Happy New Year From Highland Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac

Safe Driving

Buckle Up

The most important tip to keep your family safe while driving is to always use safety belts and proper child restraints. Children are safer when placed in the rear seat in the appropriate infant, child, booster seat, or safety belt - appropriate for the size and age. Never place a rear facing infant restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an active air bag.

Both Hands on the Wheel!

The first car safety tip is to always drive with both hands on the wheel. The best place for your hands are at the nine and three o'clock positions, which help provide greater control when steering.

Lights On, Please

With your safety in mind, all new GM vehicles come equipped with daytime running lamps. To help with safe driving, turn on your lights in rainy or snowy weather to make sure that your headlamps, taillamps and other exterior lamps are on. Even if your visibility is good, other drivers will have a better view of your vehicle.

Snow on the Roof

Don't let snow pile up on top of your car or truck. Peaks of snow increase drag and decrease gas mileage. And snow piled in your pickup's bed can obstruct both your view and the view of other drivers.

Quick Manoeuvring

If you need to veer suddenly to avoid hitting an object in your vehicle's path, before turning, make sure you look in the direction you'd like to head towards to make sure the path is clear.

Alcohol is a Factor in Many Traffic Fatalities

These visual signs may help you spot an impaired driver:

• Stopping problems (too far, too short, or too jerky)
• Straddling a lane line
• Swerving or drifting
• Weaving across lane lines
• Accelerating or decelerating for no apparent reason
• Slow response to traffic signals
• Turning with a wide radius
• Driving without headlights at night
• Varying speed
• Stopping in a lane for no apparent reason
• Failure to signal or signal inconsistent with action

Let An Expert Inspect

Making sure your vehicle is in peak condition is another excellent way to help you drive safely. Stop by your GM dealer and let a Goodwrench technician give your GM vehicle a Goodwrench Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection. Your technician checks many areas (27 points in all) that can assist in safe driving - including wiper blades, windshield cracks, tire wear, brakes, steering, suspension and taillamps - and will offer expert Goodwrench services if you need them.

Be Prepared!

Be Prepared: What to keep in your vehicle

First Aid Kit

If you put your own emergency car kit together, make sure none of the items are in glass bottles or vials - put them in plastic containers with tight lids, instead.
Your first aid kit should include:

• Adhesive cloth tape
• Antibiotic ointment packets
• Antiseptic wipe packets
• Packets of aspirin
• Blanket (space blanket)
• Breathing barrier (with one-way valve)
• Instant cold compress
• Pair of non-latex gloves
• Hydrocortisone ointment packets
• Scissors
• Roller bandage
• Sterile gauze pads
• Oral thermometer (non-mercury/non-glass)
• Triangular bandages

Vehicle Tool Kit:

A good vehicle tool kit includes:

• Screwdrivers - Phillips and flat head
• Pliers
• Set of good socket wrenches
• Duct tape
• Electrical wire tape
• Electrical wire spray
• Flashlight with extra batteries
• Small fire extinguisher
• Jumper cables

Make sure there's a jack and a lug wrench in the vehicle and that the spare tire (if equipped with spare) is inflated to its proper pressure. See Owner's Manual for recommended tire pressure numbers.
