3 Tips To Becoming A Better Driver | Cash for Cars Atlanta

Most drivers consider themselves “good” or even “great” drivers, but are you really?  If everyone was as great of a driver as they think, we would have far less traffic accidents.  After driving for years, we can pick up bad and unsafe habits. We also may not be aware of recent changes to traffic laws.  Here are a few tips for becoming a better driver…

1. Plan Your Driving Routes: Before you hit the road, know your route. If you use a navigation system, have it set to your destination before you start driving. Knowing your route can lend itself to a smoother drive. Avoiding last minute lane changes, confusion about which way to turn and feeling familiar with your route can put you at ease and make for a safer drive.

2. Take A Refresher Driving Course: Yes, I know it can be costly and time consuming, but it can also be very beneficial. If the classroom isn't an option, there are many useful online options, DVDs and audibooks that can give you very useful driving instruction and safety tips.

3. Keep Your Distance: The cause of many car accidents is driving too closely behind another vehicle. Tailgating leaves you and the person you are driving behind at an increased risk for an accident.  If someone is tailgating you, switch lanes and allow them to pass. It’s best to be safe than sorry in this type of situation.

Improving your driving can truly be a life saver. Know the rules of the road and follow them.  Be the very best driver you can be and hopefully these tips will help you do just that.  Having a car with the latest safety features is also important and can help you become a better driver.  If you buy a new car to get the safety features you want, then call us and we will buy your old car.

Driving Drowsy Can Be Deadly | Cash for Cars Atlanta

When we think of unsafe drivers, we normally think of drunk drivers, teenagers or distracted drivers. Many of us forget that drowsy drivers are some of the deadliest and most unsafe drivers of them all. Sleepy drivers are extremely dangerous.  Driving sleepy is one of the leading causes of car crashes.  It so easy to simply drift off behind the wheel and it just takes a split second for that to lead to a tragic car accident.  When you are driving drowsy you can expect:

• A delayed response time
  
• Decreased awareness of your surroundings
  
• Dropping into mini-sleep phases
  
• Poor judgment
  
• Confusion with turns and directions

If you know you have to drive, especially for long distances, it is imperative that you get enough sleep before driving. Here are some things to avoid before hitting the road and during your drive:

• Drinking alcoholic beverages
  
• Taking medications
  
• Driving alone
  
• Large, heavy meals
  
• Keeping your car too warm
  
• Listening to slow, relaxing music 

Stay safe on the road.  Never feel like it can’t or won’t happen to you. Even if you have to arrive a little late to your destination, it is always better to put safety first. If you feel too tired to drive, pull over at a safe place and get a little shut eye. Anytime you drive always make the safety of yourself and others your top priority.
