It seems like every time my son goes to the construction site to check on the progress of his house or any other project he seems to pick up a nail.
He will have a slow leak for about a week and then have to have the tire plugged just to heat there was a nail stuck in the tire.
I wonder if this happens a lot to everyone.
You would think that at the end of each day the work site would have someone walk over the site where they have been working with a large magnet to pick up any of the loose nails or screws.
After awhile it gets expensive, you can only plug your tires a few times.
Then when there is bad weather you have to be careful of any flying debris that may come into contact with your truck or car.
Have you checked your policy lately? Do you know if you have coverage for this? We know that our vehicle is covered if we have an accident but what else it covered? Do you know what your deductible is if you do have to have repairs done to your car if you get damage from a construction site? If you think they are too high then a good reality check is going on the internet to compare auto insurance rates with other auto insurance companies.
It is quick and easy and only you will know if you are paying too much for your premiums.
You know how your driving history looks and if there are any other accidents in the past or speeding tickets.
Sometimes, we have to pay the high premiums because of age and driving record.
Time takes care of it though if we stay keep and do not keep adding the traffic violations and accidents.
If you do find yourself having to visit a lot of construction sites then you may want to check your tires before you leave to see if you have picked up a nail.
You do not want to be caught off guard or on the highway and end up with a flat or wake up to a flat tire in the morning.
It will only take you a few minutes.
