No matter how well you drive, accidents can still happen. When you are in an auto collision, you need to take certain steps. Here's a list put together by our team here at Crest Honda to help you through any accident you are in.

The first step is to address any injuries. If anyone is injured, call 911. If possible, move vehicles to the emergency lane. Anyone who is not injured should move off the road. Put out warning flares or reflective triangles to warn oncoming traffic of the accident scene. 

When you're trying to reduce glare while driving, wear sunglasses during the day. This will help to decrease the glare from the sun, especially if you're driving in the middle of the day when the sun is usually at its brightest. Another option would be to get a pair of anti-glare glasses prescribed by your doctor.

Make sure your headlights are clean. If your headlights are dirty, then a large percentage of the light from them is usually blocked. This can sometimes enhance the glare from other vehicles while you're driving on the road.

When it comes to buying new vehicles, the choices may seem endless. One important decision you’ll have to make is what type of bed liner you get for your truck. Here’s some information that can help you narrow things down.

A drop-in liner is constructed to fit your bed snugly, and it’s bolted into place once in the right position.

The crankshaft controls your engine's pistons, while the camshaft opens and closes the engine's valves.
