Summer Driving Safety

Auto Insurance Update

Summer has arrived and many people are hitting the road.  In the summer months driving time increases, so it is important to be a defensive driver.  In addition, in the summer, thousands of young, inexperienced drivers are on the roads, increasing the risk of accidents.  We all want to have a safe and fun-filled summer, so here are some driving safety tips to ensure that your summer is truly enjoyable.  Remember, we have access to very competitive auto rates, and we offer great service at affordable prices.

Summer Driving Safety Tips

  • Do not drive if you are tired.
  • Keep your tank full of gas.
  • If it just rained, the road can be slick from road oils and water.
  • Wear sunglasses help cut out glare.
  • Watch for construction zones, as roadwork increases in the summer months.
  • Never text and drive, and always wear your seatbelt.
  • Bicycles and motorcycles are sharing the roadways.  All drivers must be carefully educated to watch for, and avoid, bicyclists and motorcyclists.
  • Make sure your brakes are working correctly.
  • It is important to use your headlights in the daytime, not so much, so that you can see, but so that other cars can see you.
  • Check your tires, and make sure they are fully inflated. 

Remember weather conditions can change quickly, so plan extra time to get where you are going.  Don't ever assume your time on the road will be uneventful. You could be stuck in traffic for extended periods, so it is always a good idea to travel with water and some energy bars.

We are a full service independent insurance agency with the ability to help with all lines of insurance from personal auto, home, umbrella, boat, motorcycle, life and health, to the business owner with complex needs.  We represent many of the TOP insurance carriers and are available to listen, learn and guide you though your insurance needs. We will take a comprehensive approach to your insurance that considers the best balance of coverage and cost.  We are proud to be licensed in  Illinois, Kansas, and Missouri.
