Whether it’s a fender bender or a full-on collision, the aftermath of an accident can leave your car damaged and difficult to drive. While some drivers may assume that there is no harm in continuing to drive the car if it is still operational, the fact of the matter is that by driving a damaged car on the road, you not only put yourself and others at risk, but you can also harm your car further. Rather than driving the damaged vehicle, it’s best to call a towing service.

Below are three reasons why a towing service is your best bet after your car’s drivability has been compromised:

  • towing serviceStay Safe: Safety should always be your No. 1 priority after an accident. A car with damaged parts cannot operate as it should, and as such, it cannot keep you safe. No matter if your head or tail lights were broken, you have a dragging fender, or there is a problem with the engine, continuing to drive a damaged car can lead to disaster for you, your passengers, and fellow drivers on the road. A towing service will minimize the risk of further damage and personal injury. 
  • Save Money: While using a towing service may set you back a small amount, the cost is not nearly as high as what you might pay after driving a damaged vehicle. By continuing to drive a car that has been compromised, you risk furthering the existing damage and inflating your repair tab. Plus, in some cases, driving a damaged vehicle can earn you an expensive fix-it ticket, so it’s best to skip the chance and call a tow truck instead. 
  • Time to Think: Towing allows you some peace of mind knowing that your car is being safely transported while you take the time to gather your thoughts and inform your insurance company. If the damage is bad enough, you’ll need at least a few hours to determine how much of the damage is reparable and whether or not your car qualifies as “totaled.” A great tow company will even go so far as to offer you a ride along with them if you are stranded while your vehicle is being moved so that you’re not losing any time waiting to be picked up.
