Tips on What to Do After an Auto Accident
Car accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. According to Car-Accidents.net, they occur
approximately 6.4 million times each year. Although being involved in a car accident can be
overwhelming, knowing what to do in the moments following a fender-bender can help alleviate
some of the stress and confusion of the situation.
The service specialists at Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge offer the following tips on how to handle a car
accident: Don't leave the vehicle. Following an accident, most drivers will want to exit their
vehicles to check for damage or speak with others involved. Ideally, drivers should call the police
and remain in their cars until the authorities arrive. Drivers can protect themselves - both
physically and legally by remaining in their vehicles and allowing the Police to process the scene.
Cary a disposable camera use your Cell phone if it has memory. Although the police report should
capture the details of the accident it is always helpful to take photos for your own documentation.
After police are notified, call a towing service. You should know exactly who is towing your
vehicle and where it will be taken. For easy access, keep a small business card in your wallet that
contains the numbers of several tow-truck companies and your repair shop or dealership's service
department. Call your insurance company. Most people think of this as something to do later, but
calling from the scene will help to expedite the processing and administering of your claim. And,
you will be able to relay accurate information in real time instead of relying on memory.
Get an estimate on vehicle damage. Insurance companies may require only one estimate on
vehicle damage. However, it behooves the driver to get several estimates, which may vary
greatly. Review these reports carefully to understand what you are paying and what the insurance
company will cover. Don't be afraid to ask. Questions. Reputable repair shops will gladly address
questions regarding the required repairs

Snow Driving Tips
Practice makes perfect: you don't want to find out how your car
reacts in snow when you are sliding towards the truck in front of you. Find
an empty parking lot when ifs snowy and practice. Sneak up on the limits,
see how your car turns and stops. Get it sliding and practice regaining
control. Watch out for those light poles - they have a way of 'jumping' out
in front of you when you least expect it. Keep in mind that there are many
different driving conditions in a typical Colorado winter. The slushy wet
stuff feels very different than crunchy dry snow than does black ice.
Avoid any sudden moves: smoothness is your friend; it makes the race
car driver win the race and makes you safe on the road. Brake and
accelerate gently and begin the deceleration process long before you get
to a turn.
If you don't have daytime running lights, turn on your lights when the
visibility is low, even if you see well enough, make sure you are seen by
other drivers.
Traction Control is not AWD or 4WD. Many owners manuals will actually
advise you to turn off your traction control, if you are on gravel or snow or
ice. It is designed to work with the ONE tire that looses traction when you
hit a pot hole for example, but not for low traction situations on all four
wheels.
Many of the new technologies we have on cars today tend to lure drivers
into a false sense of security. There is no substitute for learning how to
drive in snowy or icy conditions.
