Commuting can be extremely stressful; you are stuck inside your car for a long while every day, it's stuffy, your legs ache, the traffic crawls at a painfully slow pace and you are desperate to get to your destination. Is it any wonder that road accidents are so frequent between the hours of 7.30 and 9.00 and 16.30 and 19.00?
Here are some friendly suggestions from Car Accident Advice Line about how you can cut down your stress levels when on the road and perhaps reduce your chances of having to make a car accident claim:
Share the driving when you commute by car pooling with colleagues that live nearby
Alternate the routes that you take, it will give you a change of scenery and you may find that there is less traffic if you travel a different way
Try leaving at a different time, half an hour either way may make a huge difference to the volume of traffic on the roads
Try taking the bus or train a couple of days a week to give yourself a rest from negotiating with the rush hour traffic

*A replacement vehicle can usually be supplied within 4-6 working hours, where there is an admission of liability from the other person’s insurance company. If this person is not known, their insurance details are not known, they are uninsured or there is a potential dispute over who caused the accident, a replacement vehicle cannot be provided.
