Driving after the Pandemic

Spike in '21 Traffic Fatalities


According to The Associated Press.
U.S traffic deaths rose 18% (to 20,160) in the first Six months of 2021 compared to the same period the previous year, and that was the highest first half in 15 years.

Probably a better time than ever to practice being more mindful of others on the road.

You know you're having a bad day when you ram a ramen bar. This canopy is probably sticking out too far, and it's built like a battering ram, imagine the insurance claim. A customer of mine runs a Butchers, and his building's canopy extended out just a little bit further than his neighbor's. Each day a delivery would arrive, they'd back up to his store lining themselves up using the neighbors building to guide them, straight into his canopy, and changing drivers or delivery companies wouldn't ever solve the problem either. team@CarInsuranceTM.com

Your car gets dented. If there is enough damage to warrant a claim on your car insurance policy, it is not uncommon for a cash settlement to be negotiated on the spot, thusly avoiding an insurance policy price hike or devalued driver rating.   In Victoria, Australia it is recommended that you report property damage ASAP, it doesn't mean that you still can't negotiate a cash settlement, it just means there's a record of the incident, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the police will be able to attend, best to get their registration as well as their licence, name and number.

  Of course sometimes you are going to want to fix that dent or scratch in your car. If it is not serious or necessary, ie you just want to go to work and back, why would you? You are probably going to just scratch it again anyway. If it is not to serious you are most likely best avoiding a car insurance claim altogether, and perhaps just wait until you want to sell it. Some scratches aren't even scratches, when you touch an object the clear coat or protective layer is there to reduce damage from scratches and can cloud up making it look just like a scratch, and this can be easily fixed with some wax or polish. A good car detailer should know pretty quickly and be able to fix it for you for a few bucks. team@CarInsuranceTM.com
