Do you want to save even much more? Then take note of the tips here (Affordable auto insurance and cheap auto insurance). For now I want to discuss the dangers of distracted driving...If you want to be eligible for cheaper rate quotes then you simply can't allow driver distractions. They come in different ways but then you can do something to keep them at the very minimum. Doing this will help you stay accident-free (One sure thing you need if you want your rate to stay low for long). Here are some things that you will do well to watch out for... i. Resist the temptation of eating and/or drinking while driving. As harmless as this might seem, it is a very dangerous practice. To buttress this point, imagine this... You are sipping hot coffee while driving off to work. Suddenly something happens and some of the hot coffee spills on you. Your reflexes kick in and you fumble to deal with the spill. Meanwhile you are driving at 60km/h. Without even thinking about it, you have taken your eyes off the road for about 6 long seconds. And, immediately you refocus your attention to the road, you see a broken down vehicle just a second away. What happens then all because of a hot cup of coffee at the wrong time? ii. Don't send or receive text messages while driving. This is especially important these days since most people have been programmed to pick up their phones once a message comes in. What could happen in the short seconds that you take your eyes off the road? If you are driving at about 60km/h and then take your eyes off the road for about 7 seconds you would have covered a distance that is longer than a standard football field. Just imagine the dangers you are exposing yourself to by NOT fixing your eyes on the road for that whole length of time. Let figures from experts (Virginia Tech Transportation Institute) do the talking... A "texting" driver is more likely to be involved in an accident by as much as 2300% when compared to an undistracted driver. If you think this is shocking, then consider the next... An undistracted driver can respond quickly to a road situation. He/she can respond within half a second. However, a drunk driver needs an additional four feet. But a driver who's sending a text message while driving needs as much as 70 feet to make the right response. In simple words, a texting driver is a bigger risk than a drunk driver. Think about it. Don't forget that you definitely can't maintain a low rate after filing a claim for a serious accident (That is, if you survive the crash). So do the wise thing and avoid anything that compromises your driving.
