Family of Rum River Auto

In the summertime, your neighborhood can be quite a hub of activity. The kids are outside, just wanting to have fun and the parents are either leaving for or coming home from work. As a reminder, a car service center wants you to remember that in residential communities, kids often play in the street, riding their bikes, throwing a football, or chasing the family pet. Drivers need to be on the lookout for small children darting out of nowhere, many times unaware of their surroundings.

Safety Tips From a Car Service Center: Look out For Kids Playing In The Street

1.The first tip is to make sure you visit a quality car service center and have your brakes checked. Sometimes being able to protect a child means adequately being able to put on brakes. In fact, it could mean a matter of seconds! Your brakes must be able to respond to the sudden braking.

2.Pay attention to your surroundings. Look ahead of your vehicle 100 feet for children playing in residential neighborhoods. Expect to see them playing outside and in the street. Often times, most children that are hit by a vehicle occurs during the summer in a residential neighborhood.

3. Slow down! You may be running late, have to get dinner, or pick Susie up from practice, but proceeding with caution through a residential area, playgrounds, schools, or park (especially during the summer) is critical.

4. Be aware of the "children at play" sign. If you notice children at play in a particular area that doesn't have a sign, go ahead and petition for one. Remember a car outweighs a child by a couple tons. Think smart behind the wheel.

Make sure your vehicle is ready for safe summer driving by taking care of routine car service. Contact our ASE Certified Technicians at Rum River Automotive for more information and to schedule an appointment for a needed car repair. Rum River also offers quality auto detailing services. Since 1997, our auto shop has served vehicle owners in Princeton, MN and in the surrounding areas of Milaca and Zimmerman, MN.
