Small Business Owners' Safe Driving Tips

Keep your vehicle maintained. Remember to have regular (professional) inspections, and repair or replace parts when necessary.

Keep a safe distance. You may be carrying more weight than other drivers if you're driving a truck.  Try to keep a two to three second distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.  You want to make sure you have enough room to come to a complete stop in case they slam on their brakes.

Pull over when you need to check directions or change destination.  Take the next exit or stop at the neares rest area (don't pull over on the freeway median).

Be ready for the unexpected.  My dad used to say "expect stupid". Be property insured. You should have liability and physical damage (covers damage you cause to your vehicle or someone else's) in case of an accident.

As a business owner that depends on transportion for work, reliable transportation is a must.  These tips will keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely while you're on the road.
