Car Safety

Car safety has more to do with safety ratings of the vehicle. Motor vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of death in the U.S.. According to the Center for Disease Control, in 2009 more than 2.3 million adult drivers and passengers received emergency room treatment for injuries suffered in car crashes. The economic impact of vehicle crashes is also notable. The CDC noted that the lifetime costs of crash-related deaths and injuries among drivers and passengers were $70 billion in 2005.

But there are things that you, the driver, can do to help prevent vehicle collisions and ensure the safety of you, your passengers, and the people around you.

Don’t be distracted while driving. Keep your eyes on the road and be aware of your surroundings.
Watch out for pedestrians, buses, and people on bicycles.
If you have a child, make sure that your buy the right car seat and install it correctly.

Plus, driving safely will also have an impact on your factory warranty, extended auto warranty, if applicable, and the life of your car. If you use and abuse your car, it can possibly make your factory warranty or extended warranty invalid and it will also decrease the life expectancy of your vehicle.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. So be careful while you are on the roads. You don't want you or family to be one of the 2.3 million crash victims, and you don’t want to be the cause either.
