There’s no doubt we live in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Asheville is surrounded by the tallest mountains on the East Coast, and with that comes an abundance of outdoor activities. It’s just an unfair added bonus that we have so much culture, so many great restaurants and breweries, art, music, etc.
Of course, all the things that make our area special have put it on notice. Thousands upon thousands of new residents have moved to western North Carolina in the past few years. Due to the nature of living in the mountains, we were already in a region where commuting was necessary. With added people comes added traffic, and even more time spent in our cars.
There are countless reasons why you could be leaving your car for long periods of time. Maybe you are putting away a summer car during the winter months, or maybe you are heading out of town for an extended vacation. Whatever the reason may be, you will want to make sure that you are preparing your car to be stored safely.
Planning a road trip to the mountains soon? The mountains offer a beautiful change of scenery for those who are from out of town. Each season has postcard-worthy views to offer all its visitors, with wildflowers popping out of every corner in the spring, beautiful lush greenery in the summer, a festival of colors in the fall, and crisp white snow in the winter.
When planning your trip, it’s easy to remember the essentials like weather-appropriate clothing, phone chargers, and your favorite snacks, but did you remember to check out the road conditions?
Your children are your most precious cargo when you’re on the road. Whether they’re still turned around facing backward in their car seat or they're driving on their own, you always worry about their safety in vehicles. No matter who is driving, it’s easy to sit down and think of all the things that could go wrong.
Car crashes are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Thousands of people lose their lives each year as a result of car accidents. More specifically, nearly one thousand seven hundred lives were lost in North Carolina last year due to fatal car accidents. Statistics like these are enough to make any parent nervous about their child passengers.
Luckily, there are preventative measures you can take to increase your child’s safety when they’re in a vehicle.
Roadtripping is as American as apple pie. With the Coronavirus in the rearview mirror, Americans are back out on the roads, going on adventures to places they have never been and visiting cities across the country.
