Driving in a lot of traffic can be dangerous, particularly if you are used to relying on public transportation to do so. Keep in mind the following matters when doing so in order to improve your safety while on the road.

- Scope out the route you will need to drive before you leave and be aware of the possibility of one-way roads and other obstructions. Be sure to have alternative routes laid out in the case of traffic, or other problems emerge while you are on the road, and the larger buildings block out your GPS signal.

- Be firm but not too aggressive, particularly if there are a lot of service vehicles or taxis driving around. You cannot be too timid while driving in heavy traffic, but you don’t want to risk an accident. A more measured approach is ideal.

- Don’t rush and be prepared for traffic problems when you are driving.

Because traffic can be a constant stop and go, make sure your vehicle is properly maintained. By coming in for regular maintenance at Dolan Mazda in Reno, NV, we can help make sure your vehicle has efficiently working parts for your traffic filled days.
