The research group (TRIP) found that South Carolina had 4.7 fatalities per 100 million rural miles driven in 2009. North Carolina wasn’t too far behind, ranking 11th nationally with 2.74 deaths per 100 million miles driven on rural roads.
Rural driving is considered anything outside of the commuting zone of cities with a population of 50,000 or more. The common problem with these country roads and especially in South Carolina is that they tend to have very narrow lanes. The study found that 34% of fatal crashes on the roads were a result of a vehicle going off of the road. The other major cause of fatal accidents was head-on collisions at 15%.

For protection against flood damage, a flood insurance policy is needed. NC insurance coverage for a flood is a special policy backed by the Federal Government (NFIP) along with local communities and private insurance companies.
Flooding can happen anywhere and at anytime, but certain areas are considered more prone to serious flooding. Often times, if a home is located in a moderate- to high-risk flood zone, then homeowner’s are required to purchase a flood insurance policy (lenders require it before giving you a mortgage).
