It's important to be a safe driver. If you drive attentively and are continuously scanning the road, then you may be able to avoid accidents. Obey the speed limits and posted signage. Be courteous and don't cut people off. Don't tailgate either. Check your mirror every 6 to 8 seconds because things change on the road all the time. You should also do a pre-check before you even get into your car. Check for leaks, top up your fluids, and check your tire pressure. Keep an emergency kit in your car, too in case you have a breakdown. Smart driving starts with you. When you come to a stop sign, do not just roll through it. A trick is to spell S-T-O-P and then if everything is clear, you can proceed. Just taking a few extra minutes to be a more cautious driver can ensure that you will be safe and your passengers will be safe. Don't ever rush behind the wheel; it can cost you. Also, don’t forget about your vehicle maintenance. Come see us at Volkswagen of Salem in Salem, OR, for your regular vehicle check-up.
