Holiday revelry, Holiday Hustle and Harried Bargain Hunters during the Holiday season makes for distracted drivers. We, at Insurance Answers, want to help you avoid the aggravations that can result in making poor judgment when behind the wheel.
Our first suggestion would be to “Get a plan”. If you are at a party, get a Designated Driver ! Or program a Taxi Service in your Phone. A taxi ride will never equal the cost of your Insurance Premium rising as a result of a ticket or worse yet, a DUI. Insurance rates can double as a result of a DUI .
Shopping?? Know your route; there is a lot of traffic in and around the shopping malls. Shopping mall accidents are a large portion of claims this time of year. Park at the least popular store or walk off holiday cookies by parking in the back of the lot.
Drive the speed limit and be patient. Remember the reason for the season. Youthful, inexperienced drivers are out of school on break; tourists are in from out of town and may not know where they are going. Again, being in a hurry can result in an accident or worse yet injury. Slow down, breathe…
We have no control over the fates, but being cautious, courteous and composed may hopefully prevent Santa from bringing you a lump of coal under the Christmas Tree, or worse yet, a chat with the Police Officer and ticket, too.
Please let us know if these suggestions were helpful. Post some of your tips to help others navigate their way through the Holidays safely.
Insurance Answers wishes you a Accident and Ticket-free Christmas and New Year!
