Berita - Safety Tips for Driving in The Rain - Sahabat Insurance | Solusi Lengkap Perlindungan Asuransi Anda

Driving in rain, whether a sprinkle or a heavy downpour, can be one of the most difficult driving situations a driver encounters. Rainy conditions are directly associated with higher accident rates. Things To Know Before You Start Driving In The Rain:

  1. Turn on your headlights not your hazard lights. Turning on the hazard lights during heavy rain will confuse other vehicles behind you, especially if you are at an intersection.
  2. Break through puddles or flooded areas. Water may enter the engine and damage your vehicle. The hole or drain may not be visible in the puddle. Avoid breaking through flooded areas.
  3. Traffic accidents are often caused by ignorance, violating traffic due to rain may result in accidents with other road users.
  4. Slow down ! Not only should you adhere to the posted speed limit when driving in wet weather conditions, you should drive considerably slower than you normally would. Wet roads are very dangerous.
  5. Avoid heavy braking, try to slow your vehicle by taking your foot off the accelerator earlier than you normally would in preparation to slow down or stop. Don’t use cruise control so your attention on using both the gas and brake are in tune.

Motor Vehicle Insurance: Comprehensive vs TLO

Car insurance is an essential solution for vehicle owners, especially as traffic conditions become more congested and driving risks continue to increase. Whether your car is being used daily or parked at home or at work, the risk of accidents, damage, or theft is always present and often unpredictable.

With car insurance from Sahabat Insurance, you can drive with greater peace of mind knowing your vehicle is well protected.

Why Is Car Insurance Important?

Even if you drive carefully, unexpected incidents may still occur at any time. Car insurance helps protect you from costly repair expenses and financial losses caused by accidents or vehicle theft.

Today, car insurance products are widely available at affordable premiums. When compared to the benefits and coverage provided, the cost of car insurance is well worth the protection and security you receive.

Types of Car Insurance You Should Know

Before choosing a car insurance policy, it is important to understand the available coverage options.

1. Total Loss Only (TLO) Insurance

Total Loss Only (TLO) insurance provides coverage for total loss of your vehicle due to theft or severe damage. A loss is considered total if the estimated repair cost reaches or exceeds  75% of the vehicle’s market value  immediately before the incident.

Please note that TLO insurance does not cover minor damages such as small scratches or dents. These types of repairs remain the responsibility of the vehicle owner.

2. All Risk / Comprehensive Insurance

All Risk or Comprehensive insurance offers broader and more complete protection. This type of coverage includes minor damages such as scratches and small dents, as well as major damages caused by serious accidents or vehicle theft, as long as they are stated in the policy.

Comprehensive insurance from  Sahabat Insurance can also be enhanced with additional coverage, including:

* Protection against natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes
* Coverage for riots and civil disturbances
* Third-party liability coverage if an accident causes injury or damage to others

These extended protections help ensure your vehicle is safeguarded against a wide range of potential risks.
