New Year’s Driving Resolutions You Should Consider

With 2022 just around the corner, it’s time for some New Year’s driving resolutions. Reset the clock and put bad driving habits behind by following these tips.

Put Away the Smartphone

Distracted driving is the top cause of traffic accidents. Studies show that texting at the wheel may even be more dangerous than driving drunk. Hide your phone, give it to a friend, disable notifications — do whatever it takes to avoid the temptation to use it while driving.

Stay on Top of Maintenance

Keeping your vehicle in good operating condition is not just a perk but a necessity when it comes to staying safe. Schedule a maintenance appointment at Sherman Cadillac where our technicians will check for leaks, change filters, and generally keep everything running smoothly.

Practice Defensive Driving

When sharing the road with vehicles made of thousands of pounds of steel and hardened plastics, the right of way only goes so far. If another driver is doing something unlawful, consider that you still have more to gain by yielding and living to tell the tale.

Never Drink and Drive

Every year, thousands of people are involved in fatal traffic accidents related to alcohol impairment. If you plan to go out and drink, make sure to have a plan for getting home or that you have sleeping arrangements at the location.

With these resolutions, you’ll be able to kick off the new year with safer driving habits. On that note, Sherman Cadillac wishes you a happy 2022.
