If you’ve just purchased a new vehicle from your Butler Chrysler dealership, congratulations! You’ve purchased a very safe new car or SUV, as Chrysler is widely respected for its safety features. You can further decrease your chances of being in an accident by practicing a few defensive driving tips:
· One thing drivers can do to drastically reduce their chance of being in an accident is to stay in the same lane. Many accidents happen when motorists change lanes. Staying in one lane reduces your chances of getting hit or hitting another vehicle.
· Following too close is a leading cause of rear-end accidents. When driving your Chrysler, keep two car lengths or more behind the driver in front of you while moving. Also leave adequate room at stops to avoid accidents.
· Be aware of bad drivers. If you see someone swerving on the road or driving aggressively, your best option is to stay clear of them. Staying away from bad drivers means staying focused on the road. Avoid distractions, and keep your eyes and hearing focused on what’s going on around you as you drive.
· Watch your speed. Speed is a major contributor to accidents, particularly severe ones. Stay within the speed limit and, especially, avoid in-town speeding, as the more cars there are around while you are speeding, the more likely it is that you’ll get in an accident.
