December is National Impaired Driving Prevention Month

The holiday season is a time for celebration, but it’s also one of the most dangerous times on our roads. Every day, families lose parents, siblings, friends, and other loved ones to impaired driving crashes.

That’s why December has been designated National Impaired Driving Prevention Month. This resolution is a critical step in raising awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence and encouraging safer choices behind the wheel.

Consider the following statistics from government sources:

• Nearly 14,000 Americans lose their lives to impaired driving every year.
• In the United States, someone is killed or injured in a drunk driving crash every 39 minutes.
• The average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before their first arrest.
• Drunk driving kills or injures someone every 78 seconds in the United States.

Make responsible choices this holiday season

Safer roads mean fewer claims, lower costs, and most importantly, lives saved. This December, commit to making responsible choices: plan ahead, use designated drivers, and never get behind the wheel impaired.

Together, we can turn awareness into action and help end impaired driving.

How to switch car insurance companies

Switching car insurance doesn’t have to be complicated, and it can save you money. Working with an independent local broker can help you gain access to top area insurers. Your broker can help you find:

• Better value: Rates vary widely between companies, so comparing options ensures you’re not overpaying.
• Tailored coverage: Different insurers may offer discounts or policy features that better match your needs.
• Seamless transition: It’s crucial to avoid policy lapses when switching insurers. Get your new policy before cancelling your current coverage.

Shopping around helps you find the best combination of rates and coverage to fit your needs. Even if you purchased your policy recently, you don’t have to wait for it to expire; you can change insurers anytime.

Contact your broker today to review your coverage and shop for your ideal combination of price and coverage.
