We look forward to helping you slip behind the wheel of a new Toyota that fits your needs and budget. See you soon!
Failing to signal.
- It’s important to let other drivers and pedestrians know your next move so they can slow down and accommodate. We recommend signaling at least 100 feet in advance.
Riding the brakes.
- Riding your brakes can cause excess strain on your brakes. Keep your foot off the brake and only use when/ if necessary.
Rolling through stop signs.
- We know this is a habit many struggle with but to ensure everyone’s safety, it’s important to come to a complete stop at any and every intersection you approach.
Slowing down to look at crashes or construction.
- Rubbernecking is not only dangerous, but can contribute to a chain reaction of slowed traffic and potential crashes. Keep your eyes on the road ahead of you to ensure you’re following road rules or police directions.
Sudden stops.
- Always be on alert and anticipate when you might need to stop. Sudden stops will create excess wear on brake pads.
Fast starts.
- Accelerate at a slow smooth rate, peeling away uses excess gas, and may be putting a strain on the key components of your engine.
Running yellow or red lights.
- Doing so can increase your chance of a car crash. If the light turns yellow before you reach the intersection, it’s best not to risk it and wait for the next green light.
Disregarding the speed limit.
- While speed limits vary by state and are typically posted, we recommend using the following ranges as a general guide if you don’t see a posted speed limit:
- Residential area: 15-30 mph
- Undivided road (rural): 40-55 mph
- Divided road (rural): 55-70 mph
- Freeway: 55-65 mph
