Arlington Car Insurance – Protection From all Drivers

Arlington Car insurance protects you from both good drivers and drivers they have to create special laws for.

Yes, this is a bad idea and is illegal; just like driving without Arlington car insurance.

None of us can say that we are completely on top of our mental game all day. We all have days that we drop the ball as far as common sense is concerned. But, it takes a special kind of lapse in common sense that only certain people are capable of that causes the city to have to create a special law banning the activity that took place during a particular lapse.

Interesting Traffic Laws that Will Affect Your Arlington Car Insurance

There are just some traffic laws that make your shake your head and wonder where they came from. Sadly, these laws are usually created because someone did something stupid and they had to create a stupid law to point out that it was stupid enough to have to make it illegal.

These same laws will also not only get you a traffic ticket if you also try them, but they will also increase your Arlington car insurance rates. So please don’t follow in the footsteps of the ones that were the reason that these laws were created.

Straight from Arlington’s Code of Ordinances (because you won’t believe me without showing you exactly what the law says):

Section 2.01 Holding to Moving Vehicle -No person riding a motorcycle shall take hold of any other vehicle for the purpose of holding onto and being carried along by said other vehicle, nor shall the driver of said other vehicle permit the same. (I can understand a skateboard, but a motorcycle?)

Section 2.06 Unlawful Riding –

1. No person shall ride upon any portion of a vehicle not designed or intended for the transportation of passengers while such vehicle is being operated upon a public street or public or private property.

2. No person shall stand in or upon a vehicle while such vehicle is being operated upon a public street or public or private property.

(One of the exceptions to the Unlawful Riding law above is if you are in a parade it is okay to break that rule. So if you get caught unlawfully riding by a cop can’t you claim that you are just practicing for the next parade? Don’t actually do this, it was just a thought.)

Section 2.09 Freeway Regulation – No vehicle, except of the State registered, motor propelled type, shall be driven upon any freeway in the City. The use of any freeway by pedestrians, bicyclists or equestrians is hereby prohibited. This prohibition shall apply to the shoulder and median strips of freeways, as well as to the pavement surfaces thereof. (Just in case you didn’t realize that you can’t ride your horse on the freeway).

Arlington Car Insurance Laws

As silly as the laws or details within the laws above seem they are there for your protection, just like the required Arlington car insurance you have to have to be able to drive anywhere in the State of Texas. So while you are trying to keep the laws above in mind, don’t forget that you also need at least the following coverages on your car insurance policy:

$25,000 for damaging another person’s property

$30,000 for any injury you cause to a single person in an accident

$60,000 per accident if you cause multiple injuries

If you drive without this required Arlington car insurance, you are being just as silly minded as the drivers you just shake your head at in amazement when they do something dumb on the roads.
