credit union ATM access is limited. In truth, most credit unions today offer either access to large networks of ATMs or reimburse members for ATM fees at out-of-network ATMs.

They are not insured by the FDIC as banks are. Credit unions actually have their own insurer, the National Credit Union Administration. The NCUA functions for them much like the FCIC does for banks. Deposits are backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government, and each account is insured for up to $100,000. Some credit unions even have their own private insurance with covers accounts up to $250,000.

How much can you save on a boat or RV loan? One recent survey shows on average that credit union rates are one to one-and-a-half percent lower than bank rates for boat/RV loans. Over the life of a loan, this could mean several thousands of dollars in savings. So, if you're looking for a loan to finance that new boat or RV purchase, remember to check with your credit union for the best rates around.

Among other ratings, smaller cars performed badly in terms of offset-frontal crash tests. Car safety reports suggest that sheer size contributes greatly to the performance and safety advantages of larger cars, making it safer for the occupants inside. Your chance of getting into a car accident almost immediately increases if you are driving a smaller car on the road since you are always surrounded by bigger cars and even 18 wheelers for that matter. With such prevalence of larger cars on the road, why put yourself at a disadvantage?
