Classic Cars Chevrolet

Did you know the number of uninsured drivers is increasing every day? Now that you know, it would be a good idea to reevaluate and possibly increase the insurance coverage you have on your Chevrolet car.

A recent report by the Insurance Research Council shows that the rate of unemployment in the nation is correlated with the number of uninsured drivers on the roads. By the year 2010, the research group expects more than 16 percent of the drivers to be on the roads without insurance. Those are scary numbers for those of us who are worried about getting into an accident.

One thing you can do to protect yourself, your family and your Chevrolet cars is to increase the amount of insurance you carry. Take a second look at your "uninsured/underinsured driver" coverage and consider increasing it to pay for any damages or medical bills that one of these drivers may cause. For only a few dollars extra a month, you may be able to increase your coverage to full coverage if you are a safe driver with a good record.

Don’t let an uninsured driver total your Chevrolet car without any financial protection. Consult your auto insurance agent today for more information!

If you’re like me, you’ve heard a lot in your lifetime about futuristic cars that can drive themselves. It looks like it won’t be long before your next Chevrolet car will be able to do just that!

The Michigan International Speedway has become the new place to test some new vehicles with technology that can communicate with other vehicles and with the road as well. Some cars already have a precursor to this technology such as blind-spot detection and lane-departure warnings, but the new technology is going to go several steps further.

If automakers perfect this new technology, it’s going to greatly reduce (if not eliminate) vehicle collisions and, as a result, traffic congestion as well. In addition to that, the technology will make vehicles more efficient and make warranties more effective because cars will be able to transmit real-time data to manufacturers.

"I have never seen anything with quite the size of the carrot as exists when we’re talking about the connected vehicle and the highway and the different things that we can do," said Dave Cole, the chairman of Ann Arbor’s Center for Automotive Research. The new project will also create tens of thousands of jobs for Michigan if the state becomes the place where these cars will be manufactured.

Can you imagine going to your local Chevy dealer in the next few years and buying a new Chevrolet car that communicates with other cars and the road’s infrastructure? It might sound like Big Brother, but it also promises to reduce traffic-related deaths by thousands.

If you’re driving around in your new Chevrolet cars, you want to be as attentive and observant as to what’s going on around you as possible. Driver distractions can cause horrible accidents and even fatalities depending on the conditions and the situation. Here are some facts about distracted driving so you can be a more attentive driver.

• According to the California DMV, 80 percent of accidents occur because one of the drivers involved was distracted three seconds before the collision.
• Holding a cell phone while you are driving has been shown to be as dangerous as driving while intoxicated.
• Your auto insurance rates could go up as much as 40 percent if you are involved in an accident.
• Eating and drinking while driving are distractions and spills often cause accidents. Pull over when you’re eating and be extra careful when drinking a beverage if you’re driving.
• Bring a small tape recorder to record any thoughts you may have while you’re driving instead of writing down notes.
• Use common sense. Don’t take your eyes off the road even for a second.

There is no legitimate excuse for distracted driving. You have a responsibility to others on the road when you sit behind the wheel of a car. Be safe and attentive when you’re driving…it’s just common courtesy.
