Auto Safety Features Are There for a Reason

If you’ve purchased a car in the last few years, you’ve probably noticed several new features designed to help protect you on the roadway. And thanks to that advanced engineering and technology, today’s cars are safer than ever. (Having the right auto insurance can protect you on the road, too.)

However, a national survey by Erie Insurance found that not everyone is taking advantage of these new safety features.
