According to industry sources on February 10, auto insurers have prepared various vehicle inspection services to handle the surge in holiday travel.
The day before the holiday is particularly risky, with long-distance driving, traffic jams, and accumulated fatigue creating a perfect storm for accidents. Extra caution is needed during this time.

Drunk driving and unlicensed driving incidents also increased during the holiday period. Drunk driving accidents surged by 24.1% on the day before the holiday, compared to the daily average of 72 incidents. The number of drunk driving victims during the holiday was 15.8% higher than usual.

To promote safer holiday travel, insurers are expanding their free vehicle inspection services and enhancing coverage benefits.
