When you have the kids in the car, drive like a grandparent and stay safe with our Texas Car Insurance!
A recent study has shown that kids may be safest in cars when grandma or grandpa are driving instead of mom and dad. "We were surprised to discover that the injury rate was considerably lower in crashes where grandparents were the drivers," said Dr. Fred Henretig, an emergency medicine specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
According to propertycasualty360.com evidence indicates that car crashes are more common in older drivers, mostly those beyond age 65. The study looked at injuries rather than who had more crashes, and found that children’s risk for injury was 50% lower when riding with grandparents than with parents.
Grandparents today may not be that old, but are perhaps more nervous about the task of driving with the ‘precious cargo’ of their grandchildren and establish more cautious driving habits. At the Gary Pollard Insurance Group, we provide quality protection with our Texas car insurance so you (parent or grandparent) can concentrate on arriving at your destination safe and sound.
