General Tips
for Reducing Automobile Losses
·
Drive
within the speed limit. People who speed have a lot more accidents. Also, don’t
drive too slow, you’ll be surprised how many slow drivers get into accidents!
Police give tickets for this as well! Be aware of your surroundings at all
times, follow the flow of traffic and be cautious of other drivers not paying
attention around you.
·
Take
a defensive driving course. Not only do some auto insurance companies provide
discounts but you will be a better driver and have less chances of being
involved in an accident.
·
If
you have teenage drivers, give them many more hours of behind the wheel
practice than they normally would take at driver education classes.
·
Do
NOT drink and drive. Use a designated driver at all times or call a taxi. Be
safe and don’t push it.
·
Always
wear a seatbelt, and insist that your passengers do too.
·
Equip
your car with all the optional safety equipment – antilock brakes, air bags,
safety tires, back up cameras, and even front sensors. Some of these safety
features result in premium credits as well.
·
Get
into the habit of locking your car. You’ll prevent more thefts than you can
imagine this way, even if you’re going into the gas station for a candy bar.
