Do you have sufficient autoinsurance coverage for life in Costa Mesa?
Each year many drivers cause of get into an accident because of our friends in nature. You may not have yet had this happen, but how many times have you driven down a road and had to swerve to avoid a squirrel or maybe someone’s lost family pet. If you have been driving for any length of time, the answer is probably many times. Costa Mesa and Orange Country overall are still growing and that means that the wild animal habitat is decreasing – we are impinging on their space and they have to look further afield for food and shelter.
The best course of action would be to avoid collision a collision in the first place - be more vigilant when driving between dusk and midnight and in the early morning hours when they are more active. Keep your speed at least within the speed limit to give yourself a chance of being able to stop should an animal cross your path. Make sure you know your surroundings. It may sound strange to say but don’t swerve into oncoming traffic be prepared to pull off onto the side of the road if you can. If you are in a less populated area, keep your headlights on high beam to give you a larger field of vision especially when driving on unfamiliar roads (but please remember to dim them if a car is approaching from the opposite direction).
If you are unlucky enough to be involved in a collision, you must have a comprehensive auto insurance coverage for your car and yourself and/or passengers to be covered.
