Snellville, Georgia is home to many families and young adults just beginning their careers. It’s a pleasant suburban city just east of Atlanta with around 20,623 residents. With great schools, access to Highway 124, and several parks that hold festivities year-round, Snellville is a great place to live or visit. This also means that there’s more expected traffic. During events like concerts and the International Festival Briscoe Park holds every year, distracted driving increases and the likelihood for wrecks skyrocket. Don’t be driving dirty in Gwinnett County because many of the police cars are equipped with automatic tag readers which can instantly tell if you are driving uninsured.
Peachstate Insurance has worked within the Gwinnett County area since 2008 to provide the best car insurance for Georgia residents. We embrace the small-town feel of Snellville in all we do and dedicate our time to building life-long relationships with clients.
Car accidents in Snellville, Georgia are unfortunately frequent. The biggest sources of vehicle crashes tend to be:
- Distracted Driving. This may come as a surprise, but cellphones are not the number one factor in distracted driving. It’s actually food, which accounts for 80% of all car crashes. People run through a drive thru and attempt to eat while they drive and are thus distracted from the dangers of the road. This doesn’t mean cellphones aren’t a problem, however. Cell phone usage while driving causes around 1.6 million crashes every year.
- Drunk Driving. In 2018, Georgia had 21,784 DUI convictions. It’s now easier to find a ride home when drunk or tipsy with services like Uber and Lyft available, but drunk driving is still a huge problem nationwide. One person dies nearly every 48 minutes due to drunk driving in the U.S.
- Speeding. Running late to work is a common reason why people speed. Unfortunately, speeding can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle or the inability to stop in time. Georgia is an at-fault state, meaning that if you are the cause of an accident, you’re responsible for paying the damages. That’s why it’s important to have the best car insurance to keep you covered.
- Bad Weather. Rain, hail and floods make seeing the road and controlling the vehicle even harder. Unfortunately, all these environmental factors are frequent in Georgia.

FAQ
How Much Auto Insurance Coverage Should I Have?
Besides the amount of car insurance required by Georgia, you should have enough to cover you and your passengers in case of an accident. This typically includes comprehensive, collision, and personal injury protection (PIP) coverage.
Does Car Insurance Cover Vandalism?
Yes, comprehensive coverage (which usually comes with a standard car insurance policy) covers vandalism.
Why is Car Insurance Expensive in Georgia?
Georgia has a slightly higher car insurance premium average than the U.S. average. This is in part due to the state and partially due to the crime rate and amount of car accidents. Drivers in Georgia are more likely to file a car insurance claim, which makes car insurance premiums rise.
