Overcome the Temptation: Dont Drive Distracted
Do you text while driving? Or, check your e-mail? Its tempting just to take a quick peek at a stop lightwe know. But the data is mounting: driving distracted is serious and dangerous. Here are a few tips to help you overcome the temptation.
Lock your phone or other personal electronic device in the glove compartment. Why fight temptation? Just put the source away.
Let incoming calls go to voice mail while driving. Dont even look to see who it is.
Dont talk to other risky drivers. If someone calls you while they are obviously driving, say: Please call back later. Text messages are trickier: if they are obviously sent from the road, ignore them and (later) ask that driver to stop. Social disapproval is a good way to encourage others not to text while driving.
Pull over, if you must use your phone. If you really do need to talk to someone, or must use a device that requires your visual attention, pull off the road. If youre on the highway and must place a call or send a text message, get off at the nearest exit. Also, weigh the risk of not calling (or doing the task) versus the risk of losing control and endangering others on the road or in your car.
Never, ever, text while driving, period.
Think of safety when buying a new car. Automakers are putting more and more entertainment inside cars. Consider buying a car that has fewer of these and more safety devices. The car with more safety features may cost less to insure, too. We can let you know for sure what it will cost to insure a new car. Just give us a call when youre shopping.
And remember, just be safe. Your Erie Insurance policy will help cover you when accidents happen, but insurance is about more than just financial protection. Its about keeping your risk to a minimumso that you dont have that accident. And thats why we wanted to remind you to keep your eyes on the road and stay safe.
