Though general car safety has increased, drivers’ recklessness and neglect of traffic code maintain a high record of accidents on the road. Unfortunately, motorcycles account for a significant percentage of these accidents. Data shows that the frequency of motorcycle-related road cases has exceeded that of four-wheeled vehicles; with 60 of every 100,000 motorcycles experiencing accidents or motorcycle breakdowns.

When your motorcycle is involved in an accident, chances are traffic enforcement will not let it out of the road until their business is done; but what happens after? What happens if your motorcycle malfunctions in the middle of a trip, in a remote location, and you are not equipped with the tools to carry out a repair? For these untimely incidents, knowing a motorcycle towing company you can call and rely on 24/7 is extremely important. With all the potential perils on the road, neglecting this fact puts your safety and security at risk.

Be prepared at all times by avoiding the need for a motorcycle long distance tow. To do so, remember the following essential aspects as often as possible:

THOROUGH INSPECTION

One can hardly find a person that does not love or is not excited about the holiday season; everyone is thrilled for it. Thanksgiving and Christmas particularly are joyously celebrated all throughout America. During these much awaited times, one can easily find something gallivanting about the streets, the malls, the parks, and just about anywhere. To a lot of people, holidays are a time for shopping, a great opportunity for winter activities, and a time to make lovely memories while to others, it is a perfect time between a vacation and another vacation.

Cars are an important medium to get all holiday plans done. Long car trips are usually present during such times. In most cases, cars make up the bustling streets and add up to the beautiful city lights. However, they are usually least attended to during holidays.

Make sure your holiday travels are all smooth and safe. Ready your car for any holiday trips by running through this checklist:

·        Check your fuel supply. If you are to travel for long-distance, make sure you have more than a sufficient gas supply. Moreover, considering the climate and road conditions of your route is also advisable, especially during the holidays.

As Christmas and Thanksgiving seasons are usually cold, it usually makes the fuel hard to keep warm. Consequently, cold fuel makes engines difficult to start (even more so, combined with a dying battery). When this happens, the best thing to do is grab some fuel de-icer and keep it in your car at all times. Fuel de-icers are an effective tool for prevention; it will help you avoid having a frozen fuel. However, it will not do much if your fuel is already frozen.

If you’re driving long distance and don’t have a full tank, then you may risk running out of gas. We see this happening to a lot of out-of-towners.  If you’ve run out of gas, then we do offer flatbed towing.

·        Double check your windshield wipers. Before your travel date, do your share of weather forecast research and see if it is likely going to snow on that day. If yes, on top of your snow tires, make sure your windshield wipers are well conditioned and prepared. Go for the ones with rubber-clad or winter wiper blades. They are likely to assist you more, helping you keep your focus on the road.

·        Double check your lights. This holiday season is usually cold. You will not want to travel at night but just in case your long travel reaches the dark hours, make sure your lights are working properly. Lights are required in every car by the law for a reason. Your head lights, tail lights, hazard lights play their respective important role to make sure you get a safe trip as much as possible.

4. Stay in a safe shed or area while you wait for your tow truck to arrive.

But if you think staying inside your car is a safer move to make then make sure you lock your doors while you are inside and just open the window a little enough for you to talk with people from outside.

1. Secure a flashlight and store it somewhere accessible inside your vehicle at all times. During these tough times, you need to be visible.  

2. Have your cellular phone within reach at all times. (But never use your phone while driving. Once you do it, you know what you're in for!)

3. Prepare a storage for change inside your car. It can serve as an instant access to cab fare and emergency prepaid calls.

4. If your vehicle is in trouble, regardless if it is engine related or not, raising its hood automatically conveys a message that your vehicle is stuck and busted. It can serve the triangle flares' purpose in case you forgot to bring the latter.
