Safety Tips
Before you hit the road, you can take measures to avoid
collisions and other traffic-related incidents.
Keep your car in shape
with regular check-ups
at your mechanic.
In winter, clean your vehicle
of all ice and snow to improve
visibility.
Plan trips in advance
and leave extra time
for unexpected road
conditions or events.
Take care of your tires;
you're only as good as the
contact point where each
tire grips the road.
Never drive while under the
influence of alcohol.
Expect the unexpected.
Keep a car emergency kit
in your trunk.
Limit distractions behind the
wheel. Put the phone away
and make vehicle adjustments,
such as music selection and
climate control, before
you leave.
