NORTHBROOK, Ill., Oct. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Motorcyclists are about
37 times more likely than car occupants to die in a crash,
according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Allstate is helping bikers stay safe on the road by donating
$5 to Road Guardians for every person
who calls for a quote for motorcycle insurance.
"I believe Allstate's coverage for cyclists is the best there
is. But, we know that regardless of insurance coverage, a rider has
to take personal steps to ensure safety on the road," said
Chuck Paul, vice president of
Allstate's emerging businesses. "Anyone who gets a quote for their
bike through Allstate is helping their fellow riders stay safe at
the same time."
Allstate's quote donation program with the Road Guardians will
run through December 31, 2010. Road
Guardians provides safety and education resources to cyclists,
including a first responder-based curriculum that teaches riders
how to start proper & effective emergency care at the scene of
a motorcycle accident until help arrives. To date, nearly one-third
of the students who've received Road Guardians first-responder
training have used their skills within three years of
instruction.
"The funding from Allstate will be used to help train and
educate road riders to be there for their fellow cyclists when they
need it most," said Vicki Sanfelipo, president of Road Guardians.
"We're working with Allstate to help save lives by offering
on-the-road training to help prevent and respond to crashes."
Riders who are interested in getting a quote from Allstate that
benefits Road Guardians can call 877-871-0500 for a motorcycle
insurance quote. For every completed quote, $5 will go to the Road Guardians.
DISCLAIMER: No purchase necessary. Program applies to motorcycle
insurance. For each quote received, $5 will benefit the Road Guardians. Maximum
Allstate donation is $100,000.
Program donations limited to quotes received beginning now and
ending December 31, 2010. This
promotion is not available in AL, AK, ME, MA, NC, NY and UT. The
