As technology advances and develops, driving has become an increasingly safer mode of transportation. That said, your vehicle will always be as safe as you and other drivers behind the wheel. But this begs the question, how should you react when the road throws some unexpected hazards your way? At Pronto Insurance, we have the answers and the auto coverage, you need.
Wildlife
Roads aren’t just shared with other motorists. Sometimes, especially at night and early morning, wildlife can find their way to the tarmac and pose a real danger to unsuspecting drivers. It’s why driving is so essential, especially alert during these active hours. Remember, if a wild animal darts in front of you, hit your brakes, hold on to your steering wheel firmly, and honk your horn. Jerking your wheel away from danger can cause you to lose control and crash.
Floods
Countless vehicles are lost to floods and recklessness each year. If you live in an area prone to flooding, you’ve likely heard the adage, “turn around, don’t drown.” This saying has stood the test of time because it continues to hold a lot of weight. So, if you drive up to a sizeable puddle and don’t know how deep it may be, do the right thing and find an alternate route to your destination.
Newly Wet Roads
If your area has received its first rain in weeks or months, you must be extra cautious while driving. The oil, grease, and grime accumulated on the road with the lack of rain turn into a slippery hazard as soon as a few raindrops fall. We suggest you be mindful of your speed and stay alert during these times.
