A resident in Ukraine bore witness to the inventive (and dangerous) way one Kiev driver came up with to avoid a traffic jam. Watching the road from his apartment window the onlooker spotted a car reversing at speed for a few hundred metres, into oncoming traffic, in order to take an alternate route and bypass the hold up.
Ukraine is a large country in Eastern Europe known for its Orthodox churches, Black Sea coastline and forested mountains. Its capital, Kiev, features the gold-domed St. Sophia's Cathedral, with 11th-century mosaics and frescoes. Overlooking the Dnieper River is the Kiev Pechersk Lavra monastery complex, a Christian pilgrimage site housing Scythian tomb relics and catacombs containing mummified Orthodox monks.
While there is a seemingly endless number
of companies issuing auto insurance policies
these days, there are really just two ways to
buy car insurance: You can purchase a
policy in-person through an agent -- a
licensed individual who sells policies on
behalf of one or more insurance companies
-- or you can buy directly from an insurer via
Web site or telephone.Buying car insurance
online still accounts for a relatively small
portion of total auto insurance sales, but it's
increasing in popularity. According to a 2011
survey by the Internet marketing research
company ComScore, just 20 percent of new
auto insurance policies were purchased
online, compared to 43 percent purchased
from an agent. However, the number of
online purchases represents an increase of 5
percent from just two years earlier, while the
number of agent purchases represents a 6
percent decline. Additionally, a 2011 survey
by J.D. Power and Associates showed that
54 percent of new auto insurance owners
applied for a rate quote online, the first time
this has happened for a majority of
respondents [source: Insurance Information
