Go A Grade

Going away? Everyone wants to get to their destination at a reasonable hour, but if you’re setting an alarm for 3:30am so you can arrive by lunchtime, you might want to reconsider.

To give yourself the best chance of avoiding an accident, aim to hit the road after a solid night’s sleep.

Put the phone away.
You might think it’s harmless to keep your phone within reach and to check a notification or take a quick call.

But consider this: taking your eyes off the road for longer than two seconds, doubles your risk of a crash.

Maintain a safe braking distance when wet.

As the weather starts to get cooler, so does the rain. Remember it takes much longer to stop in the wet, so don’t follow other cars too closely when it’s raining, or if the roads are wet make sure you increase the gap between you and the car in front to at least four seconds.

Fuel consumption; Just like an athlete, the harder you work your car the more it needs to consume to maintain its speed.

Aggressive driving – taking off suddenly and slamming on the brakes – can dramatically increase fuel consumption. You could be spending significantly less at the pump each time you fill up by giving your car more time to respond to changing traffic conditions.
