Is your teen driver about to hit the road solo for the first time? It's pretty nerve-wracking for any parent, and here at Toyota of Orlando we get it. That's why we've gathered up the top nine tips for teen drivers so you can prep your new driver for whatever may come their way when they climb into the driver's seat. What should you teach your teen driver before they hit the road? Tip #1: Choose a safe (and practical) car. It's tempting fate to put your teen driver behind the wheel of a sports car or a fast truck - it's a wiser option to put them into something practical and safe when you're sending them out on the road solo. Consider Orlando Toyota cars like the Toyota Yaris, Corolla, RAV4, and Camry, for starters! Tip #2: Teach them defensive driving. It's good to teach your teen to obey the rules of the road, but you should also teach them defensive driving skills so they can avoid an accident BEFORE it happens. This means doing away with distracted driving, for starters. Tip #3: No texting. At all. Ever. Make texting a no-no - you can even download apps that will lock their phones while the car is in motion so they're not tempted to even look at incoming texts when behind the wheel. Tip #4: Make seatbelts a non-negotiable. Set a good example and always wear your seatbelt and teach your teens that driving without one is not allowed, period. The car shouldn't leave the driveway until everyone in it is buckled up. Tip #5: Review the rules of the road one more time. Is your teen driver perfectly clear on the rules of the road? Make sure they know the basics and are competent enough to drive before you turn them loose. Tip #6: Limit passengers. It's a good idea to limit the number of passengers that your teen has in the car with them at first - passengers can be big distractions. Driving solo is your best bet for the first few months, and then you can slowly increase the number of passengers allowed. Tip #7: Teach them basic car maintenance. Teach your teen how to care for your Orlando Toyota and the importance of oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, fluid checks, and letting you know if they hear or see something odd, or if a dashboard light comes on. Tip #8: Go over common car emergencies. Does your teen know what to do if they get a flat tire? What if they have a dead car battery? How about an overheated vehicle? Teach them the ins and outs of common car problems and what they should do. Tip #9: Fill them in on what to do in an accident. Make sure your teen driver knows what to do after a car accident - who to call, the steps to take, and how to react. Shop safe new Orlando Toyotas today Ready to turn your teen driver loose?

Here in Orlando, we get pretty mild winter weather (thank goodness). We never have to deal with heavy snow and we rarely have ice on the roads. However, we get a handful of cold nights during the year and if the temps dip low enough and your car is parked in the shade, you could wake up to ice on your windshield. Not to mention, if you head out of town in the winter you're more than likely to find yourself in need of some windshield de-icing. Toyota of Orlando is here with winter weather car care tips to help you de-ice your windshield like a pro and hit the road with a clear field of vision. Tip #1: Don't use hot water. DO NOT EVER use hot water to try and melt the ice off of your windshield - it can end in disaster. Hot water hitting the icy cold surface of your windshield can actually cause the glass to crack or shatter from the temperature differences. If you have to use water, use lukewarm water to try and loosen the ice a little. Tip #2: Avoid using vinegar. Another common myth is that you can use vinegar to remove ice from your windshield. Our car care experts advise against this - vinegar can damage the plastic and paint on your vehicle, so you want to avoid pouring it on your vehicle at all (even the windshield). Tip #3: Don't try to clear ice with your windshield wipers. Don't use your wipers to try and scrape frost or ice off the windshield when you face winter weather. It's not effective, first of all, and can easily damage or shred the rubber on the wiper blades. This means they'll be ineffective from that point on and you'll have to replace them ASAP. Tip #4: Run your defroster for a few minutes. Running the defroster in your car can help loosen up the ice a little bit, so climb into the driver's seat and warm both yourself and the windshield up before you get to scraping out in the cold. Tip #5: Avoid using a metal scraper - opt for plastic. A metal scraper can damage the glass windshield, leaving scratches and scrapes that impeded your field of vision. Instead, opt for a plastic scraper - one with a brush on the other end is super handy because then you don't have to use your hands to brush off the ice and frost. However, don't scrape TOO hard - even hard plastic can scratch your windshield. There are de-icer sprays on the market, but living here in Orlando, it's not really that cost-effective to buy them since we see ice and harsh winter weather so infrequently. Your best bet is to buy a plastic scraper and just keep it in the trunk in case you need it! Need more car care advice or want to grab a scraper? Ask our auto service experts at Toyota of Orlando - they're here 7 days a week with the info you need at (407) 298-0001!

His brother-in-law, wife, and 11-month-old daughter were all in the car with him... and all of them escaped with minor injuries.   Lamberte was driving home at night on December 27, 2018. A driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic and collided with Lamberte head-on, crushing the front of the RAV4 instantly. All airbags were deployed inside the cabin and the car was immediately totalled. Lamberte's brother-in-law was in the front passenger seat while Lamberte's wife and 11-month-old daughter were in the backseat.

His brother-in-law, wife, and 11-month-old daughter were all in the car with him... and all of them escaped with minor injuries.   Lamberte was driving home at night on December 27, 2018. A driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic and collided with Lamberte head-on, crushing the front of the RAV4 instantly. All airbags were deployed inside the cabin and the car was immediately totalled. Lamberte's brother-in-law was in the front passenger seat while Lamberte's wife and 11-month-old daughter were in the backseat. Despite the devastating collision, all of them are safe today - while the three adult passengers sustained minor injuries, the baby was not injured at all.
