There are many myths out there about driving. Here are three myths that many people have about driving:
Myth 1: The car is insured, so I have nothing to worry about
Fact: Insurance is required for every vehicle on the road. It does not mean you have the freedom to be reckless. Don’t put yourself or anyone else at risk. Insurance may cover the costs of your accident. However, if you are at fault, it will have a big impact on your driver history.
Myth 2: Accidents only happen to people who speed
Fact: The most common reason for a crash is due to bad judgment. This could be a result of not paying attention to what you are doing, texting while driving, or driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Myth 3: Every new driver will learn their lesson after they have been in a car accident
Fact: Many responsible people have driven accident-free for 20 or 30 years by adopting healthy attitudes about life, which is reflected in their driving record. Learning the rules of the road and focusing on being a safe and responsible driver is what will help young drivers improve.
