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.
