One in Five
January 18, 2011 | in The Daily DriveAn estimated 4 million vehicles, or one in five, on Texas roads today do not have insurance! That is very scary number and really highlights the need for TexasSure, the vehicle insurance verification system.
TexasSure allows law enforcement, county tax officials and vehicle inspectors to confirm personal auto liability insurance and is why the officer at a stop can verify whether or not you have coverage – even if you are unable to provide evidence of insurance. If your card is expired or you do not have one, the officer can write you a ticket, but TexasSure guarantees they will know.
Does one in five scare you? It should, at the very least it should make you drive more defensively. There are just too many people out there driving without insurance. Good, mature driving behaviors can avoid the unwanted interaction with an individual who is one of those five.
Driver programs such as TexasSure and TAIPA (Texas Automobile Insurance Plan Association) help improve your odds but the best way to avoid and accident is to practice good defensive driving skills and to ensure your full focus is on the business of driving!
Remember, DefensiveDriving.com is good for discounts for auto insurance, so if you are the other four who are insured, we can save you money!
