Many of us wait all year for the much anticipated family vacation.  It is a time for making memories, eating great food, and seeing the sights.  What can be stressful is getting there, especially when you have children.  Your Toyota dealer near Philadelphia wants you to have a successful road trip this summer, and is offering tips on how to make it as smooth as possible.

 

Make a Plan

 

For a long trip, it is important that you plan stops along the way. It is important for using the bathroom, refueling, stretching your legs, and getting some nutrition.  Check the map beforehand and plan where the stops will be.  It helps if you can have gas and food breaks be in the same stop to save on time.  If you can, find a little town on the way that has interesting attractions to keep the kids happy.  Even a park or playground will let them stretch their legs and run around, making them tired and sleepy until the next stop.

 

Pack Entertainment

 

Don’t just get into the car and begin to fiddle with the radio until you find something everyone likes.  Plan ahead with CDs that the whole family can sing along to.  If you have a DVD system, get the movies ready and make sure you have ones that will cover the length of the trip.  If that’s not your thing, provide the kids with some activity books or other family games.

 

Family Games

 

Songs are fun, but it is good to have a game that keeps the whole family engaged. “I Spy” is a great way to get kids looking out the window for license plates, scenery, wildlife and road signs. Another fun game is a family trivia game where you ask kids questions about different family members.  It keeps them in touch with the history of your clan as well.

Summer car travel freedom woman in Yosemite ParkSummer is an exciting time for kids and adults. Unfortunately, the increase in activity means more hazards on the road, and new problems that can go wrong with your vehicle. Not to worry though!  Your local Pennsylvania Toyota dealership has summer driving tips to keep you and others safe.

Check Your Tires | Hatfield Toyota Services

As the temperatures heat up, the air in your tires can expand. This means if your tires have some wear on them, they are especially susceptible to a blowout. You should check the pressure once a month, including the spare. Read your owner’s manual for the correct amount that should be in the tire, and always check when they are cold. Remember to schedule an appointment to keep your vehicles at their best!

Watch for Kids

More teenage, inexperienced drivers are on the road in the summer because school is out. Their lack of practice can mean danger for seasoned drivers. They may have judgement that has not developed yet and raises the risk of an accident. Teenagers have the highest accident rate than other age groups, so keep you eyes open for them during the summer.

Beat the Heat

The temperatures can get pretty high, so make sure you stay hydrated, on a long drive. Be prepared for the seats to be warm, especially when wearing shorts. Invest in a sun visor to keep the interior temperature from going sky high.  When using the air conditioner a lot, there is a chance your engine can overheat. If this happens, pull off the road immediately so it can cool down and you can call for help.

InsuranceCar insurance fraud affects more than the victim and the car insurance company; it impacts everyone. Car insurance fraud can be as simple as lying about your address for lower rates, or as severe as dumping your car. Whatever the offense, car insurance fraud costs consumers billions of dollars. Toyota dealer in Doylestown area is discussing car insurance fraud.

 

1.      Bodily injury claims

Bodily injury fraud occurs when claimants file false claims for nonexistent injuries, or they dramatize the legitimacy of their injuries. Common bogus claims are whiplash injuries and back pain. These injury claims result in $4 billion to $6 billion extra to be paid out in accidents. When payouts increase, the insurance company attempts to recover the loss by charging all of their policyholders more.

2.      Application fraud

This occurs when applicants lie about the type of car they have, existing damage, the address where the car is garaged, or the number of miles driven per year.

3.      Staged accidents

Staged accidents occur when thieves create a situation that results in a car accident. The thief files a claim against the policyholder and squeezes money out of the car insurance company for fraudulent physical damage and bodily injury claims.

4.      Inflated vehicle repairs

If a Pennsylvania body shop increases an estimate for unnecessary repairs, it is fraud. Also, some windshield companies file fraudulent claims for unnecessary windshield repairs or window replacements.

5.      Dumping

Dumping occurs when a policyholder willingly engages in getting rid of a car, and then they report it stolen to the insurance company, hoping it will be declared a total loss.

5 Things Your Old Tires Are Not Telling You

  1. 3.      My spare is going to fail you

How old is your spare?  When you replace your tires, you should be inspecting your spare as well and replacing it.  If your spare is in poor shape, you don’t want to find that out when you are stuck on the side of the road or driving on the dangerous spare.
