season
LOS
ANGELES, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury
Insurance (NYSE: MCY) announces the release of its new interactive
online quiz that helps drivers prepare their vehicles for a safe
summer road trip season. This quiz is designed to test drivers'
knowledge of vehicle safety and maintenance, along with tips that
will help them ensure their vehicle is in good working condition
before heading out on the open road.
"Road trips are a popular summer tradition for many, but it's
important to make sure your vehicle is ready for a safe and
enjoyable journey," said Kevin
Quinn, Vice President of Auto Claims at Mercury Insurance.
"We encourage all drivers to take preventive maintenance measures
during the planning stage of their vacation so that their vehicle
is prepared for the journey."
The online quiz covers a range of topics, including how to
prepare your home and vehicle as well as tips on how to handle
common road emergencies.
Quinn also offers the following recommendations to consumers
preparing for an upcoming road trip:
- Secure your home. Before driving off, make sure to
lock all doors and windows and activate your alarm system.
- Prep your vehicle. Check your brakes for damage or
wear. Monitor your oil level and keep track of how many miles
you've driven since your last oil change. Keep in mind that older
vehicles may need more frequent oil changes.
- Plan ahead if traveling in an EV. Make sure your
vehicle is fully charged before departing and map out charging
stations along your desired route.
- Stock an auto emergency kit. Your kit should
include:
-
- Road flares
- Jumper cables
- A quart of motor oil
- A gallon of coolant
- A first-aid kit
- Blankets
- Drinkable water
- A flashlight and basic tools like a screwdriver, pliers, an
