Proper Disposal Of Rechargeable Batteries

With fires in garbage trucks and waste processing facilities on the rise, here are some guidelines for the public on how to properly dispose of rechargeable batteries.

Rechargeable batteries containing metals such as lithium and nickel, can spark and explode when damaged. To combat the growing risk of battery fires, local waste management authorities have announced the launch of a public education campaign to

encourage proper disposal of rechargeable batteries.

The waste industry is facing a crisis. The improper disposal of rechargeable batteries is putting trash haulers, waste disposal and recycling facilities, employees and the community at risk. Countless fires have started in the back of trash trucks and at waste disposal facilities. Individuals should do everything possible to keep their community waste management systems operating safely in their neighborhood.

Rechargeable batteries are in many common household items including power tools, toys, cellphones, laptops,

watches, vape devices, electric toothbrushes and more. If the rechargeable battery becomes damaged, it can cause a chemical reaction that creates a spark or explosion. Rechargeable batteries in the waste stream are prone to damage due to the impact from equipment and machinery during the waste management process. There are many free and convenient drop-off locations for end-of-life rechargeable batteries in each local community. In Lancaster County, residents can use Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority’s (LCSWMA) drive-through Household Hazardous Waste Facility to drop off both alkaline and rechargeable batteries. If this facility isn’t a convenient option or if residents live

Theodore “Teddy” Gray Rhoades

Teddy attended therapy at the Schreiber Center for Pediatric Development. His special needs began at only 3 months of age but with the tender love and dedication of his family, he participated in life’s events as any child would. Teddy’s presence brought joy to all who were around him. It was evident that Teddy deeply loved his siblings. He had amazing teachers who worked with him every day, and in turn Teddy taught others too. He taught others patience and understanding. Teddy was recognized by many because he attended all the local community events and he loved to be at the Easter Egg hunts and Halloween gatherings. His family experienced

the love of the Make A Wish Foundation when they took Teddy to Walt Disney World.

Teddy saw the world not through his eyes, but through the touch, warmth, and kindness of his family, teachers, therapists, and friends. Teddy will forever be remembered as a special gift to all who had the privilege of spending time with him.

In addition to his parents, Teddy is survived by three siblings, Matlyn, Mary, & Austyn; grandparents, John & Christy Rhoades and Tom &

Mary Zuzzio; Aunt & Uncles, Scott & Jennifer Rhoades, Stephanie & Kevin Scheffel, Zach & Michelle Zuzzio, Charlie & Sunshine Zuzzio, Tony & Carri Zuzzio, Kirstin Zuzzio & Josh Zarnoth; and 13 cousins, Conner, Jenner, Riley, A.J., Reagan, Zoe, Zach Jr., Tree, Penelope, Oliver, Jacob, Ben, and Anthony.

Civil Air Patrol Participates At Game

On Thursday, August. 17, the Jesse Jones Squadron 304 Color Guard had the honor of presenting the colors during the national anthem prior to the Lancaster Barnstormers game against the Long Island Ducks. Participating cadets were Cadet Chief Master Sergeant Mary Weinheimer, Cadet Chief Master Sergeant Jereco Acosta, Cadet Tech Sergeant Bruce Gentry, Cadet Senior Airman Landin Pryzbylkoski, and Cadet Airman First Class Daniel Landis. The training of the Squadron Color Guard

is supervised by First Lieutenant Donald Reisch.

The presentation of colors consisted of the ceremony of presenting and retiring the flag. Color guards are often seen at events, carrying the colors to represent the service of our Armed Forces.

This is one of the many services that the Jesse Jones Squadron 304 provides to the community. Service to their community, their state and their nation is a primary part of the cadet programs within the Civil Air Patrol.

Jesse Jones Squadron 304 meets each Monday (except holidays) at 7 p.m. in the Venture Jets hangar, which is located, on the airport near the intersection of Lititz Pike and Millport Road. Visitors are always welcome.

Hayden Forbes, the son of Dustin and Ashely Forbes, is in his second year attending Lititz Christian School. His favorite thing about LCS is how easy it was to first make friends because of all the kind students and awesome teachers. History class is one of Hayden’s favorite things about school.

He loves learning about how different wars began and the affects of history in our world today. In Hayden’s spare time he enjoys playing soccer for the LCS Boys Varsity soccer team, playing video games, and listening to music.

Die wolfel Koschtr ver’s schicke hen mir bezaalt. Fer liebschde Fareb gewwe sie em paar Waahl. Mir kenne schier net waarde die Peck uffmache. Was waare mir so schtolz mit unser neie Sache!

