The Constitution State is full of historic landmarks, but when it comes to auto insurance, it pays to be up-to-date in your approach. Connecticut drivers have to be careful on the road— both the weather and the drivers can be rough. A skid in the snow or a collision with an aggressive driver can cause severe damage, which can lead to a very pricey claim. Connecticut residents need not fear! Whether you’re driving on cobblestone streets, or on modern expressways, Esurance offers great savings and reliable online service!

Ready for weather?
Although the seasons can tell you, to a certain point, when certain weather conditions are on their way, you never know when a sudden storm could leave you stranded in your car. It's a good idea to prepare your car and your auto insurance for certain weather trends that happen in Connecticut.

Make sure you put together a winter car kit, in case you are ever stranded in a storm. This kit should contain: sand for traction, a small shovel for clearing snow, tire chains, a flashlight with fresh batteries, warm blankets or sleeping bag, and non-perishable food items.

Ready for road rage?
Since 1990, the number of cars on Connecticut’s roads has increased by 10%. With an increase in traffic comes an increase in aggression, and in turn, an increase in auto accidents. Unfortunately, we all pay the price for others’ reckless driving— whether through injury or through higher auto insurance rates.

Don’t become a statistic. To reduce the stress that causes such incidents, you should:

• Assume that another driver's mistakes are not directed at you.
• Allow yourself plenty of time for your commute and avoid scheduling events at work or at home that may cause you to try and rush.
• Listen to soothing music or a book on tape to make your commute more enjoyable.
• Structure your commute to avoid rush-hour traffic.
• Take a breather from driving by using public transportation at least once or twice a week if it's available to you.

Safe drivers save lives and save on their car insurance
