LeaseTrader.com Announces List of Top Driving Hazards & Challenges

ONLINE MEDIA | By | |
LeaseTrader.com received feedback from more than 2,000 customers online and found the top 10 driving hazards/challenges that scare people the most. According to the results, escaping a submerged or sinking vehicle tops the list for almost half of those polled (41%).

LeaseTrader.com, the nationwide online marketplace for Car Lease transfers, set up the poll in an effort to raise awareness of National Car Care Month and help people become more prepared for hazards involved with driving. LeaseTrader.com asked customers to submit their biggest driving hazard/challenge, and then ranked the answers by volume of response. More than 2,000 customers responded with what they felt was their biggest worry when it comes to driving their vehicle.

"Hazards and other challenging situations are a daily occurrence when operating a vehicle, and it's important that drivers are as prepared as possible if and when they occur," said John Levine, customer advisor at LeaseTrader.com. "Many times these challenges can take place even if you're driving appropriately or if your vehicle is at rest."

Each year people get trapped swept away by floodwaters, in addition to accidents where people lose control of their vehicle and drive into a body of water. Experts say it's important to try and remain calm and lower your window to escape before the car is completely submerged. With motor-powered widows, the car will still have electricity for a minute or two even in salt water. Free yourself and then free any others also in the car with you.

Other top hazards/challenges according to the results:
Driving with a tire blow out (18%)
Driving in snow and ice (12%)
Changing a tire (11%)
Changing a blown fuse (6%)
Jump starting a vehicle (5%)
Changing your windshield wipers (3%)
Driving with a stick shift (2%)
Parallel parking (1%)
Checking tire pressure (1%)
