Save off the pavement!

If you are in the right lane of a grassy medium divide four lane highway...and someone comes up
around you and cuts in too short and forces right off the pavement and your right side wheels drop off the pavement.....STAY OFF THE PAVEMENT!

Of course reflexes kick in and you want to swerve to the left back up onto the pavement!! TRY NOT TO DO THIS...you know why? Because at the high speed you are going...you will lose control and swerve way over to the LEFT through the medium and into an INNOCENT on
coming vehicle and probably kill the driver and passengers.....you will be crippled up at best, if not dead yourself.

Let's try this again.....you are forces off the pavement...your two right side wheels drop down about six inches off the payment onto the shoulder......gradually slow down.....take your foot
off the gas pedal...continue to drive STRAIGHT/FORWARD in the same direction you were
traveling before the wheels dropped off....gradually (KEYWORD HERE) slow down...drive all the way off....or if no one is coming behind you....slow down till about <20>
steering wheel gradually to the left and get back onto the pavement.... I learned this in
High School Driver's Education. Keep your head about you....relax and think.....it may save your life and someone else's. Remember! Your life can change forever in a second!

Keep your tires up to date...check the tread..and pressure regularly....take your car to a qualified DEALER mechanics for your brand of car. THEY ARE TRAINED to work on your car and spot possible upcoming problems. Why get oil changes at quickly lube stations serviced by untrained, minimum waged youth when you can get qualified service at a dealer for about the same amount of money. There is such no comparison! And when you wait for an oil change at my Toyota dealer it only takes about twenty minutes and costs about 29.00 and I get an overall 21 point check over to my car.

My advice even though no one asked is DO NOT SKIMP ON ANYTHING REGARDING YOUR SAFETY. Oh and have AAA towing service!! When bills stack up people tend to drop these important things....but rather should cut back on clothes or latte spending and make sure to stay safe. Good tires, good battery, regular oil changes and AAA are necessities.

Take care of your car and it will take care of you! It's as simple as that! (same with your BODY!)
