OnlineAutoInsurance.com Offers Drivers Tips for a Safe New Year's
Rancho Cucamonga, CA, December 30, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Online Auto Insurance is advocating that consumers stay safe while making the most of their New Year’s Eve celebrations.
While New Year’s is first and foremost a time to remember the past year and look forward to the next, statistics have shown that it also has historically been one of the days of the year with the highest fatal-crash rates. This is likely due in no small part to drivers’ staying out late and being surrounded by festivities that involve drinking. OnlineAutoInsurance.com advises drivers to do as they should do at all times of the year and make sure that they’ve taken the necessary steps to ensure that they will not have to get behind the wheel while intoxicated.
According to the United State Department of Transportation, having a blood alcohol concentration level of .08 percent can have serious negative effects on concentration, perception and information-processing capabilities and can actually cause short-term memory loss. A driver with a blood alcohol concentration between .08 and .10 percent has a relative risk of getting into a single-vehicle crash that is 11 times greater than a driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .00.

In addition to remembering to not drink — or at least to find a place to stay or to designate a sober driver — motorists should also double-check to make sure they have their proof of insurance cards in their glove boxes. With the potential increase in the number of drunk drivers, there is also likely to be an increase in the number of DUI checkpoints. Law enforcement officials at these checkpoints may ask for different documents from drivers. Depending on state and local laws, motorists most likely will be asked to present their driver’s licenses, and in some areas, they may also be asked for proof of insurance coverage.
