Beat traffic woes this holiday season with our Clermont Toyota dealership! 

Tip #1: Stay cool. Our Clermont Toyota dealership reminds you to try and stay stress-free (and rage-free) on the road. Leave yourself a bit of extra time to get to your holiday destination with the knowledge that the roads will be busy, and consider plotting out a second possible route just in case things get too bad! Also consider bringing snacks, a drink, and games for younger passengers to keep them occupied if you find yourself delayed! 
Tip #2: Avoid distracted driving. This means eating, drinking, putting on makeup, fixing your hair, using your cell phone, fiddling with your radio, or anything else that takes the attention OFF of driving your Clermont Toyota car. You should keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel at all times! Our dealership recommends streaming phone calls wirelessly via Bluetooth so you don’t have to hold the phone, and use available voice-command controls to ensure you keep your hands on the wheel at all time! 
Tip #3: Use defensive driving! Defensive driving is one of the most important tools to have in your arsenal when it comes to dealing with tough holiday traffic. Practice defensive driving in your Clermont Toyota by paying close attention to your surroundings – you should try to anticipate accidents before they happen, rather than just reacting to them! Drive your Clermont Toyota vehicle according to the rules of the road (i.e. follow the speed limit, use your turn signals, etc.) and be sure to leave enough space between you and other cars to avoid a rear-end collision!

Tip #4: Make sure your car can handle it. Holiday traffic means you’ll probably be spending more time on the road than normal, so make sure your car can handle the pressure! This means staying on top of routine car maintenance like tire rotations, oil changes, battery checks, brake service, and fluid upkeep. Our Clermont Toyota Service Center can help you with all of the above (and save you big bucks while we’re at it). No one wants to be stranded on the side of the road with a dead battery or flat tire, especially during the most wonderful time of the year!
