Prudence is indeed a virtue. It helps us avoid being on the wrong side of risky situations. Being careful would not hurt anybody, especially when it has to do with road safety. There are so many automobile accidents happening everyday, safeguarding yourself from harm would definitely be advisable. It can be as simple as remembering to strap on your safety belt and drive within the speed limit. Yet even those precautions will not totally preclude a mishap from happening.

There is a sense of calm that can be derived from it because you know that there is something in reserve either for you or your loved ones should catastrophe strike.

The culprit has already escaped and could prove to be difficult locate. You are however left with the costs to repair your vehicle and if you were injured, the expenses for your recovery. Despite this and numerous other cases, there are some people who continue to drive without insurance.
