Quick Guide: How to avoid getting car dents

It usually happens when you least expect it to. As you are walking up to your car you notice something that wasn’t there before when you parked your car. For something that happens in just seconds, car dents and scratches take a lot of time and money to get rid of. Car dents and scratches are an inevitable part of parking in public spaces. So we came up with a few different ways you can help avoid damages.

1.      Keep a look out for slanted parking lots - Most drivers are able to accurately park straight when the parking lines are slanted. This also helps avoid tight squeezes between cars.

2.      Keep your distance – Choose to park at the end of the lot as much as you can. A little bit of walking never hurt anyone.

3.       Keep a safety cushion – This is leaving enough amount of space between you and the car in front of you while driving on the road. Many car dents that occur often happen due to people driving on each other’s tail.

4.      Keep your garage area clear – If you park in a garage at home, make sure that the space is cleared so that nothing can fall over or scratch your vehicle by rubbing against it as you pull in.

5.      Parallel Parking – Believe it or not, parallel parking is the safest way to park!

6.      Parking under hardwood trees – This should be something you should avoid.  Sadly, trees can easily dent and scratch your vehicle.

7.      Parking next to larger vehicles – Trucks and SUV’s equal large doors.

8.      Neglected vehicles – When parking next to a vehicle that doesn’t seem to be well maintained, think of it this way: If the owner doesn’t care about their car, they won’t care about yours.

9.      Used one space, one space only – Never park over two parking spaces- people could vandalize your vehicle due to frustration.

A Complete Guide to Speed Limits

Before you hit the road, here's what you should know about speed limits. You may know your way around your hometown, but when it comes to traveling to other states, you are going to want to keep an eye on your speedometer.  Speed limits are unfortunately not the same everywhere. So how fast you are allowed to drive can vary widely across the country.  

A handful of jurisdictions maintain a respectable 55-mph limit on urban routes, while others keep theirs at 60, 65 or 70.  There are even a total of seven states that allow a head-spinning 75 mph on urban roadways, and on certain stretches of rural highways, it soars to 80 or even 85 mph. Unless otherwise posted, 55 mph is the default limit on two-lane rural roads in many states.

In case you’re curious, below is a list of the slowest and fastest states for urban speed limit. Take a look!