Heit soll mir net Schuh waere as zu lang adder breet sin. Mir hen gross genunk ge-addert - Blatz fer waxe drin. Wann zu eng, waert mer sie bis sie schtrecke. Schtadtleit hen gedenkt mir kumme vun die Hecke. - Heit browiere deel en ganz Reff Geind un nix basst. Sie sin so abbaddich sis em Glarick en Lascht. Vun ee Schtro bis ennanners

Schtrimp kaafe waar ken Lascht fer unser Mudder, Wann die Zehe darich sin, macht sie Hannhutter. - Unnergleeder hen mir gewore fer uns zudecke. Heit sin sie so glee, duhne sie weit genunk schtrecke?

MAIL ORDER CATALOGUE

Today people go to malls to see what they can buy. We bought from a book - clothing for marriage and baptism. For anything - no matter what you wanted - could be found in the Sears Roebuck catalogue. - We paid the cheap postage, for favorite color we had our choice. We could hardly wait to open the packages. How proud we were with our new things. - Today we’re advised not to wear shoes too long or wide. Years ago we ordered them extra large with room to

grow. If they were too narrow, we wore them to stretch them. City people thought we came from the sticks. - Some people try on whole racks of dresses without finding satisfaction. They are so fussy they annoy the clerk. They run from one store to another and end up buying the first dress they saw. - Children’s clothes were bought a few sizes largerfor successive children to wear them gave better measure. Buying stockings was no problem for our mother, when the toes were worn through she made “Hannhutters.” - We wore underwear to cover our bodies. Today they are so small, do they stretch enough to cover (everything)? Swimsuits are no larger than a handkerchief. The models are so exposed I’m embarrassed to look at them. - We sent for dishes and cooking kettles, for a couch to lie upon, chairs to sit on, clothes for at home and to go to church, and for rubbers for whatever we had to wade through.

I have certainly seen changes in my time. Earlier there were no slacks for women - only men and boys wore long pants. Today they are available for girls from one to eighty. - Each year we received two Sears Roebuck catalogues. You can bet on it we ordered more (items). We no longer ordered from the old book, but we did not throw it away, we needed it out back. ***

On March 22, “die Anna vun Bannwill” sent us this “bonus,” which she had pulled from her bag of memories. In ES MEELADDER BUCH, she compares shopping in malls with the older way of shopping and ordering from the Sears and Roebuck catalogues. We recall the excitement which

Es Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch Eck

By: e Late C. Richard Beam

A collection of “Deitsch Eck” columns from past issues of e Shopping News honoring the late C. Richard Beam.

(Continued From Page 10A)

Anna describes so well. Anna did not mention the cut-outs we used to make from the out-of-date catalogues - when we were tiny tots. ***

Attention, all our Lititz Moravian readers!!! Especially Dr. Horne and Bishop Schattschneider. Have you ever before heard the word “Hannhutter” used in the manner Anna uses it? She writes, “Wann die Zehe darich sin (in die Schtrimp), macht sie Hannhutter.” Now our Moravian brethren know that members of the Moravian Church are called “Herrnhuter” in German. They were named after the town of Herrnhut in Saxony (presently in East Germany) which was established early in the 18th century on the lands of Count Zinzendorf, the renewer of the Moravian Church.

Anna von Bannwill appends the following footnote concerning “Hannhutter.” When the torn fronts of stockings were cut out and seamed across - a common practice at the time - these repairs were termed “Hannhutter.”

Now here is an opportunity for all you Moravian philologists to respond to the call to the Dutch colors!!! Have you ever heard this use of the ancient word “Hannhutter” before? If so, please send Bischli-Gnippli your explanation by return mail - if there is any such thing!!!

Who will the next reader be to come up with an equally fascinating Dutch word or expression?

Scripture: James 1:19“Wherefore, my beloved brethren. But everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.”

Quick to hear: This is one of those verses that are short, but very powerful. If we apply this wisdom in our lives, we would eliminate so much difficulty in our relationships, all relationships, whether at home, at work and with friends. Our first command is to listen or to hear. Christ said, “He that has an ear let

him hear.” I wish I could say that, as the author, I have this under control, but I do not. This lesson is especially for me.

Often verses do not have any order in priority when expressing truth. In this case however, I believe there is an order of priority. Listening is number one in importance. Actually, with communication, if the message isn’t received accurately, not much else matters and the whole communication process breaks down at the very start. This priority of listening is seen by the adverb “Be quick” to hear, in other words, seek to listen first and foremost; we must listen and listen well.

Be sure that we first seek to listen and not to speak This is in fact placing others before ourselves. In Romans Paul says, “Do not think more highly of yourself than you ought.” When we listen

well we are humbling ourselves and putting others first as the scripture commands us: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than

yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

Philippians 2:3, 4. I can’t think of a better way to truly humble ourselves and prove we care about others than to listen well

Don’t interrupt. If you always are interrupting others when they speak, you must believe that what you have to say is more important than what the other person is saying. I know, there is a concern at times we will forget what we want to say in response, but we will just have to remember later rather than interrupt. Interrupting stops the other person’s train of thought too. That’s why our verse also

says, be slow to speak. I have often interrupted my wife; thinking I know what she is going to say, only to find out, I didn’t know. This is a train wreck in communication. It stops everything good in the process. Now that I have hung out a small but very dirty piece of my laundry for all to see, I have to stop interrupting. Proverbs 18:13 says, “He that answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame unto him.”

