Atlanta Auto Insurance- Saving lives and keeping you safe!

As drivers prepare to hit the Atlanta roads for the Memorial Day holiday travel period, Lloyd Pro Group, an Atlanta Insurance Agency, along with Nationwide Insurance and the Georgia Department of Public Safety is urging motorists to make their number one priority safety belt use while traveling. 

Two national traffic safety campaigns began this week with their goal of saving lives and reducing serious injuries from motor vehicle crashes. Law enforcement across the country is making special efforts to encourage seat belt and child seat use during holiday travels.
 �
Operation Click It or Ticket as well as All-American Buckle-Up Week are two of the main campaigns that began this week. Law Enforcement officers will be strictly enforcing Georgia’s seat belt law and also making sure children are properly restrained. Receiving a ticket for either of these will also strongly influence your Atlanta auto insurance rates.

 The week leading up to Memorial Day is traditionally All-American Buckle-Up Week across the nation.  From May 24 through Memorial Day, civic and community groups join state law enforcement officers to educate the public on the importance of wearing seat belts at all times while traveling in motor vehicles.  Georgia State Troopers also remind adults who transport children to take the time to make sure children are properly restrained.

Concentrated efforts by law enforcement to support these safety programs are designed to educate the motoring public of the dangers they face each day on our nation’s highways. It’s easy to do- it seems like easy common sense: Obey the posted speed limit, don’t drive after consuming alcohol, and make sure everyone is properly restrained during every trip. Lloyd Pro Group, YOUR  Atlanta Insurance Agency, wants to ensure you all stay safe and happy this Memorial Day Weekend!

• Keep a fire extinguisher accessible- always.
• Never leave a grill unattended once it has been lit.
• Avoid exceptionally loose clothing, especially sleeves that can catch fire.

Rainy Day Driving Tips- Lloyd Pro Group Insurance

As an Atlanta- based Insurance Agency, Lloyd Pro Group, representing Nationwide Insurance, deals with clients all day who don’t realize the dangers of driving in the rain and that their techniques should be drastically different than in dry times.

When the road is wet, the film of the water on the asphalt causes tires to lose traction. Less obvious is the fact that rain reduces driver perception — it’s harder to see through the rain — and also decreases visibility through its action on headlights, windshields, and the road itself. While most people know to slow down in the rain, there are definitely other tips that will help keep you, and those who share the road with you, from becoming a statistic:

- Allow for more travel time: People do drive slower (generally) but that doesn’t mean better. However, you pre-planned route may be flooded or heavy because of a crash. Don’t get stressed- make the time to take your time.

-Brake earlier and lighter: This decreases the stopping distance between you and the car in front and decreases the risk of hydroplaning. 

- Turn ON your headlights: Even in a light misty rain, turning on your headlights not only increases your visibility but allows other drivers to see you better. Avoid using high beams, as this will reflect the light back to you off the raindrops, obscuring your view.

- If you do start to hydroplane, DO NOT turn the wheel or brake hard.   Your vehicle will be pulled into the hydroplane, causing you to lose control. You SHOULD release the gas pedal slowly and steer straight until you regain control.

- Avoid large puddles and running water if at all possible: they could be disguising a pothole or push your vehicle. Not only that, water could get into your engine and cause a lot of damage- the kind of damage that can make a rainy day a whole lot worse!

- Avoid unnecessary disturbances like talking on your cell phone or texting: We all know we aren’t supposed to make calls or text while driving anyway, but it is imperative to heed this warning on the dangerous, rainy days!

- Be courteous: I know a rainy day can make us all a little off- kilter, but we have to do our best to ensure that we all get where we set off to safely. Let’s work together! Drive a little more cautiously- sometimes we have to make up for other people’s lackings sometimes..

The Lloyd Pro Group loves our customers, and we love hearing from you. But it’s never good when it is in situations like a traffic crash or injuries. We provide the absolute best-for-you insurance for your car, health, anything you need! But auto insurance is the best when it’s not needed.
