Driving safely is one of the best ways to get discount car insurance. Here are the Top 10 Tips for lowering your care insurance payments.
1. Seat Belts: Worn and worn correctly are still the best way to protect motorists in the even of an accident.
2. No Distractions: Kids, backseat drivers, the radio, DVD player, phones, etc; turn that noise down and concentrate on the road.
3. Breakdown Lanes are for Breakdowns: The shoulder of the road is a dangerous spot; use it only when you must and don’t linger.
4. Maintenance: Check the tires and the engine regularly to avoid breakdowns and accidents.
5. Steer with Both Hands: It’s not cool looking or comfortable, but using both hands to steer, positioned at 10 and 2, is safest.
6. Awake at the Wheel: Over-tired drivers cause serious accidents; if you’re too tire to drive, don’t.
7. Stay Off the Phone: There are few things more distracting to a driver; it’s even illegal in some areas.
8. Bad Weather Driving: Learn the skills necessary to drive in poor weather and use caution when doing so.
9. Don’t Tailgate: Not only is it rude, it’s dangerous not to have enough stopping room.
10. Take Care at Intersections: Look both ways and be aware that other driver’s might not be.
