Answer by jmartinez562
AVON is a good and solid business to start. Ebay is another,but you would have to have a real interest in anything you start because there MUST be passion. I would first write down on a piece of paper all the things you would do with your time if you never had to work a day in your life. Just write them down. Not all can convert into a home based business,but at least one will. Find your passion first then work around that.

How to get auto insurance from a state that your college is in rather than your resident state?

with 2 comments

Question by Kurt: How to get auto insurance from a state that your college is in rather than your resident state?
I live in New Jersey where the auto insurance is relatively expensive. However, I go to college in South Carolina where the auto insurance is a lot cheaper than in New Jersey. How can I get the cheaper South Carolina auto insurance? Do I need a South Carolina driver’s license to do this? Should I buy a car from a South Carolina dealership?

Best answer:

Answer by David
You can’t legally–you have to register and insure the car in your state of legal residence, in this case NJ. However, call your agent and check into a “college” rate–many companies give a discount if you’re at school over a certain distance from home. That may help.

Question by …….: What are some good business tips to get my…..?
art recognized and selling more? I do have a website and I do have some paintings hanging in some art galleries but I want them to really be known.

Here is a peek, Treasurechestart.com

Answer by Tech.Proj.Management Degree
If you want your pantings to be known, start a blog. You do not need a website and you can get a free blog at http://www.blogger.com/. This will increase your ratings online and you’ll be known as an expert. Write rich, keyword content. Also, place your information somewhere on that site so they can contact you about seeing your paintings. Try to write 2-4 blogs per week and I guarantee you will see a difference. Good Luck to you!!

Automotive Question Car accident?

with 5 comments

Question by phattygirl: Car accident?
I was in a car accident. I have a nissan 200sx, 1997. My lheadlights on one side were busted, my grill was busted and my radiator was damaged and is now leaking. My hood is bent up slightly. Do you think the insurance company will pay for this damage or total the car out. There wasnt much damage done, just front end and the frame is not bent. How much do u think costs will be to fix this damage, estimates, and no stupid answers.

Ps. the car still runs, starts and drives well. All the lighting works…just need a new radiator and basic bumper repair and hood repair and a new grill

Best answer:

Answer by James C
Insurance will fix your car if for them it’ll cost less than what it would to get a replacement. From the sounds of the damage, I would say they’ll just fix it.

Automotive Question Can the auto insurance company pay me directly for my medical expenses or do they have to pay the doctor?

with 2 comments

Question by Lorraine: Can the auto insurance company pay me directly for my medical expenses or do they have to pay the doctor?
I was in an auto accident and I have medical insurance. My medical insurance covered my medical expenses; however, I wanted to know if the auto insurance is still liable for those expenses? It seems as if my having medical insurance should benefit me and not the liable party’s auto insurance company. If I did not have medical insurance the auto insurance company would still have to pay for those expenses. So shouldn’t they still have to pay for those expenses and I get what ever is left that my medical insurance company did not pay? Are there any laws statures that back this up in Georgia? I am trying to settle this claim without getting an attorney and I need all the help I can get. Any advice would be helpful. I am in the process of writing a demand letter. Thanks for all the help.

Best answer:

Answer by Diane A
Yes and no. The medical bills should be refunded to you by the other person’s medical insurance if they were found at fault. Have your lawyer (or you) send a demand letter w/ a copy of the medical bills (before insurance took care of the cost). Then you will receive a ck from the auto insurance company to you for your bills.

Answer by lady23
start by knowing your potential market and also by looking for a good place to put up your business. putting up business isnt as easy as it may seem it requires alot of study and time consuming. if you really are into it you should do some feasibility studies about it so you’ll get to know more about your potential market and other factors that might affect your planned business. you can also ask advices from people who are engage in the same kind of business and learned about how they mange and how they’ve started.

Recipes For Car Crashes And Road Accidents

Recipes For Car Crashes And Road Accidents

 

 

When the term “Car” came into existence, little did people know that it will give birth to a host of other terms like Car Crashes and Road Accidents. Even now, in this day and age of highly evolved automobiles that offer numerous safety features, the number of road accidents and the number of resulting fatalities are actually on the increase.

 

If you are an avid follower of the daily news, whether on TV or through the print media, you would notice that hardly a day goes by when there is no news about someone being involved in a car crash. In fact, such news is so common now that we don’t even treat it as news anymore and there usually is a dedicated section for such happenings in the morning paper and the news on TV. To make the case grim, there are minor accidents that don’t even get reported.

 

There will never be a clear cut reason for road accidents. Even a minor lapse in concentration on one’s part can result in a car crash that might end up involving other vehicles and even pedestrians. You can do everything right while driving a car and still some irresponsible and reckless driver might bump his vehicle into yours. The worst thing is that even if you don’t have a car, you might still end up being involved in a car accident.

 

In this case, remember that road accidents can still be avoided by following some simple driving rules and keeping your eyes open and your mind alert whilst on the road. Let’s take a look at some of the basic causes for road disasters.

 

Reckless driving habits and Absent Mindedness is one of the chief contributors to this menace. Some people just do not care about anyone else on the road when they are at the steering wheel. Carelessness is definitely the cause for most driving mishaps. When you are driving a vehicle, you should only focus on the road and everything else around you should be secondary. While driving, talking on the mobile phone, fiddling with the car stereo and thinking about personal issues are the most likely causes for a lapse in concentration that may result in an accident.

 

Then there is the menace of drunk driving and underage drivers. Alcohol, even if taken in lesser quantities, impairs sensory perceptions in humans. If your senses are not functioning properly, you can’t even control your own self let alone a vehicle. Drunk drivers usually drive fast to experience thrills and that’s when most accidents take place. Underage drivers don’t have the sense of judgment of an adult and that is why there is an age limit for driving in the first place. Underage drivers without an accompanying guide or proper training also contribute immensely towards road accidents.

 

Badly maintained vehicles that are not road-worthy are the ones that you will mostly find involved in accidents. Your car is a machine and if this machine is not maintained properly and looked after well, it can let you down where it matters the most, i.e. on the road. Brake failures, tire failures, clutch and steering problems are some of the basic part failures in cars that can be avoided by getting your vehicle serviced on time and by maintaining it properly. A little bit of care for your own vehicle can prevent you from being involved in a precarious situation on the road. An accident due to your ill-maintained vehicle is your own fault and by your negligence you are endangering your own life along with that of others on the road.

 

There are lights in the exterior of your vehicle for a reason other than cosmetic appeal. They are there to allow you to see in low-light conditions and also allow others to see your vehicle in the process. There is an undeniable relationship between night-driving and accidents on the road. The obvious reason for that being decreased visibility. If you have faulty lights in your vehicle you might end up being involved in an accident. Make sure all lights in your vehicle are functioning properly to ensure a safe run on the streets in low visibility conditions.

 

A bit of care and restraint while driving and sense of driving rules can go a long way in avoiding catastrophes on the road. Remember that a road mishap may not entirely be your fault but you could still find yourself involved in one. That is why it is imperative to spread the message of safe driving practices across to everyone.

 

Let’s make roads safer!
