You can keep those premiums low by avoiding auto accidents and traffic violations,” he said. “You just want to follow the traffic laws, obey the speed limit, use turn signals, avoid aggressive and distracted driving.”Jenkins also said you can check with your provider to see if they offer an app or a device that tracks your driving habits. With AAADrive, Jenkins said some customers’ rates went down by 20% to 25%. You can also see if your provider offers a defensive driving-type class that may get you an extra discount upon completion.Lastly, Jenkins recommends looking into bundling your home and car insurance for lower monthly payments.
