This may be a hard concept to accept, but despite what your intuition tells you, you may want a car that crumples. In fact, statistics show that the risk of being killed in a personal motor vehicle on U.S. roads has decreased each year, with the exception of 2012, when fatality and injury rates increased slightly and much of that progress in car safety can be attributed to car design that has evolved from the invention of the crumple zone. #alberigiinsurance #travelers #travelersinsurance #autopolicy #autoinsurance #carinsurance #safedriving

How PAJ GPS Trackers Offer Peace Of Mind For Car Owners

⚠ More than 60% of drivers would find it acceptable if their vehicle provided an audible and visual warning when they exceeded the posted speed limit, a survey from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows. 🚘 About half of drivers said they wouldn’t mind vehicle technology that makes the accelerator pedal harder to press or automatically restricts speed. ☠ Speeding kills. It’s consistently a factor in more than a quarter of U.S. traffic fatalities, and amounted to more than 12,000 deaths in 2022. ⬇ With this in mind, what is your opinion on anti-speeding technology in vehicles? What if it could lower your car insurance premium? Let us know in the comments below. #carinsurance #autoinsurance #speeding

Much has been made of the new electronic safety tech in cars, but it doesn’t seem to be making a dent in auto insurers’ claims costs, according to a new report by Rates.ca. “You might expect that with more safety features like emergency braking and lane assistance systems, the frequency and severity of accidents would decrease,” David Mayer, director of insurance at Rates.ca, says in a report examining auto insurers’ increasing repair costs. “But it’s increased, possibly due to distracted driving.” In 2023, Canada saw a 9% rise in average severity — the cost of an insurance claim — compared to 2022. This increase was sharper in the first half of 2023, when the increase was 10% over the same period in the previous year. By 2024, the average severity in Canada is expected to hit around $5,700 for a car repair, per Rates.ca. Mayer offers another explanation for higher severity numbers despite new cars being equipped with the latest in driver assistance technologies — including blind spot assist, automatic braking, lane-assist, and parking assist features. Simply put, these newer cars haven’t been on Canadian roads long enough to make a difference. #carsafety #vehiclesafety #vehiclesales #safetytechnology #autoinsurance #insurancesolutions #brokersworkforyou
