San Bernardino & San Bernardino County
28.6% of San Bernardino households run a single vehicle, so when that one car is off the road the whole household is, which is what rental and towing cover are actually for. 38.3% of workers here are on the road half an hour or more each way, and more time on the road is more exposure, whatever your record looks like. 76.6% of San Bernardino workers drive to work alone, which is why almost every household here needs its own policy rather than a shared one. 90 motorcyclists were killed or injured in San Bernardino in the ranked year, which is the case for carrying more than the minimum on two wheels. 53 cyclists were killed or injured on San Bernardino streets that year, and a cyclist injury is a liability claim long before it is anything else. 155 fatal or injury collisions in San Bernardino happened between 9pm and 3am, the hours when a single bad decision can become a claim and a conviction at once.
