Van Drivers Warned To Keep Their Cool This Summer
Drivers have been warned to keep their cool this summer when they are on the road. According to one auto group if drivers respond in anger to tailgaters they could be jeopardising their van insurance premiums.
According to the Institute of Advanced Motorists, reacting aggressively by slamming brakes on in a bid to get the vehicle behind to back off could prove dangerous. The group have advised people that they should instead move over and allow the driver to pass them by instead.
A representative from the organisation suggested: “Find the earliest opportunity to change lanes in safety and allow the tailgater to get past you and become somebody else’s problem.”
Recent research conducted by the AA found that a major problem for British motorists was having someone drive too close behind them on the road.
Many drivers will reduce their chances of being involved in an accident by avoiding any confrontation on the road this summer. This will help to keep their van insurance premiums low and avoid any unnecessary accidents.
According to a recent survey one of the safest vans on the market is the Fiat Fiorino. Gerry Clarke, director of Fiat Professional explained: “Because fuel consumption and maintenance are not affected by Traction +, this new introduction represents not only a sensible decision for owners, but a cost-effective one too.”
