Get a reliable car
This can help prevent many
future problems. Make sure the car works well in snow, rain or other
situations and has great safety ratings . Double-check that it has great
visibility with easily adjustable seats, mirrors, etc. Also, be sure to
find a car that’s comfortable and easy to drive.
Get snow tires for winter driving
If
you live in an area where it snows regularly, you’re going to have to
drive through it at some point. So mind as well get prepared ahead of
time.
Consider a safety driving course
Keep headlights, taillights and mirrors clean
It’s a simple tip, but keeping these areas clean and functioning can greatly improve visibility.
Keep a pair of sunglasses in the car
Driving
straight into a sunrise or sunset can be one of most challenging
driving situations. It’s very tough to see no matter what age you are.
That’s why it’s always best to keep an extra pair of sunglasses in your
car at all times.
Keep up on maintenance
Most
car’s manuals clearly outline a detailed maintenance schedule. It’s
best to follow this as closely as possible to make sure your car is
staying in great shape. And this can help prevent future breakdowns or
complications.
Always bring a cell phone and get a car charger
Keep the charger in your car at all times, so your phone’s battery never runs out.
Make sure your driver’s license is still valid
Regulations
on how frequently (and at what ages) you need to renew your driver’s
license can vary by state. Just check the expiration date on your
license to see if it’s expiring soon and renew if necessary.
