Fall is here and school has started. For college students, visiting home now mean that they will need to travel a longer distance than normal. Especially if your college students are studying out of state and are planning on visiting for a weekend or over their fall break, Rear View Safety has a few things they can do to help ensure a safe drive.
- Get your vehicle in for a checkup and basic maintenance before hitting the road. This will help reduce the chances of a breakdown on the freeway because of neglect the car may have received while your students were busy with classes.
- Double-check everything before you hit the road. If it has been a hectic week of classes, getting up early on Saturday morning may be less than ideal for remembering to check if you have enough gas, if the tire pressure is ok and your vehicle’s other vitals are ok.
- Finally, take advantage of technology. Installing devices such as a GPS and backup camera systems will help students more-easily navigate unfamiliar roads. Devices such as these will help student avoid accidents on unfamiliar roads in new cities by increasing their awareness of what is around them.
