1. One of the simplest ways to avoid an auto accident or visit the collision repair center is to make sure you can see clearly while you drive. Before leaving the parking lot, check your windshield to ensure good visibility. You may need to wipe it down from sleet on the outside or vapor on the inside. Do NOT drive off until you are able to clearly see out both the front and back windows. While you are at, be sure to check and prepare your mirrors as well. Keep old clean old clothes in your vehicle to ensure you are always prepared. Some auto shops even sell specialized rags for this very purpose.
2. Be sure to move a little more slowly during poor weather conditions. Braking and accelerating at a gentler pace will help you maintain control of your vehicle and provide you with more time to react to unexpected circumstances.
3. If you are unable to avoid an auto accident, be sure you are prepared! Equip your vehicle with a first aid and roadside emergency kit. Your kit should include (at least) a fire extinguisher, warning lights or flares, flashlight, and most importantly, your mobile phone. Be sure you keep our collision center phone number programmed into your phone or stored away in your glove compartment for easy access.
