Just as it is important to keep your car in top shape, it is also important to implement defensive driving, driving safety, and common sense. Summer is hot and means hot weather. Use your head and do not leave children or dogs in cars unattended. They can succumb to heat stroke and die. Regardless of how quick you think you’ll be back its not worth it. Also, it is dangerous anytime (not just summer) to leave children unattended in your car as there are sick people out there like child molesters and such. Never leave your children unattended. I can’t say this enough as every day it now seems there is a missing or abducted child on the news. Don’t let this happen to you.
Make a safety kit and keep it in your car. Even with a well maintained or eve brand new car things do happen. You have 1 spare tire, and what if you got 2 flat tires from construction debris like nails and metal scrap? You need to have a charged cell phone, flash light, disposable camera (incase of a accident so you can prove what occurred and whom was at fault – don’t underestimate the importance of this as police are not perfect and may get something wrong in their report and this could cost you big), flares, a blanket and water. This will get you help and help sustain you in the event of a longer stranding in hot weather.

Practice safe, defensive driving. If you do not know what this is there are courses offered for free or very low cost by every state DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles). Follow at a safe distance, don’t tailgate, and slow down and use slower speeds during inclement weather. If a rain storm is quite strong and seems like a downpour then pull over and wait for it to pass rather than risk driving in zero or very minimal visibility. Also watch out for hydroplaning. Hydroplaning occurs when you lose contact with the asphalt and the water between your tires and the road actually starts to lubricate your tires. Tires with heavy wear will have a much greater chance of this hydroplaning. If you are involved in an accident pull off the road if possible. It is important for drivers involved in an accident to quickly get to the side of the road as other accidents from onlookers and rubbernecks could soon result. Listen to your local weather forecasts to avoid severe weather and stay safe. Use your seat belt and don’t drive drunk – ever (you could kill someone or yourself). Stay safe, keep your car or truck in top shape and be aware of changes in road conditions.
