Save money on your car insurance, avoid accidents in the city

For many people city driving is one of the most stressful situations to be in. Every driver has their own pet hate and for many it is the congested roads of the UK’s cities. For many women, car insurance is the least of their driving woes. Many cities are so clogged up with motorists that road rage arises regularly and driving through the town can become an unpleasant experience. Many accidents also occur within cities because the high density of cars competing for a small amount of space leads to bumps and scrapes.

City driving tips
The following are some hints and tips for city driving. Keeping these factors in mind can help you to keep your car insurance premiums down by helping you to avoid a costly accident.

  • Speeding causes the most city accidents. If there are lots of cars in one place it stands to reason that driving too fast will limit your opportunities to react quickly
  • Always keep two seconds between you and the car in front. Just because you are in traffic and not moving very fast it doesn’t mean you have to jump into the space that another car has left. If you crash into the back of someone else, you are likely to lose your no claims discount and your car insurance premiums will rise
  • Don’t park near or on a junction. This is against the law and very dangerous
  • When approaching a zebra crossing check that there are no pedestrians approaching from either side. A quarter of all road accidents occur within 25 yards of a pedestrian crossing
  • Watch out for cyclists and motorcyclists. They are much more vulnerable than other road users so give them plenty of space
  • Drive very carefully near schools. Children often run out into the road without looking. You should never park on the marked areas outside a school
