Handling Common Road Hazards in Your Lexus

The unfortunate truth is that a lot of drivers are relatively unaware of what they need to do when they encounter some sort of trouble on the road. There can and will be times when you are faced with hazards of some kind and it is all about the way that you handle each unique situation. Our staff at Keyes Lexus, proud member of Keyes Cars, wants you to know that we not only offer a wide range of used cars in Van Nuys but we want to make sure that you have the information you need to keep yourself safe and ensure your vehicle is damage free. We have put together some common road hazards and how you can address them.

Skidding – You can run into wet roads that may cause your Lexus ES 350 to skid out of control. If this happens, it is best that you take your foot off of the gas and pick a focal point down the road in front of you to steer toward. Never slam on the brakes and always keep your eyes on the road.

A Car Hits Your Car – If you get hit by another car, the initial impact can leave you disoriented and it is common to go through a range of emotions. It is best that you remain calm and try to steer your vehicle to a safe area off of the road, if possible. If you are okay, then check other passengers before calling 911 to report the accident and any injuries.

Should you find yourself in a situation where a road hazard got the best of you and your vehicle is damaged, we have a team of trained car service technicians at Keyes Lexus who can take a look. You will find us conveniently located at 5905 Van Nuys Blvd in Los Angeles, CA. If you have any questions when it comes to used car selection or financing, please call us at (844) 267-7221.
