These 2 new smart cars collide head on. (They weren’t insured because it’s only a safety test of course, but you can see the cabins are both still in tact.)

This is a hilarious yet educating video about driving in India and clearly explains why we have traffic lights in Australia. If the insurance companies insure their vehicles there, lets hope they’ve bought it.

Safe Driving

Overly aggressive driving, speeding, alcohol, and driving tired are the most common culprits for tragic road accidents.

Every year, too many people lose their lives on the roads and police and rescue crews hate clearing up dead bodies. Driving over the speed limit, improper lane changes, losing control and alcohol consumption cause approximately 60 per cent of the fatal collisions. Statistics from motor insurance companies can also confirm these figures.

Alternative routes provide nicer scenery and they may help you avoid aggressive, careless drivers that can make your road trips unpleasant.

To ensure you arrive quickly and to your destination, here are some suggestions:

Apart from not speeding, driving tired following road rules here are some other tips you can do to help keep things safe

Check headlights, indicators (turning lights), tires, oil and other fluids before leaving.
Replace worn parts like windshield wiper blades.
Don’t overload the vehicle or trailer.
Don’t overcrowd the car with passengers, one person per seat belt – it’s the law.
Avoid unnecessary distractions; take travel games, books and music for kids.
Keep greater distance if you are towing a trailer, especially in wet weather.
Stay focused on your own driving and follow the rules.

PLEASE don’t speed, drive tired or drink drive.

Thank you from Captain Compare car insurance.
