Motorists in Bellevue, WA are required by law to carry liability insurance in the amounts of $25,000 per individual or $50,000 per wreck in addition to $10,000 in property damage coverage. It’s often viewed favorably by your insurance company when your driving record is clean, and your Securum LLC representative can let you know if this affects your premiums.
Here are some tips that can help you stay safe on the road:
Keep Your Distance
In general, it takes 2 to 3 seconds to adequately slow down if the person in front of you comes to a sudden stop. This can take even longer if there is inclement weather, and it’s good to leave a cushion appropriate to outdoor conditions. You may want to give more space when following behind tractor-trailers or motorcycles.
Stay Focused
It can be tempting to divide your attention between other tasks if you’re on a familiar route. Still, animals can sometimes unexpectedly cross your path, or you can have a vehicular malfunction. It is vital to keep other activities, like putting on make-up, using a GPS, or checking social media on hold until you arrive at your destination.
Watch Your Speed
It’s essential to remember that posted speed limits are for ideal conditions only and that fog, rain, snow, or high winds can necessitate lowering your velocity. This must be observed even when passing on the left and can help you successfully navigate tricky situations. Your car becomes harder to control when your speed increases, and so you can quickly encounter a dangerous situation if, for example, your tire catches some gravel or you begin to hydroplane.
