Good habits make driving more pleasant

Common sense and thinking ahead

Turn out the lights.

At this time of the year,
with shorter daylight hours,
many motorists leave for
work in the dark and arrive

after skies have brightened
and that makes it easy to
forget to turn off the lights.

times because of lights and
slower cold-weather starting,
so AIC advises car owners to
have their batteries checked
periodically and to replace
one which is on its last legs
before it quits functioning at
an inconvenient time or
place.

Other common-sense items
listed by AIC:

eCheck your gas supply
before leaving the driveway
and don’t risk driving with
