Driving Safely

It's Game Time!

It is Football season!! Whether you follow college, Pro or both, you may find yourself driving to games. If you are like our family, you travel to college games quite often. My husband went to the University of Texas and I went to Baylor, so you are most likely to find us heading down I35 this time of year. (Since my team is winning this season, the Baylor Bears get the picture!)
 I don't know about you, but I see some scary driving out there on those Texas highways! So I thought this would be a good time to talk about car safety and insurance.

Safety First! 

* Do not drink and drive. If you want to drink beer with your buddies for the game, wait until you get to the tail gate party - or watch the game from home!
* Check the air pressure on your tires before you leave. A blow out can start a horrific chain reaction accident out there on the highway.
* Always buckle up- It is just plain stupid to go through a car window if you don't have to!
* Keep the distractions to a minimum. Turn your phone to silent (or give it to your spouse/friend/child) Leave enough time to stop for food or bathroom breaks. Pray the kids keep the fighting to a minimum.
* If you are driving out of town, as many of us will do for these games, know where you are going. Getting lost in an unknown place can be unnerving and dangerous if you don't know the area well and end up in the wrong part of town.
* Keep the kids with you. Young children often wander back to the car and crawl in. It is still hot enough in many places to cause heat stroke, even death, if they are left in a car without ventilation. They are sneaky little things- keep them close!

Insurance Tips

* Keep your insurance card on you. I know many companies are making their way to the digital IDs on your phones, but not every police department is accepting them yet. And sometimes it is just easier to pull it out of your glove compartment after that accident.
* If you are traveling out of state, you are a more loyal fan than me! But don't worry. You will be covered. If you are in an accident out of state, most adjusters will take the higher limits between your insurance and the other state's minimum limits.
* Make sure you have the contact information for your insurance company with you.
* It is always a good idea to talk with your Insurance agent before you head out on a trip. Check and make sure your policy is up to date (you never know) and that you know and feel good about the amount of coverage you have.
This is such a great time of year. Be safe and keep it fun for the whole family!
And if you are having issues with your team this year, you can root for mine-
