1. Warning lights: Those little indicators on your dashboard that light up when starting the car

2. Stalling: If your vehicle suddenly begins stalling at intersections, when you try to accelerate, or at other times.

3. Hard starts: You’re allowed to be a little sluggish first thing in the morning.

4. Poor fuel mileage: You’re getting fewer miles out of a gallon of gas, and you need to find out why

5. Soft or noisy brakes: Your vehicle’s brakes are supposed to bring you to a stop quietly, without you having to put your foot through the floor pressing on the brake pedal.

6. Other unexplained noises: If your brakes are quiet but other unwelcome noises have suddenly appeared on the scene, trouble might not be far behind.

7. Rough shifts: Automatic transmissions take the work, and guesswork, out of shifting.

8. Sluggish acceleration or a loss of power: This can be a dangerous problem.

9. Vibration: The sudden appearance of a vibration that isn’t caused by rough road conditions is a red flag.

1. Minimize Distractions: Ironically, the person that is the greatest threat to your own safety on the road is yourself.

2. High Eyes Driving: Race drivers use a technique called “high eyes” that call for the driver (you) to focus not on the car in front of you.

3. Minimize Lane Changes: It’s rare for a car to be rear ended while traveling the speed limit in it’s own lane.


4. Spot Fast Lane Changers: The flip side to not being a lane changer, is that you must be highly aware of the drivers who are.


5. Spot Blind Lane Changers: Not only are there the jerks driving recklessly, but you have to worry about the absent minded driver that never checks their blind spot before changing into your lane.

6. Don’t Make Eye Contact: Studies show that many road rage incidents occur when drivers make eye contact with each other and a situation ensues.

7. Look Both Ways at Intersections: Intersections are inherently dangerous places and the scene of many t-bone accidents.

8. Know When and How to Swerve: This is probably the absolutely hardest point to get across, because it honestly takes hours of experience behind the steering wheel to learn.

9. Get Away From Bad Drivers: You should always do your best to keep a healthy distance between yourself and other bad drivers on the road.

10. Don’t Follow Too Closely: Saving one of the best tips for last, don’t follow too closely behind the car in front of you.
