All across the Libertyville, IL area, Volvo drivers have praised our team at Fields Volvo Cars Northfield. We’re a Volvo dealership that believes in more than just selling cars; we also believe that as a dealership, it is our responsibility to share some of our in-depth automotive knowledge to keep you safe while out on the road.
The road can be unpredictable, as conditions change throughout any given day. That said, there are a number of hazards that you should be aware of before taking to the pavement, and better yet, you ought to know how to avoid them.
One of the most common road hazards are those caused by poor weather. Snow, rain, and ice can all pose a challenge for your tires, and in some instances can cause them to lose traction. In order to avoid this danger, we urge drivers to avoid driving during poor road conditions, or if you have to go out, to drive carefully.
Another common hazard on the road is the road itself. Maintaining roadways is a challenge, and sometimes they can end up being neglected. Potholes and sudden dips can suddenly end in a blowout, which can be particularly dangerous at high speeds. In order to avoid this, we suggest that drivers remain fully aware of the road at all times.
Our last, most common road hazard is the drivers that you share the road with. Other drivers can be incredibly unpredictable, and in some cases can even be reckless behind the wheel. Although thanks to Volvo’s suite of safety features like blind-spot and lane-departure warnings you can mitigate the risk posed by other drivers.
If you want to experience some of the next-level safety features that Volvo offers to protect its driver’s from road hazards, our team can give you a comprehensive test drive. At Fields Volvo Cars Northfield, we offer a wide range of new Volvo cars to choose from, many of which are specifically designed to protect drivers from the hazards of the road.
