Automobile Insurance on Cruise Control

You may not think much about your cruise control and how it relates to your automobile insurance, but it does. In inclement weather, including street flooding, and icy and snowy roads, people sometimes set their cruise control without thinking of what could happen.

The result can cause an auto accident, and your personal auto policy may come into play. Your cruise control does not recognize that the roads are icy and when the cruise 'kicks in' and accelerates the vehicle on a slippery road, this can cause the vehicle to spin out of control, resulting in an accident, causing physical damage and bodily injury.

Your Littleton NH auto insurance policy may cover these damages (check your coverages with your independent agent), and depending on the circumstances and insurance company, may result in claim payments which may affect your policy premium in the future.

Be safe--never use your cruise control in inclement weather; including rainstorms. And remember, bridges freeze before road surfaces.
