Safety tips for your car

Hello everyone!

Here is some car security tips that you can follow to ensure that you will safely reach your destination.
1. always wear the seat belt: wear the belt increases the chances of survival in case of a major accident.
Some studies have revealed that 65% of those who have suffered serious injuries in traffic accidents not wearing their seat belts. If you are traveling with children, make sure they are wearing seat belts properly.
2. turn off the phone: people nowadays rely so much on their phone that has become common to use it while driving. Remember that using the phone while driving is dangerous and accidents due to cell phone usage has increased in recent years.

Three reasons:
• First, you have to take your eyes off the road, each time you dial, hang up, or type to send a text message.
• Secondly, attention is diverted as you make your conversation.
• Thirdly, in the case of hand-held devices, you lose mobility if you hold your phone.
3. keep the focus on the road, at any time: avoid activities that distract you from driving as eating, reading, putting on make-up, etc. These distractions undermining your ability to react something happen on the road as the car in front suddenly stops or a vehicle suddenly diverting side. Keep your eyes and attention firmly on the road ahead.
4. Stay alert: If you feel sleepy, pulls to the side, the rest and then continue to drive only when you feel more alert.
5. look at your side and rear-view mirrors from time to time: this will allow you to see how they are going to other vehicles. You can see if the vehicle behind you wants to pass or diverting a vehicle next to you. Can then react accordingly.
6. Drive carefully in bad weather: If the weather is stormy, drive slowly and keep more distance between cars as sudden braking on wet roads can cause a vehicle to skid.
7. Keep both hands on the wheel: this will allow you to react quickly should you need to make an emergency stop or deflect suddenly.
8. don't drink and drive: driving under the influence of alcohol considerably increases the chances of being involved in an accident.
9. Keep your car well maintained: following a routine of basic maintenance will ensure that your car will not have problems during your trip. Have your car's engine oil changed regularly. Check regularly the pressure on and have the tools and the water in the car in case of an emergency. Have your car regularly checked by a mechanic.
10. Always keep your cool: it's so easy to get angry when another car cut or if another driver does something that is inappropriate or rude. But remember that always angry and retaliate poses a security risk. So keep calm and just keep going.
