HAVE A LAUGH
Spring is in the air, and it doesn’t just bring warmer weather and the season’s first blooms. This busy time for vacations and weekend getaways means more traffic and an increased risk of accidents. Before you hit the road, prepare your vehicle for the season and be mindful of spring’s extra challenges. Every step you take to stay aware on the road makes a difference, from driving defensively to utilizing safety features like collision avoidance systems. Buckle up because this month, we’re sharing tips to keep you safe all season. COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS Many newer vehicles have Collision Avoidance or Advanced Driver Assistance Systems built in to help prevent or reduce the severity of accidents. These systems vary from audio or visual alerts warning that other cars are in your blind spot to automatically altering your car’s behavior, like automatic braking or lane- keeping assistance. These safety systems are helpful and a feature worth looking into if you are in the market for a new vehicle. Understanding and educating yourself on how Collision Avoidance Systems work is essential, as it can be surprising when it activates while you are driving. DEFENSIVE DRIVING You should always be aware of your surroundings when behind the wheel, and defensive driving is even more important during busy times like spring. Pay close attention to the weather and its impact on the road. Keep a safe distance between yourself and the car in front of you, and always look before you switch lanes. You should also take precautions to avoid sun glare, which can obstruct your vision. Wear polarized sunglasses and keep your windshield clean, as a dirty window can scatter light and make it difficult to see through.
