We all agree that having insurance makes Tahoe owners, drivers and passengers feel more secure, safer, and less vulnerable.

Accidents, deaths, and injuries from vehicle-related causes are the lowest they have been since the U.S. government began keeping records. This is a great thing and there are a number of reasons for this. But the most important is that more people are wearing seat belts than ever before. This is because all 50 of the U.S. states have made it mandatory that drivers and passengers wear seat belts while traveling. Another important reason is that a lot of states have passed tough drunk-driving laws.
Did you know that it is a fact that when you travel on a Saturday or Sunday night between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. you are more likely to have an accident? It is also a fact that what month you drive during the year makes a difference as far as your chance of having an accident. NHTA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the months of December and August, the months when people usually travel to visit relatives for the holidays and for vacation respectively, are the most hazardous months for vehicular travel.
Regardless of taking precautions like traveling only during safe times, accidents still occur, people still get hurt, and vehicles still get damaged. In fact, unfortunately a vehicle accident occurs every five seconds, someone dies in a traffic accident every 12 minutes, and a vehicle-related injury occurs every 11 seconds.
Fortunately, you can avoid injuries and accidents by following some simple rules. Rule #1: bet sure you wear your seat belt every time you get into your Tahoe; also be certain that your passengers especially children and the elderly are wearing their seat belts. Stay alert and be aware of other cars, other drivers, and your surroundings when you drive. Obey the speed limit. Designate a driver if you use alcohol and use prescription drugs only under a physician's guidance.
Comparing the many millions of miles Tahoe and other car owners drive each year to the number of injuries, accidents, and deaths, we find that traveling by truck or car is still a very safe way to travel.
