ROAD SAFETY TIPS TO REMEMBER AS OUR COUNTRY REOPENS AFTER COVID-19

COVID-19 has sidelined many Americans from taking the wheel during the more extreme months of the pandemic. As the country slowly gets back on its feet, there will be initial hesitation for much of the populace to take public transportation. This will result in more people driving their own cars, increasing the number of vehicles on the road. A good number of them will likely encounter a learning curve as they reacquaint themselves with life on the road, making them more vulnerable to the risk of accidents and road rage incidents. Drivers are bound to become disoriented and confused, putting themselves and other road users in danger. And when a traffic situation eventually ends in a fender-bender, there’s considerable damage on the vehicle to deal with. There’s no utterly fool-proof way to protect yourself and your car against such a hassle, but when it happens, The Collision Kings has you covered.

Travelers will be making a conscious effort to avoid mass transit, including taxi and rideshare services, leading to more people taking their chances in the driver’s seat. Who can blame them if they’re wary of other people they don’t share a household with? They’re more likely to endure long-distance interstate drives than risk being infected by strangers on domestic flights. That’s all the more reason to be vigilant on the streets, especially during holidays. People spending an extended amount of time driving to their destinations will tend to be more fatigued, made even more dangerous by going in unfamiliar areas and adverse weather conditions, ending up in the inevitable mishap on the road. The Collision Kings have you covered, with a staff of expert technicians trained to service the industry’s leading automotive brands, ensuring quality work from start to finish.

More drivers on the streets mean an increased likelihood of accidents, and we’ve got a few road safety tips in mind to help you avoid the worst of what the increased vehicular traffic brings. Try to limit your travels to the daytime, especially during winter when daylight hours are shorter. Always get your car checked up before going on a long trip, taking note of suspension issues that can compromise handling and control at high speeds. Anticipate that the drive could take longer than usual and allow a 20 percent extension on your travel time. Use travel or navigational app to help guide you with estimated arrival times. Slow down when driving over loose road surfaces, even when your car has an all-wheel drivetrain. Don’t take the wheel when you’re tired, as fatigue compromises your reflexes and mental alertness. And avoid confrontations with angry drivers; it’s just not worth it. But when the worst happens, despite your best efforts, we’ve got your back. A tow truck or flatbed can be readily deployed to your location if your car can’t make it to our facilities under its own power. We offer a complete selection of factory-spec colors and processes guaranteed to make your ride looking like new again, apart from other services we offer, such as precise bra installation and spray-in bed liners for your pickups.
