When it comes to doing the minimum, SafeAuto really does it the best. Our spokesperson Norm MacDonald wholeheartedly agrees and expresses this sentiment in the state minimum auto insurance company’s latest video.

Norm conveys this message by telling viewers that he thought he was good at doing the minimum, but when comparing himself to SafeAuto Insurance, he really has nothing on them. In fact, he even goes as far as to say that the folks at SafeAuto put him to shame!

When looking at car accident data, the data used is whatever has been collected from the car crashes that happen every day and every year. But what about the almost crashes? They’ve happened to everyone. The time you dropped your lipstick on the ground and almost swerved into the car next to you when you were bending down to pick it up. The time you almost hit that biker that literally appeared out of nowhere. The time you looked at your phone for a split second and almost went through a red light and right into the mini van across the street. How many times a day do these almost accidents happen? Well, we don’t really know because they are just that… Almost accidents.

Can the data from these incidents help to prevent those accidents that actually do happen? Transportation Alternatives in NYC thinks that it can. “The near-miss and minor crash data just doesn’t exist. There’s no way to capture it because it is, by nature, unofficial,” explains Jennifer So Godzeno, the associate director for community research at Transportation Alternatives. “I’ve heard from so many citizens that ‘I see people almost get hit here all the time, and how come we have to wait until someone gets killed in order to fix it?’”

So, in order to start fixing this problem, Transportation Alternatives recently rolled out a web platform, CRASH stories NYC, which invites New Yorkers to map their run-ins and near-misses.

Do you think that this is something that can help prevent some future crashes? Is this a platform that should be rolled out nationwide? We want to hear from you with your opinion. To share your thoughts, visit SafeAuto on Facebook. .

Travis Browne can’t wait to get back into the Octagon. After a disappointing loss due to injury versus Antonio Silva, ‘Hapa’ wants to show the fighting world that his last bout was a fluke.

In an interview with ProMMANow.com, Browne stated, “coming off this loss I really have something to prove, not to everybody else but to myself, knowing that that’s a fluke and that my train has been derailed only because my body gave out.”

Browne will be fighting UFC® veteran Gabriel Gonzaga. After a yearlong break, Gonzaga returned to the Octagon in 2012 with a first-round submission of Ednaldo Oliveira at UFC 142. Most recently, the onetime heavyweight title challenger tapped Ben Rothwell with a memorable guillotine choke in the second round of their UFC on FX 7 bout. Browne on the other hand went unbeaten in his first five UFC® appearances before suffering the TKO defeat to Silva at UFC on FX 5.

“I’m feeling as strong and ready as ever,” said Browne in a Tweet to @SafeAuto. The state minimum auto insurance company is excited to support Browne with logo representation on his entrance hat and fighting trunks as he looks to get back to his winning ways.
