A deer crossing the road, can cause you to go crazy if suddenly it looms in front of you a few hundred feet away. That’s exactly what has happened to driver’s who love to drive in the countryside of many states. If you hit one then you know about those awful sounds coming from your vehicle and the bunch of steam coming from under the hood? Not only is your car damaged but the radiator is busted and all the coolant is on the ground. Believe me, that vehicle is not going any farther down that road. It’s time for a tow truck and some needed roadside assistance.
My sister had that happen last year, and she ended up in the hospital with a broken leg, cracked ribs, facial cuts and plenty of bruises. She says that the airbag did a lot of the damage to her face, but I’m glad her car had one. Just imagine the shape she would have been in if her car wasn’t equipped with airbags. The insurance company was very supportive and had the car towed to a local bodyshop , paid for her hospital bills and helped her get a rent car to drive while her’s was being repaired. Her out of pocket expense was the insurance deductible and that was hard for her to manage. Being a single mom, makes finding extra money very hard at times.

Snowy Weather…….
I’m not ready for this cold weather, and all the problems that come with it. I’ve tried real hard not to be on the roads, when the weather gets bad. There a just too many wrecks during heavy traffic times. It’s necessary to keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and maintain a normal speed for the flow of traffic. There’s always some person in a big hurry, or not watching what they are doing. It results in someone having a wreck and causing a lot of damage to the vehicles involved.
Cold, snowy, rainy weather adds to the chances of having a wreck and then you are stuck with having to employ a collision repair shop to get the damage fixed. It makes no difference whether your at fault or not the damage is done. Very often insurance companies try to find fault in order to keep from covering your vehicle damage. Having to deal with their appraisers is a pain, and can get on your nerves. I don’t like dealing with insurance companies, over a wreck. It always sends your premiums sky high, and makes it difficult to pay for proper insurance coverage.
Needless to say, that’s why it’s smart to stay at home during bad weather.
