Car insurance news

Roundabout threat for drivers

There is plenty to worry about when it comes to driving: fuel costs, staying safe on the roads, being as eco-friendly as possible. Women have one less thing to worry about because for a woman, car insurance comes cheap and easy.

However, there is one thing that many of the drivers on the UK's roads fear above all else: roundabouts, especially when they are busy.

A company specialising in woman car insurance, Female First, has highlighted the problem that roundabouts pose for many motorists and given some tips for keeping cool when you have to handle a much-dreaded rotary.

Drivers should "plan to stop but look to go" so if the way isn't clear, they won't get forced into dangerously pulling out because they are travelling too fast. This contrasts with the attitude to many drivers, who assume the way is clear until they get close and then if something is coming, have to break sharply or put their foot down to stay out of harm's way.

Mini-roundabouts hold their own dangers that can easily cause a crunch and resulting motor insurance claim. Those awful moments when you don't know who is going to go first can be easily solved through simply catching another driver's eye and making a clear signal.

For a woman, car insurance doesn't have to be compromised by roundabouts. Remember to be vigilant of the traffic around you at all times and don't pull out unless you are sure it is safe.
