Happy March! This month's update brings you helpful advice, timely insights, and resources you need to know as spring approaches. What's included: Staying safe this spring break, International Women's Day, Dave's Corner, and March Madness predictions. | Spring Break Safety Reminders | If you’re among the millions of Americans taking a spring break vacation, here are a few reminders to help you and your loved ones stay safe while making the most of vacation: - Stay alert on the road. Traffic incidents spike during spring break due to long road trips, distracted driving, and fatigue. If you are driving, be sure to plan breaks, switch drivers (if traveling with a group), and avoid traveling overnight when possible.
- Keep your hotel room secure. Lock doors and windows, avoid sharing your room number, and store valuables in the safe. A portable doorstop alarm is a small but powerful tool for added peace of mind.
- Practice water safety. Seventy percent of water-related deaths involve alcohol. When in or on the water, be sure to wear life vests and drink responsibly. Additionally, if you are staying in an accommodation with a pool, be sure to lock all doors leading to the pool and securely close any gates around it.
- Use the buddy system. If you are traveling with friends or family, it may be wise to set up a buddy system, where everyone in your group has a dedicated exploring partner. Additionally, it can be wise to choose a meeting spot where your group can gather in case of an emergency. If you are traveling alone, be sure to check in regularly with loved ones and plan how you will communicate.
- Protect your privacy. Wait until you are home to post vacation updates on social media. Broadcasting your location while you are away can make your home a target for break-ins.
If you have any questions about auto insurance, travel insurance, or other coverage-related matters, don’t hesitate to reach out. | Here are a few key dates and reminders to keep in mind this month. - March 8th is the start of Daylight Saving Time.
