5 Driving and Car Safety Tips

5 Driving and Car Safety Tips

Summer is here, which means that more families are on the road vacationing, heading to the beach, or taking a Sunday drive. While it’s difficult to imagine, the reality is that many accidents happen in the summer. Stay safe and protect others with these driving safety tips from Century Center Chiropractic. 

5 Driving and Car Safety Tips from Century Center Chiropractic

1. Always wear your seat belt - Seat belts are there to protect you from the impact of a car crash, and can double your likelihood of surviving a car accident. Always buckle up and have your passengers do the same to reduce the risk of injury from an auto accident.

3. Check before changing lanes - Always look over your shoulder and in both mirrors when changing lanes to avoid colliding with another motorist. 

4.  Sit at a good distance from the steering wheel - If you sit too close to the steering wheel column, the impact of an accident can cause major damage to the muscles, bones, and ligaments in your knees, your legs, your ribs, and can even harm your internal organs. Furthermore, the force of the airbag can cause even more injuries. 

5. Have your car checked before vacations – Before your trip; take your car to your local mechanic for a safety inspection. This provides you with peace of mind and ensures your car is equipped for the journey. 

When you follow these tips, you are less likely to sustain injuries severe enough to require chiropractic treatment. However, if you do find yourself in the unfortunate situation of an auto accident, Dr. Jared Simon can help.  As your auto accident injury chiropractor, Dr. Jared Simon is trained to help relieve your pain and heal faster.
