Adopting a right turn only test drive could be the right move for your dealership.

Did you know that turning left during routine test drives can significantly increase the risk of vehicle accidents? It’s true — according to a recent study by Paragon Insurance Holdings.

Findings also showed that the individuals in these left-hand turn crashes were usually technicians assessing customer’s vehicles. However — customers test driving inventory vehicles were also involved — with many sustaining serious injuries. Mandating a designated test drive route for customers and technicians that utilizes right-hand turns only, can help eliminate left-hand turn accidents. This may help reduce the likelihood of potential liability for your dealership.
