1. Toyota of Clermont teaches you to navigate
safely in the rain with your new Toyota!

2. If you’re familiar with Central Florida, then you know that even after the summer
comes to a close the rainy season is still thriving. Hurricane season doesn’t
officially end until the end of November which means there is a lot of potential for
heavy rains and tropical storms to come our way! Unfortunately, rain isn’t a
reason to cancel work or school, so you must learn how to navigate safely
through torrential downpours in your new Toyota near Orlando!

4. Drive safely through bad weather with your new Toyota
Slips, slides, skids and slams are some of the words associated with driving in rainy weather. If you’re
nervous about driving in these conditions, it’s always safe to pull over your new Toyota near Orlando to
the side of the road; however, if you’re stuck on a busy highway or a street with nowhere to pull over
safely you should continue driving. We compiled a set of safe driving tips for you to use when you get
stuck in a rainy situation on the roads!
Follow the speed limit: As you probably already know, rain causes the roads to become incredibly
slippery which makes it difficult for your wheels to gain traction. This is why many fender-benders and
car accidents happen in the rain. Don’t underestimate the conditions outside! Stay in one lane, abide by
the speed limit (slow down even more if you have to) and keep your eyes on the road!
Keep both hands on the wheel: One hand on the steering wheel and the other hand fiddling around
with the buttons on your iPhone 6 Plus is a recipe for disaster. Keeping both hands on the wheel while
driving your new Toyota through the rain will keep you focused and in control of your car! Safe Toyota
cars near Orlando are equipped with safety mechanisms to prevent accidents but that’s not a reason to
drive careless!
Turn on your headlights: It is a law that if you have your windshield wipers going, your headlights need
to be turned on as well. Keeping your headlights on will increase your visibility and the awareness of the
traveling vehicles around you! If your windshield wipers or headlights aren’t functioning properly, bring
your new Toyota to our Toyota Service Center near Orlando and let our technicians take care it!
Practice defensive driving with your new Toyota near Orlando!
One important tip most drivers tend to forget about is when to use hazard lights. Driving with your
hazards on is illegal because it confuses other drivers and should only be used for stopped vehicles.
Unless you are stopped on the side of the road do not turn on your hazard lights! Be aware of your
surroundings, maintain focus, and follow the rules of the road. You will arrive to your destination safely
if you follow these tips!
