Traveling Safe on the Road

When you are traveling this summer, you will want to remember to drive safely. With many others on the road, you will want to make sure you drive slowly and at the posted speed. Also make sure that as you switch lanes, you signal an appropriate amount of time. Those that are driving around you will want to be aware when you are switching lanes or stopping. If you notice that there is an issue with the blinkers and turn signals, make sure that you contact us. Schedule an appointment so we can inspect the vehicle for you. This will also help to improve your safety when you drive as well.

Traveling at the Speed Limit

You will also want to make sure that you drive at the posted speed limit. When you drive the recommended speed limit, you will prevent the chance of getting a speeding ticket. You will also want to prevent going at a much slower speed. Those behind you will not be aware of the speed and have an increased chance of rear-ending you. If you do end up driving at a slower speed, make sure to put on your hazard lights so people can be aware of it. If you are not sure what the speed limit is, some GPS systems will have the speed limit for the roads you drive on.

 

Leaving enough space between you and the vehicle in front of you is also important. That way if the person ends up slamming on the brakes, you will have plenty of time to see them and apply the brakes yourself. If you are not leaving the appropriate amount of space between you and the vehicle, there can be an accident. It will also help incase they need to switch lanes suddenly. This allows you enough time to adjust your driving as well. If you notice any issues while driving your vehicle, make sure to contact us. By scheduling an appointment, we can give the vehicle a bumper to bumper inspection for you.
