When you get behind the wheel, you have a responsibility to drive safely and do all you can to prevent an accident. Following these tips will help to reduce your chances of causing a crash.
Keep your car in good shape. One of the foremost causes of accidents is tires that are either under-inflated or that have the tread worn down too far. Take care of your tires and also make sure lights and windshield wipers are working. If you think you may need repairs, give us a call at Stinnett Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in Newport, TN.
Drive defensively. Always assume other drivers will potentially cause an accident and adjust accordingly. Don't speed, follow at a safe distance and don't wait too long to apply your brakes when stopping.
Avoid distractions. Don't use your phone in the car, don't eat while driving and wait until you have stopped to change the radio station.
Following these tips will help to lessen your chance of getting into a fender bender or serious crash.
