Would you be prepared if you crashed off the road in a secluded area?

Most don't even think of this situation as a possibility...but it is! And you should be ready for all situations in your vehicle by installing an Advanced Automatic Collision Notification system. These systems are critically important for older drivers as veering out of the lane is one of the most common types of crashes that happen to this demographic.

A 73-year-old man is lucky to be alive after he crashed his SUV in a remote location on Tiger Mountain near Issaquah, Washington on Friday. He was fortunately found trapped in his SUV the next day. An Advanced Automatic Collision Notification system could have sent immediate help to him after he crashed.

These systems are not terribly expensive. Think about them the next time you get into your vehicle!

This is a very unnecessary incident...and it's not going to be the last of its kind.

Please always remember the following each and every time you want to exit your vehicle:

P-Park - Put car in park
B-Brake - Engage the emergency brak
I-Ignition - Turn car off
D-Door - Only now open the door
E-Exit - With all of the above completed, you are safe to exit your vehicle

Did you know that April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month sponsored by the National Safety Council.

It turns out that multi-tasking is a myth! You cannot do 2 things at one time...particularly driving and texting or doing anything else. Make a commitment to save yourself on the roads...this may lead to you saving someone else from your actions.
