A website for female drivers is offering tips and advice to protect women's car insurance through the cold weather this winter.
Evescars.com is encouraging ladies to think about the shoes they are wearing when they get into their cars. Rain, snow and ice can mean that shoes become slippery and slip off pedals easily so choosing a sensible pair may well prevent an expensive women's car insurance claim.
It also urges lady drivers to think about the side effects of any cold medicine they might be taking because many cause drowsiness. Despite warnings on the packet not to drive after use, some motorists are still taking to the road without realising that they are unsafe to do so.
A final snippet of advice from the female motorist website is to carry blankets and a themos flask of hot drink when venturing out in the car on very cold days. This way, you can be prepared if a breakdown occurs.
Lee-Anne Bass of ladies' motor insurance firm CoverGirl Car Insurance Services, commented: "This all sounds like very sensible advice for woman motorists. By following it, you can improve your safety and avoid costly claims on your women's car insurance policy."
