<h1>Identity Theft Protection and Prevention</h1><p>You get a call from your bank asking you to verify a purchase made at a Walmart in Wisconsin for $217. The only problem? You’re sitting on your couch in Texas. It sounds like you’ve been a victim of financial identity theft. Someone has obtained your personal banking or credit card information and attempted to make a purchase in your name. Thankfully, your bank thought a one-off purchase in Wisconsin when all your other transactions were made in Texas seemed fishy and alerted you to the problem before any real damage was done. But that isn’t always the case. <br/><br/>The <a href='https://www.javelinstrategy.com/content/2021-identity-fraud-report-shifting-angles-identity-fraud' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>2021 Identity Fraud Study</a> reported that identity fraud cost consumers $56 billion in 2020.</p><h2><strong>What Is Identity Theft?</strong></h2><p>Identity theft is when someone other than you uses your personal information like your name, credit card number, or social security number to commit fraud. They can obtain your information in a variety of ways, including:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Physical theft</strong>: The act of physically stealing your wallet or purse containing a credit card, driver’s license, or social security card.</p></li><li><p><strong>Credit card skimming</strong>: A thief can place a device known as a card skimmer over any card reader to collect your credit card information. This is especially common at gas stations.</p></li><li><p><strong>Phishing</strong>: An email that appears to be from a legitimate source that attempts to capture personal information.</p></li><li><p><a href='https://www.life360.com/learn/what-is-a-data-breach?icid=learn_identitytheft_nz' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'><strong>Data breach</strong></a>: When someone accesses stored information without permission. <a href='https://pages.riskbasedsecurity.com/hubfs/Reports/2020/2020%20Q3%20Data%20Breach%20QuickView%20Report.pdf' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>Risk Based Security</a> determined that 36 billion records were compromised by data breaches from January through September of 2020.</p></li></ul><p>Once someone has your personal information, they can, depending on what information they have, access your bank account, open new credit cards, claim your tax refund, and use your health insurance, among other things.</p><h2><strong>7 Tips for Preventing Identity Theft</strong></h2><p>When you think about it, you use your personal information in a lot of different ways every single day. And every single time you make that information available, you increase the risk of identity theft. Fortunately, there are some easy things everyone can do to minimize the likelihood of identity theft.</p><h3><strong>1. Sign up for an identity protection service</strong></h3><p>An identity protection service is a great way to help keep your identity safe. While they are usually subscription-based, they offer features like credit monitoring and username and password monitoring, and they can even scan the dark web for instances of your personal information. These services will alert you of any issues and often cover funds lost.</p><h3><strong>2. Run your credit reports</strong></h3><p>You are entitled to one free credit report every year from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus – Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. You should make running your credit report a regular habit so you can catch anything unusual that may indicate identity theft. Stagger your reports throughout the year so you are always within a few months of having run a report.</p><h3><strong>3. Don’t reuse your passwords</strong></h3><p>Each password you use for an online account should be unique. They should also be difficult to guess by containing letters, numbers, and special characters and be longer than 10-15 characters. Avoid using real words or personally identifiable information. Never write your passwords down. A password manager is a helpful tool that can track all of your passwords for you as well as suggest complex passwords when you need to create a new password.</p><h3><strong>4. Be wary of uninitiated phone calls</strong></h3><p>Don’t give out personal information over the phone. Even if you’re fairly certain it’s your bank on the other line, it’s always a good idea to tell the person you’ll contact the bank directly from a number you have. Don’t fall for threats, no matter how persistent the person is. The IRS will never call you, and no one needs access to your computer.</p><h3><strong>5. Shred those documents</strong></h3><p>Shred any documents with personally identifiable information on them. Credit card statements, explanation of benefits, utility bills. Identity thieves will go through the trash looking for information they can use to steal your identity. If you don’t have a personal shredder, check whether your community has a regular shred day so you can safely dispose of your documents.</p><h3><strong>6. Don’t overshare on social media</strong></h3><p>We’ve all seen the fun challenges on Facebook – your first car plus your dog’s name is your rockstar name. Jeep Sprinkles? Or are those two potential security question answers I just shared with everyone? Be vigilant for anything that encourages you to share personal information. No one needs to know your grandmother’s name, the street you grew up on, or what the first concert you went to was.