"After a quarter century of emphasis on belt use, and laws requiring use
in 49
states, it should be an ingrained habit to protect yourself and your
passengers, and it's so easy
to do," McConnell said. It should be pink/red and not smell burned.

"Safety involves the combination of knowing about and using
the safety
equipment built into today's passenger vehicles, and more broadly about
driving responsibly
.
-- Check transmission fluid.
Tires and Brakes

Speaking on behalf of the company's Drive Safer America
! educational
campaign, Product Line Director, Occupant Safety and Driver Assistance
Systems, Dean
McConnell said, "Unfortunately, urging safety belt use has
become so routine that some don't hear
the message much less heed it. Motorists making plans that involve
alcohol should either stay the
night at their destination, or have a
designated driver to get everyone home safely rather than put
themselves and
others at-risk. Lack of preventive maintenance has ruined many vacations. Flush
radiator and replace coolant according to
manufacturer's recommendation. If you can see the top
of Lincoln's head,
replace the tires.
-- Inspecting tires, maintaining proper pressure, checking
brakes and
other maintenance items is even more important on a motorcycle.leatherwear franky
That's what Drive Safer
America! is committed to," he
said.
-- Top off windshield washer fluid. Keep a sharp lookout
for motorcycles -- most motorcycle crashes involve a driver who did not see
the motorcycle.coats deerskin
"
Because many summer activities involve alcohol, another safety reminder is
that alcohol and driving
don't mix.
-- Carefully inspect radiator hoses for leaks, brittleness or cracks
caused by
aged rubber. Do not pump the brake pedal. Bidding
