Tips To Help You Drive Safer and Longer

Hearing

Background noises can significantly distort sound and interfere with your driving. A turn signal left on because you don't hear it can cause a crash.

Have your hearing checked regularly

Turn off the radio

Keep the air conditioner or heater fan on the lowest setting to reduce background noise

Buy a device that amplifies the sound of your turn signals

Vision

Being able to see road signs and signals, other vehicles, and pedestrians is affected by more than just visual acuity.

Have your vision checked annually

Avoid driving at night

Clean the inside and outside of windshield and windows

Clean headlight and mirrors

Give your eyes a few minutes to adjust to changes in light and dark. Use this time to fasten seat belt and adjust mirrors

If you can't see over the steering wheel, sit on a cushion or a pillow. Make sure you can still reach the gas and brake pedals.