</p><h3><strong>7. Freeze your credit</strong></h3><p>Freezing your credit essentially prevents anyone from accessing your credit information. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name because creditors cannot verify your credit. To freeze your credit, you need to contact each of the three credit bureaus and request a credit freeze. You will be given a PIN should you need to unfreeze your credit when applying for a legitimate loan or line of credit. You can also freeze a child’s credit, which helps prevent child identity theft.</p><h3><strong>8. Don’t click that link</strong></h3><p>Never click on a link from an unknown source. It could download malicious software that captures personal information. And be extra cautious of phishing attempts. An email may appear to come from a known source, but the link you need to click has something slightly off about it. Hover over any links before clicking them to determine where they lead. Is there an extra letter in the URL? Are they using a .co instead of a .com? If you’re ever unsure about a URL, go to the website in question directly by typing a known URL into the address bar.</p>

How to Prevent Identity Theft in 7 Ways

<h1>10 Driving Tips with Road Safety Essentials</h1><p>Whether you’re a driver, passenger, bicyclist, or pedestrian, <a href='https://www.life360.com/roadside-assistance-plans?icid=learn_roadsafety_us' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>road safety</a> is important. According to the Association for Safe International Road Travel, more than 38,000 people die every year as a result of car accidents in the U.S., and these accidents are the number one cause of death for people under the age of 55. Fortunately, many of these accidents are preventable with the adoption of <a href='/en-nz/driving-safety' target='_self'>driving safety</a> measures and an increase in awareness of these measures.</p><h2><strong>Why Is Road Safety Important?</strong></h2><p>Safety is freedom from harm or danger, so road safety is essentially that same freedom while using the road. You can do your part to maintain it in a lot of different ways like always wearing a seatbelt, staying alert when behind the wheel, and following all posted road signs. <br/><br/>Road safety can actually save lives, which makes it something everyone should strive to include in their day-to-day activities.<br/><br/>This article will dive into how to practice road safety within different areas. We’ll cover distracted driving, bicycle safety, and child passenger safety, among other important topics. If you’d like to take a deeper dive into any of these topics, just click on the above links to get started.</p><h3>Peace of mind starts with location sharing.</h3><p><strong>Know where they are without asking.<br/><br/></strong>See when they get home from school, leave work, or start warming up on the practice field. When you’re all busy doing your thing, Life360 keeps you in the know.<br/><br/><a href='/en-nz/plans-pricing/?icid=learn_roadsafety_us' target='_self'>Try Life360 for free!</a><br/></p><img src='https://images.ctfassets.net/nywvtjnh7p05/wp_media_post_36598_location-safety-hero-min-2/55f7d65e3fbacfa81ae2eb766d9f3480/location-safety-hero-min-2.png' alt='[Blog] WP Image post_36598_location-safety-hero-min-2' title='[Blog] WP Image post_36598_location-safety-hero-min-2' /><h2><br/><br/>Weather Makes Driving Dangerous</h2><p>Dangerous weather accounts for a substantial number of car accidents in the United States. Weather related accidents account for 15% of fatal crashes and 19% of injury crashes every year. According to <a href='https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/weather/q1_roadimpact.htm' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>the United States Department of Public Transportation</a>, the average annual number of accidents, injuries, and fatalities caused by the weather were:</p><ul><li><p>1,235,145 accidents</p></li><li><p>418,005 persons injured</p></li><li><p>5,376 persons killed</p></li></ul><h2><strong>10 Road Safety Tips for Driving Safe</strong></h2><h3><strong>1. Watch Your Speed</strong></h3><p><a href='https://www.life360.com/blog/life360-speeding-tickets/?icid=learn_roadsafety_us' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>Speeding</a> is a leading cause of traffic accidents. The faster you’re driving, the more likely you are to cause a collision.</p><h3><strong>2. Put Your Phone Down</strong></h3><p>Studies have found that accidents are connected to the use of technology in the car — especially the use of phones. When looking at Crash Detection occurrences, a phone event (distraction) was found in 88% of those occurrences. Additionally, almost half (46%) of survey respondents felt that more technology in the car has made driving more distracting, and of that group, 76% said screens (smartphones) were the most distracting piece of technology.