What to Do in Case of a Road Accident
We aren’t calling the back luck. We just want to make sure that you have the tools necessary to stay safe even when an emergency happen. While on the road, the possibilities of something “out of the blue” coming your way are very real. But that shouldn’t be a problem if you know what to do … and that is where we come in. Here at Palmen Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Racine, we want to make sure that you know what to do in case of a road accident in order to keep you and your family and loved ones always safe.
Let’s give them a good example.
The best thing you can do is to keep calm and keep on driving. For example, if you find yourself drifting to the ride side of the road, don’t panic and try to maneuver the car like in an action movie. The sudden right-left-right-left movement of the tires might actually cause the car to run off the road or even flip. Just allow your vehicle to slow down, which will also give you time to regain calm. Be smooth and steer away.
and .. let’s just see what happens.
We also recommend you to put it in neutral. Almost all passengers can do it as easily as the drivers. When does that work? When the accelerators might be stuck due to misplaced floor mats, or objects that shouldn’t really reach the driver’s side. All you have to remember is to stay calm – that’s when the ideas come in more clearly.
Since every car has a blind spot, it is important that you make sure that in case of an accident you have perfect visibility so that that moment doesn’t become something worse. For that, you can even get a spotter. Get somebody with better visibility than you to tell you when to go, stop or if they are some objects on your way. Something like having a third eye but less weird.
And remember that in case of an accident, always call the police. And don’t worry, any damage to you car, we will be glad to repair here at our service center. Give us a call and one of our expert representative will gladly set you up with an appointment. We are always here to help.
