A good business decision then, but now Rahul Bajaj is being haunted by his decision to allow Allianz to use the call option to hike stake in the life insurance joint venture to 74 per cent something which the markets have already punished his stock for and there is still no scope of a renegotiations.

Peer review: Insurance for no car may be needless

Q My daughter is paying her car insurance company a monthly fee of about $60 even though she no longer has a car. She said the company told her it would be cheaper for her to insure her next car if she continued coverage. She plans to get another car by year-end. Does this make any sense?JOHN, MINNEAPOLISA Generally insurers prefer to see continuous coverage. However, this assumes you continue to own a vehicle. If your daughter does not own a car and is not driving, most insurance carriers will not have a problem with a short period of time in which a driver does not own a car and therefore does not carry insurance. You begin to run into trouble if you own a car and it goes uninsured or if you go a long time without driving. For example, suppose your daughter sells her car and drops her auto insurance.

Seven Tips To Finding The Right Commercial Auto Policy

(NAPSI)-Finding a good deal on commercial auto insurance is about more than finding the lowest rate-it's about finding the best all-around coverage to suit your company's needs. Understanding what coverages and service options are available is the first step toward making better, more informed decisions so that you and your business are properly protected. Here are some tips from the experts at Progressive to help you find the right coverage, service and price: • Know the company you're dealing with-and its reputation for handling claims. Understand that you may pay more for "cheaper" coverage in the long run if the company lacks experience handling commercial auto claims. In business, vehicles need to be on the road-or you lose money. Insurance companies that don't specialize in commercial auto coverage often don't have their own claims representatives handling the process, so it may take longer to get vehicles back in service.

Situated on a more than 90 acres with one large building and a couple of outbuildings, the chop shop was a multimillion-dollar operation.

Police found rows of engines and vehicle parts.

Moore than meets the eye

You may think he's making movies about the US health system, guns or the Iraq war, but Michael Moore says the real subject of his films is the sickness in the American soul, writes Stephanie Bunbury.

Talking in Cannes about his latest film, Sicko, a slamming indictment of the all-for-profit health-care business in the United States, Moore certainly looks as if he has a few demons to fight.
