Kasey Kahne and Stop Texts, Stop Wrecks

Some of you may know Kasey Kahne as the driver of Nascar's #5 race car sponsored by Farmers Insurance.

Saw this on Facebook.  It does make the
point about texting and driving.

While he looks to set records for speed on the track, when on the road with the rest of us, driver's safety is paramount.

See his new public service announcement for "Stop Texts. Stop Wrecks." below.

Platinum Elite Marketing wishes you safe travels as you go to work, school, and out to have fun.  Please pull over to the side of the road if you really need to read or send a text message.

Our Farmers agents happily pay auto claims when we need to, but like you, we don't want to pay more often than we need to.  Please avoid distracted driving.

Even worse, we hate paying life insurance and auto insurance claims at the same time.

Securing Your Cell Phone From Identity Theft

I teach the California State Life Insurance Agent Pre-Licensing class.  The state tracks people by their Social Security Numbers.  I'm always surprised by the number of people (usually younger) who store their SS# on their cell phone.  When I have them fill out the registration forms, they flip open their phones to get their sensitive info.

Am I missing something here?  

When I saw this article, thought I'd pass it along.  Seems like cell phones, security, and identity theft prevention will be more and more something for us to be mindfull of...
