Driving in Cabazon: What to Know
Most Cabazon workers drive alone, about 77% compared with 67% statewide. Nobody in the data commutes by transit or works from home, so the car is how people get to work. The average trip takes about 36 minutes, well above the state's 29, and I-10 carries much of that traffic. That adds up to high yearly mileage, so liability limits above the 30/60/15 minimum are worth a look, since a longer time on the road raises your exposure.

Countywide theft is about 2.2 per thousand people, below the state's 3.2, so risk is lower than average. Comprehensive still covers fire, flood, vandalism and theft, and liability-only will not pay for your own car.
