Fortunately, our Fleet Management program is supported through our affiliation with **Network Inc., **and everyone who drives a vehicle acquired through ***Caritas ***is enrolled in our Emergency Roadside Service (ERS) program, which works the same way as AAA.  So, what should you do you if your vehicle has a mechanical breakdown while you're driving on the highway?  Here are **Seven**** Steps To Follow When Your Car Breaks Down On The Highway** **** [Read More](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/7-steps-to-safety-when-your-car-breaks-down) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/7-steps-to-safety-when-your-car-breaks-down#comments-listing) Topics: [Driver Safety Tips](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/topic/driver-safety-tips) ## [Driver Safety Tips: Automatic Parallel Parking](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/driver-safety-tips-automatic-parallel-parking) Posted by [Kyle Forbush](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/author/kyle-forbush) on Feb 12, 2019 11:34:54 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![parallel-parking](https://blog.fleetservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/parallel-parking.jpg?width=300&name=parallel-parking.jpg)There is nothing more embarrassing than failing to parallel park on a crowded street in the summer, when pedestrians stop to laugh and point while other drivers scorn you for taking up the road. Fear not, for those days are nearly behind us! Groundbreaking developments in car sensor technology has allowed manufacturers to offer ***Automatic Parallel Parking ***as a feature in a handful of newer model vehicles. However, like any other computerized mechanism, it will only work if you know how to use it.  [Read More](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/driver-safety-tips-automatic-parallel-parking) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/driver-safety-tips-automatic-parallel-parking#comments-listing) Topics: [Driver Safety Tips](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/topic/driver-safety-tips) ## [Driver Safety Tips: Navigating Roundabouts](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/driver-safety-tips-understanding-roundabouts) Posted by [Kyle Forbush](https://blog.fleetservices.com/caritas-vehicle-services-fleet-management-blog/author/kyle-forbush) on Jan 23, 2019 2:00:40 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![Traffic circle sign posted by pavement (shallow depth of field)](https://blog.fleetservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20images/Traffic%20circle%20sign%20posted%20by%20pavement%20(shallow%20depth%20of%20field).jpeg?width=300&name=Traffic%20circle%20sign%20posted%20by%20pavement%20(shallow%20depth%20of%20field).jpeg) Do you remember that uneasy feeling and awkward sense of confusion the first time you encountered a roundabout? You were driving down a perfectly straight road that suddenly collided with a massive, paved circle, painted with white lines and dotted with bright, yellow yield signs. Enclosed in the center of the circle is an island of grass and some shrubbery. For some, it was like driving for the first time. Roundabouts can be quite tricky to navigate, but once you know the rules of the road, follow the signage, and gain some experience, you'll discover that roundabouts will actually help you make it safely to your destination in less time and with a lower chance of a collision.
