• Safety Checklist: Periodically inspecting your vehicle will help ensure your car is ready for the road. Once a week, check your tire pressure, this will help avoid blowouts. Also, take a look under the hood every once in a while to check on your vehicle’s belts, hoses, and fluid levels.
• Buckle Up: This one seems like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people forget to wear a seatbelt. If you have passengers in your vehicle, check that everyone is buckled in safely before your start the car. If you have children in the car, take an extra minute to make sure their car seat, or any other extra safety device is situated properly.
• Minimize Distractions: It’s important that you stay focused while driving. This means that cell phone use, or constantly fiddling with the radio should be avoided. Remember to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, and if you have to divert your attention from the road for a quick second, do it while your vehicle is stopped at a traffic light.
