Teen Driving: Prom Night

Each year during this time, spring prom season, various tragic car accidents claim the lives of unwilling teenagers. Annually, newspapers and evening news programs note that drink and driving, speeding, inattentive, distracted driving cause these fatal crashes. In fact, car accidents are the number one killer of American teenagers, and a large percentage of these crashes are preventable. Ultimately, most teen driving accidents are caused by some form of driver error.
The risks of these devastating accidents increase from late March into June as teens embrace the celebratory season of prom, spring break, high school graduation, and the start of summer break. These events often mean cars full of lively distracting passengers, drugs and alcohol, loud music, and heightened cell phone usage. All of these distractions can and do lead to fatal consequences, so it is extremely important that teenage drivers (and passengers) take preventive measures to avoid crashes.

Types of Tax Haven Arrangements and Offshore Tax Planning Misconceptions

The number of tax haven countries and territories that are available in the world is on the decline as more and more countries are signing international treaties that will allow them to share the financial information between them and this will bring transparency to the financial transactions that are done across the globe. In general, using such countries and territories was considered as an offshore planning exercise by many, but the fact is that it not regular tax planning but an aggressive one and will be considered to be a form of tax evasion.
Tax Haven Arrangements
There are different arrangements that are possible when it comes to the use of such havens and some of them are being reviewed by the Canadian Revenue Agency.
• Tax Shelters - This is a sort of a gifting arrangement or acquiring a property where the tax benefits that are available to you will be equal to or more than the cost that you have had to spend for it.
• Offshore Investment Entities - These are companies that are located in tax haven countries and are used to reroute the investments and it is done to delay the taxation that one will have to pay for the income that is earned from these investments. It is wrongly attributed to offshore tax planning and is in fact a type of aggressive planning.

Statutory Rape Law in Florida

Even though movies like Manhattan and Lolita have managed to glamorize an older adult having sex with teenagers, this is still statutory rape and it is criminal. Statutory rape consists of sexual intercourse, which is why it is against the law because of the age of the victim. The law has made the determination that consensual sex cannot be given from an individual that is too young to understand. Statutory rape is considered a "strict liability" crime. This means the rapist cannot use ignorance of the person's age as a defense, even a bona fide belief of the victim being "old enough" is not a defense. In addition, if the victim lies about their age, this is still not a defense.
16 & 17 Year Olds
According to Florida law, 18 is the age of consent. Florida Statute § 794.05, explains that young people who have sexual relationships with people who are younger than 24, the statutory rape law will not apply. The statutory rape law is more concerned with adults over the age of 24 who have sex with young people who are 16 and 17 years of age. Florida law does however recognize the fact that 16 and 17 year old teens do have consensual sex with people who are close to their own age.

The majority of drivers in the UK assume that they are fully protected by their basic comprehensive insurance. This is incorrect.
If in the unfortunate case your vehicle is written off or stolen, you will receive a settlement payment from your basic comprehensive insurer. This payment will be based on the market value of your vehicle at the time it was written off or stolen. Please note that this value will not represent what you originally paid for your vehicle.
Why? This is because of vehicle depreciation. Industry experts claim that the average vehicle will deprecate by up to 50% in its first three years. In order words, in the first three years, your vehicle will lose 50% of its value.

Personal Injury Claim - Importance Of Medical Evidence

When making a personal injury claim, it is essential to provide medical report from an independent expert. Some of the main reasons for this include:
• To identify the extent and severity of the injuries sustained in the accident
• To consider what medical treatment will be required as well as the need for further investigation if there are ongoing symptoms
• To assist in valuing the compensation claim
In most of the personal injury cases, medical report from one medical expert is sufficient. However, for the more complex cases such as those arising from serious injuries, a number of medical reports may be necessary. This ensures that an accurate picture of the whole scenario is obtained before the compensation claim is valued. Moreover, it eliminates the risk of under-settling a compensation claim which appears to be a common problem with unqualified and inexperienced people who try to deal with such cases.
