On Thursday, representatives from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety spoke about car size at an event. According to them, it is important to consider not only the fuel efficiency of a car, but the safety of it.
While small cars can be very fuel efficient, they are generally not as safe when involved in crashes with larger vehicles. Because of this, the representatives suggest taking this into account when buying a new car.

Unfortunately, there is no set legal definition of predatory lending. However, it can generally be seen as a lender taking advantage of a borrower through excessive interest rates or other means.
Generally, the loan will have collateral against it so that the lender can repossess it in the event of the borrower defaulting. This type of lending is harmful to the borrower and is illegal. If you would like to know more about the subject, click here.
