When driving on highways, it is an unfortunate fact that we often see accidents when cars drive off the road, collide with other cars, or inclement weather causes a loss of traction. Budget Brakes wants to remind all of its customers of how to drive around an accident.
•If you see an accident and no other cars or paramedics have stopped, pull off the road and call 911 for further instructions.
•If the accident is in the road and the cars have not yet pulled off the road, slow down to no more than 30 miles per hour as you go past the accident.
•Be aware of your own state’s laws. Some states require that you vacate the outside lane.
•Do not “rubberneck” or stare at the accident. Keep your eyes on the road for your own safety and the safety of cars around you.
Budget Brakes customers must be good drivers, even when others are not. By being attentive around an accident scene, instead of slowing down and staring at the victims, you set a good example for the other cars around you and the other people in your own car.
