Accident forgiveness can be handy, but honestly, if you're budget-conscious, I'd lean towards investing in good tires and maybe a winter driving course instead. Ohio winters are no joke...confidence behind the wheel goes a long way.

Totally agree with this. Last winter was my first driving solo, and honestly, after sliding through an intersection once (thankfully empty!), I decided good tires were a must-have. Accident forgiveness sounds nice, but I'd rather avoid the accident altogether...

Yeah, totally get this mindset. My first winter driving solo in Ohio was a real eye-opener too—I thought I was prepared until I fishtailed on a patch of black ice near my neighborhood. Thankfully, nothing serious happened, but it definitely shook me up enough to invest in quality tires and brush up on winter driving tips. Accident forgiveness feels reassuring, but honestly, prevention and confidence behind the wheel are your best bets.
That's a scary moment for sure... glad you're okay. I agree prevention is key here, but sometimes even the most cautious drivers can get caught off guard. Accident forgiveness might not stop accidents from happening, but doesn't it at least relieve some stress if something unexpected does occur? It's like a safety net—you hope you'll never need it, but it's comforting knowing it's there.
Yeah, totally get your point about prevention—it's always the best route. But honestly, accident forgiveness has saved me some serious headaches. Had a minor fender-bender last winter (black ice is no joke...), and knowing my rates wouldn't spike took a huge load off my mind. Sure, it's an extra cost upfront, but the peace of mind can be worth it, especially here in Ohio with our unpredictable weather and road conditions. Glad you're safe, by the way—those moments can really shake you up.
