We Can’t Prevent Your Distractions, but We Can Fix Your Damage

We Can’t Prevent Your Distractions, but We Can Fix Your Damage

According to a recent driver survey, cell phone use is a huge distraction for drivers, unsurprisingly. Browsing apps, texting or emailing, and talking on the phone are the top distractions for drivers on the road. Other distractions include viewing GPS navigation, eating or drinking, changing audio, in-car warning sounds and talking to passengers.

Obviously, there is a lot that can distract while operating a vehicle. One of the side-effects of those distractions is car damage. Namely, it’s wheel damage.

• You’re meeting someone a few miles away and you glance down to check a text alert and in an instant you drift into a curb scraping up your wheels, or what we like to call “curb rash”.
• You finally got that Bumble match you were hoping for and you’re so excited you can’t take your eyes off of your phone while backing up trying to parallel park in the dark. In addition to a match, you now have a rash. Curb rash, that is.
• You drop a few French fries after a late night out, and while reaching for them you drift onto the shoulder of the road and run over a deep pothole causing damage to the lip of your wheel.
• You just started driving for Lyft and Uber and you’re excited to have company to talk to all day long, but you hit the curb while trying to maneuver a drop off because you are too distracted sharing laughs and stories with the passengers.

These are examples of the easy ways that curbs and road imperfections can assault your wheels when you are distracted.
