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. While public transit is an option, most people opt to take their vehicles for travel, not just for the cost but also for the experience of being out on the open road.
Thousands of cars incur flood damage every year, and many of these vehicles are repaired and sold at used car dealerships across the country. However, that doesn't mean that purchasing a flood-damaged car is a good idea. Flood-damaged cars are risky investments that are often more trouble than they are worth.
Rust is one of every vehicle owner's greatest nightmares. Once a spot of rust appears, there is no stopping its destruction, which can take its toll on the appearance and the structural integrity of your vehicle. While there have been many advances in regard to the manufacturing of vehicles, steel still rusts.
However, there is hope in keeping your vehicle rust-free. You must be proactive in maintaining your vehicle and keeping an eye out for several warning signs. In this guide, we will go over several ways to keep your car rust-free and on the road.
Our cars may be assembly line produced, but that doesn’t mean they don’t develop their own personalities, so to speak. Get into anyone else's car for a ride, and you will likely immediately notice a whole host of different noises as you travel along.
For the most part, these differences are entirely normal and don’t indicate an issue with either vehicle. But hearing an abnormal noise in our own vehicle might just be a clue that there is an underlying issue. Sounds are often the first feedback point from a car that might require repair, even without a check engine light tripping.
