Whilst the latter may seem easier in the short-term, it\u2019s actually a lot messier and less glamorous than you might think. You then have to eat brains, battle the psychological torture of whether you should eat your own brother and hang out in hospitals, supermarkets and garages more than you ever did in your human state.<\/p>\n<p>In that case, let\u2019s say you opt to fight \u2013 what then? Well, you need a plan. You need to think about where you\u2019re going to go, what you\u2019ll fight with and your getaway vehicle of choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to go<br \/>\n<\/strong>Rather than take your lead from Simon Pegg and head down to your local, you should think about the main areas in which zombies congregate and avoid them at all costs. Stay clear of densely populated areas and head for the ocean \u2013 very rarely do you see a sea-borne zombie. If you live near a fortress then lucky you, head for that. Your best bet, in fact, could be to stay at home with your back to a wall, wielding a large weapon, which leads us to our next point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choosing your weapon<br \/>\n<\/strong>Now, this all depends on what you have available to you. People seldom plan ahead for a worldwide apocalypse so it\u2019s likely that your zombie-killing instrument of choice will come from what\u2019s already in your shed, garage or kitchen drawers. Farmers would have a great advantage at this point, with outbuildings full of fancy gadgets and pitchforks, whilst accountants may be slightly more limited. This is when the kitchen comes into its own. Otherwise, you may need to drive to the nearest B&amp;Q.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your getaway vehicle<br \/>\n<\/strong>This brings us to the final stage of your three-step plan. Your getaway vehicle. At the beginning of a zombie apocalypse, you\u2019re limited to what you already own, be it a car, van, bike, scooter or motorhome. And there\u2019s a good chance it\u2019s going to get pretty roughed up. Ideally, you\u2019re going to want something which doesn\u2019t leave you exposed to the elements or the flesh-eating ruffians you may encounter on the roads. A van would be ideal for this and could provide you with much-needed shelter should you find yourself surrounded only by zombie-filled establishments.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing is that you\u2019ve got insurance that holds up. In the event of an apocalypse, your vehicle will be subject to numerous risks, from getting the paintwork scratched by a horde of angry zombies to running out of petrol and breaking down during your getaway. Specialised car insurance will give you the peace of mind that you\u2019re financially protected against these very real dangers. Providing you or your insurers don\u2019t get turned into the walking dead in the meantime, that is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In conclusion\u2026<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u2026 OK, we admit it, in the event of a zombie apocalypse, you probably won\u2019t be needing car insurance. Let\u2019s face it, you can probably borrow a Porsche from one of the many abandoned auto shops if your own vehicle gets smashed up by hungry zombies. But whilst we\u2019re still free from a state of global emergency, a dedicated insurance policy can protect you or your business from a variety of threats.<\/p>\n<p>Contact\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.networkportfolio.co.uk\/ncinsurance.co.uk\/\"><strong>NC Insurance<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to find out how we can arrange a policy to help keep you or your business moving&#8230;\u00a0 even when faced with a ravenous horde of zombies.