</p><h3>3. Never Drive Impaired</h3><p>The figures speak for themselves as to how dangerous drinking under the influence is. Drunk driving results in the death of 29 people every day in the U.S. Despite that, a study found that <a href='https://americanaddictioncenters.org/learn/drunk-driving-statistics-in-america' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>30% of respondents believed they were fine to drive after drinking</a>. </p><h3><strong>4. Always Wear Your Seatbelt</strong></h3><p>Seat belts save lives. According to the NHTSA, <a href='https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/812683' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>seat belts saved 14,955 lives</a> in 2017.</p><h3><strong>5. Drive Cautiously in Bad Weather</strong></h3><p>Bad weather leads to bad driving conditions. It’s as simple as that. Being aware of the dangers of changing road conditions caused by weather and taking extra caution can help you and your loved ones avoid accidents. </p><h3><strong>6. Mind Rules of the Road While Cycling</strong></h3><p>Cars aren’t the only vehicles on the road. <a href='https://www.life360.com/learn/bicycle-safety-how-to-stay-safe-when-riding-your-bike' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>Bicycle safety</a> is very much a part of road safety. Unfortunately, <a href='https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and-community/safety-topics/bicycle-deaths' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>preventable accidents to cyclists continue to rise year-on-year</a>, and 712 bicyclists died in vehicle collisions in 2019.</p><h3><strong>7. Keep Small Children in Car Seats</strong></h3><p>Whether it’s your infant in a traditional car seat or your older child in a booster, children up to age twelve or a height of 4 foot 9 inches should typically be buckled into some sort of car seat in the back seat of the car.</p><h3><strong>8. Walk on Sidewalks When Possible</strong></h3><p>Pedestrians use the road too. In 2019, the NHTSA found that <a href='https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813060' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>6205 pedestrians were killed in driving collisions</a>. Using designated sidewalks is an important part of pedestrian safety.</p><h3><strong>9. Maintain Your Vehicle</strong></h3><p>Windshield wiper fluid, oil, gas. Make sure all your levels are topped up, and your tires look good before getting on the road.</p><h3><strong>10. Follow Road Signs and Rules</strong></h3><p>Traffic rules and posted signs exist to keep you safe. Ignoring them can result in a collision</p><h2><strong>How to Improve Road Safety</strong></h2><h3><strong>Improving Road Design</strong></h3><p>The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) routinely makes recommendations to government agencies on upgrades they can make to roads to decrease the number of accidents each year. Some of the most popular recommendations include:</p><ul><li><p>Adding median barriers: Median barriers are barriers between opposing traffic on a highway. <a href='https://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/provencountermeasures/median_barrier' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>FHWA</a> saw a 97% reduction in cross-median crashes when they were installed on rural four-lane freeways.</p></li><li><p>Installing roundabouts: Replacing traffic signals with roundabouts significantly reduces the number of collisions. The <a href='https://www.iihs.org/topics/roundabouts' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>Insurance Institute for Highway Safety</a> found reductions in injury crashes of more than 72% when traffic signals and stop signs were replaced with roundabouts in the U.S.</p></li><li><p>Adding rumble strips: Rumble strips cause your car to vibrate and make a loud noise when you either cross over the center or edge line of a road, which can happen if you are distracted or drowsy.</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Improving Technology</strong></h3><p>Technology is improving everywhere we look, and the road is no exception. From inside your car to on your smart device, there are countless new ways to keep yourself safe when you get in your car.</p><ul><li><p>Safety electronics: In-car technology has grown leaps and bounds since its inception. What started out as seatbelts has evolved into automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and lane departure warning systems.</p></li><li><p>Apps: There are numerous apps out there designed to help make your driving experience safer. Whether they prevent you from sending text messages, transmit your location to family members, or track behaviors such as speeding, you can use apps to make sure you arrive at your destination safe and sound.</p></li></ul><h3><strong>Improving Driver Education</strong></h3><p><a href='https://www.life360.com/learn/how-old-driver-license/?icid=learn_roadsafety_us' target='_blank' title='Opens in a new tab'>Driver education</a> is how most of us learn the rules of the road. Improving this education to include things like computer-based training could enable us to experience and react to hazards and crashes in real time. Increasing the amount of on-road instruction drivers receive could also reduce the likelihood of future accidents. And don’t worry if it has been a while since you’ve taken driver’s ed, there are many defensive driving courses offered especially for seniors.</p><h2><strong>Share the Road Safely with Life360</strong></h2><p>Cars.
