When to Get Your Car Towed
Whether you need to tow your vehicle or not may vary, but it's important to put your safety and your vehicle's condition first. Though you may like to drive away from a collision, it could be dangerous and create even more issues for your car down the road. Driving your vehicle while it is damaged can lead to even more expensive repairs.
Some of the factors you will want to keep in mind include:
- Your Safety: If you need medical attention or there's even a question if you can safely operate a vehicle, you need to prioritize your safety by towing your vehicle and seeking medical attention.
- Exterior Damage: If your vehicle only has minor dents or scratches, you most likely don't need your vehicle towed. However, if the damage extends to components like headlights, brake lights, and the frame, you could be putting yourself and others at risk by getting behind the wheel.
- Noises and Alerts: You may find your vehicle seems relatively unscathed but realize the engine light is on, and there's a strange noise when you start the engine. It's better not to risk further damage and instead tow your vehicle.
