Still working on your New Year’s Resolution? Instead of vowing to eat healthy or go to the gym (not that those are bad ideas!), how about you resolve to become a safer driver? Here are some ways you can accomplish that in 2017.
- End Drinking and Driving: While deaths involving a drunk driver have dramatically increased over the years, the problem still exists. Every day, 36 people are killed and 700 people are injured from drunk driving related incidents. Help lower that number by not only refraining from driving under the influence, but helping others make better choices.
- Fill Up Your Tank: Let’s be honest, 2016 had too many close calls where you almost ran out of gas. These situations are dangerous, create unnecessary anxiety, and are bad for your engine! Make an effort to watch your gas tank more carefully so you’ll never have to find yourself on E.
- Change a Tire: Brush up on your tire changing skills this year! You never know when this skill may come in handy.
- Consider Safety Rating: When shopping for a vehicle, safety tends to take a backseat to style, performance, and technology. Make sure you are exploring safety features as well. The great thing about New Honda Vehicles is that you don’t have to compromise!
- Buckle Up: Out of all the incredibly innovative safety technology we have out there, the best way to protect yourself in an accident is by wearing your seatbelt. Wearing your seatbelt reduces your chance of injury or death by over 50 percent. So tell your passengers to buckle up or get out!
- No More Distracted Driving: In 2014 alone, distracted driving was responsible for 431,000 injuries and 3,179 fatalities, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Do your part by keeping your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and eliminating any and all distractions. It starts with you!
- Be Prepared: Nobody ever says “I wish I wasn’t so prepared.” The roads are unpredictable, and accidents can happen. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you can’t exit your vehicle, you’ll be thankful for auto escape tools like a seatbelt cutter or glass-shattering hammer. Go out and buy them today – you won’t regret it!
