Safe Driving Can Reduce Your Auto Insurance Premiums

12/23/2016

Picture
Here in Miami there are two types of drivers: aggressive and defensive. Aggressive drivers are those who’d rather step on the gas at an intersection even if they’re unsure of the speed of the oncoming cars. Meanwhile, defensive drivers would rather wait until they’re certain that they can enter the roadway safely. Can you guess which one of them gets into an accident often?
​

Defensive drivers are not risky drivers. They DON’T over speed, tailgate, beat traffic lights, change lanes suddenly, and (most importantly) drive under the influence. Defensive driving is the key to safer roads and highways. But if protecting your life and other motorists’ lives aren’t enough, let’s add in an extra benefit: it helps you save money on car insurance!

How does defensive driving help with your car insurance rates?

Non-defensive driving will always lead to imperfect driving record. Whether you’re only getting a parking ticket or you’ve caused a minor fender-bender, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll get an increased insurance rate the next time you’ll receive a bill.

If you’ve always had a good driving record and you now got a violation, chances are you’ll face a 45% increase on your insurance premiums. That’s because drivers with clean records get a “good driver’s discount,” reducing their premiums up to 45%. But even with a minor violation, this generous discount will disappear into thin air.

So the next time you’re planning of changing lanes without signaling, think about how much money you’ll lose and ask yourself whether it’s worth it.

However, if you already have a tarnished driving record, you must not give up hope. Rather, start driving defensively now. If you manage to keep a clean record for at least three years, you may then be eligible for a good driver discount.

As soon as you know that your driving record is cleared, the best way to find cheap auto insurance is to contact an independent agency to compare insurance policies from different insurers. Bear in mind that no discounts are equal, so it’s best that you compare quotes between one company to another. Find out which company offers the best rate for your needs. So drive safely and shop around.

I do agree with the author. I would like to tell that defensive driving always offers a great way to save money on car insurance. Yes, defensive driving not only saves your life but also saves your wallet. By driving defensively, you can be able to a maintain a good driving history which will help you to avail some discounts while paying the insurance premiums. Again defensive driving does not stress the engine too much and increases the overall fuel-efficiency of the automobile. Thus, if you want to reduce the maintenance cost of your speed machine, then apart from driving safely, you have to keep up with the factory maintenance regimen- https://www.reggiesmotorworks.com/services .

I am glad to know that defensive driving could play a key role to save money on insurance. Apart from this, driving a vehicle with damaged components could be very dangerous which could lead to an accident. So, the condition of different components of the vehicle should be inspected at a regular interval and damaged components should be replaced with suitable substitutes to ensure the smoother performance of the vehicle.
