MyKeyTM, another innovation from the company that introduced SYNC®, allows parents to limit speed and audio volume to encourage teens to drive safer and improve fuel efficiency.
Harris Interactive Survey shows that many parents would allow teens to drive more often if their vehicle was equipped with MyKey – helping young drivers build road safety experience.
MyKey will debut as a standard feature next year on the 2010 Ford Focus and will quickly be offered on many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models.
Make long-term care insurance a part of retirement planning

With RRSP season approaching, financial planners should take the opportunity to ensure their clients are prepared for all aspects of retirement, including the unexpected, according to Al Kinch at Desjardins Financial Security.
Speaking at the Independent Financial Brokers’ Fall Summit on Tuesday, Kinch said many people planning for retirement fail to consider the hefty costs associated with health care that can unexpectedly arise. This is increasingly becoming an issue since people are living longer, and their retirement savings must therefore last longer.

A client's teenage son backed into another car in a parking lot. There was no damage to our client's vehicle and only minor damage to the bumper of the other car. The Third Party (other person involved) agreed to let our client pay for the damage out of pocket. The Third Party went to a garage, got an estimate for repairs and wanted our client to pay her cash for the repairs. Our client refused to do this and advised that she would pay the garage directly for the repair. This was done and our insured thought the matter settled until she received a call from the other person's insurance company to verify her information and the details of the incident.
Our client, concerned and confused, immediately called our office to discuss. I advised her to call the other insurance company back and request that if the Third Party was going to claim through her insurance that she wanted a refund for the money she already paid to the garage to have the other car's damages repaired. The other insurance company was stunned. They were not aware that their client had already made an agreement with our client to have the damages repaired and that the garage had in fact already been paid for those repairs.
