Tips for teen drivers, offered up online

Hey all, there is a great list of car insurance companies at CarInsurance.com. What’s cool about car insurance company website is that they offer tips and tricks to getting good rates, avoiding accidents, avoiding tickets, and other helpful driving tips. For instance, GEICO just added a “Teens and Trucks” section to their online library. It’s in the safe driving materials for teen drivers section, if you’re out there looking for it now. The brochure includes information for teens on how to safely share the highway with large trucks. I can see that as especially helpful as anyone can be intimidated by those big trucks on the road, especially a new driver. The save driving website, in case anyone is looking for it, is located here.
Here is a quick rundown of some of those tips:
· Stay out of a truck’s blind spots or “No Zones”
· Be careful when attempting to pass a truck
· Do not swerve in front of a truck or cause the driver to come to a sudden stop
· Avoid squeeze play when a large truck needs to make a wide turn
· Do not cut off a large truck or passenger bus
There are a lot more tips on the website, and I suggest you check them out.