It’s interesting when God introduced His Son at the baptism of John what did He say? “Hear ye Him.” I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that real listening (hearing) results in action. James also says, “be doers of

the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

If we are good listeners, we will follow-up on what we hear. In the Old Testament the Hebrew language equates hearing with action. Hearing and doing are two sides on the same coin, to hear is to do. Followthrough with action is the acid test as to whether we are really listening and we care or we are just passively ignoring others. How often do our wives and husbands say you never listen to me? It could be that we don’t get to the action realm of really hearing.

If we want to improve our listening skills, we will be attentive, we must really care, we must not interrupt, and finally, we must take it one step further and do something with what we hear take action

Well, we only covered the “quick to hear” this week. Next week we will continue with “slow to speak.” Think about this for next week; James 3:5 - “So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!”

Autumn Jubilee To Benefit Children’s Library At ELANCO

The Eastern Lancaster County Library (also known as ELANCO Library) will be hosting their Second Annual Autumn Jubilee on Thursday, November 2 at the Silk Mill on Main, 328 East Main Street in New Holland. The evening will include dinner, festive libations, dancing, lively entertainment from The New Holland Band, and a silent auction. The auction will feature themed baskets along with donations from patrons and local businesses.

The Eleanor Dissinger Award is presented at the Jubilee in memory of the Foundress of the Library and to honor a long-term volunteer.

As the public library for approximately 25,000 residents of five rural municipalities (Caernarvon Township, East Earl Township, Earl Township, New Holland Borough, and Terre Hill Borough), ELANCO Library has served the public for 90

LCBA To Host Benefit For Local Charities

years since its establishment in 1933 by the New Holland Business and Professional Women’s Club. In 1965, the library moved to a room in what was then the New Holland Borough Hall, and in 1997 the library was built at its current location of 11 Chestnut Drive, New Holland.

A goal of the Autumn Jubilee is to increase community support from all areas the library serves. The library holds this fundraiser, one of many, to supplement the funds received from the Commonwealth, the County, and the local municipalities.

ELANCO Library is

currently planning a muchneeded renovation and expansion of its Children’s Library, located on the building’s lower level. The project includes the transformation of some underutilized space into an Early Learning Area for education and recreation for children age birth to five and their parents or caregivers, creation of a new space dedicated to teens, upgrades to the HVAC system to improve air quality, and other enhancements such as paint and carpet.

The library has also received a generous $20,000 matching grant: any funds raised by the Library

(including proceeds from the Jubilee), up to $20,000, by December 2023 will be matched dollar for dollar. New furnishings for the newly renovated space are top priority for these funds. Per-person tickets to the Jubilee, which must be reserved by Saturday, October 21, may be purchased on the library’s website, www.elanco library.org, or at ELANCO Library.

Simple

Steps

New cars have been costly for quite some time, but those costs have spiked considerably since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. That unprecedented rise has led many motorists to wonder how they can get more mileage out of their existing vehicles.

According to data from Kelley Blue Book and Cox Automotive, the average cost of a new car in September 2021 was just over $45,000. That marked a $3,000 increase from June 2021 and a $5,000 increase from the end of 2020. Drivers who can’t afford to keep up with the rising cost of new vehicles can take these steps to keep their existing cars running smoothly for years to come.

• Take care of the timing belt. Engines may get all the glory, but they cannot run smoothly without a fully functional timing belt. Engines need various components to do their job, and those components must do so at the right time for the engine to run smoothly. Fully functional timing belts help to synchronize movements, but belts must be

To Help Maintain An Older Vehicle

Becoming A More Efficient Driver

Drivers likely need no reminder that the cost of fuel is high. In November 2021, data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicated the average price per gallon of fuel was $3.39. That marked a seven-year high and an increase of $1.29 in just 12 months.

replaced every so often. Owner’s manuals may note when to replace the timing belt, but they generally must be replaced every 60,000 to 105,000 miles. That’s infrequent, but drivers can ask their mechanics to keep an eye on their timing belts. One issue many drivers encountered in the early months of the pandemic when people were driving less frequently was timing belts that were failing long before they reached the projected mile markers. That’s because infrequent driving can hasten the demise of the timing belt.

This is something for aging drivers who no longer drive a lot to keep in mind.

• Take care of the brakes and associated components. The experts at Popular Mechanics urge drivers of older vehicles to replace their brake fluid every two years. Popular Mechanics also advises drivers whose cars are more than seven years old to replace the rubber brake lines when major brake work is required.

• Pay attention to oil levels. The older engines get, the more oil they’re going to burn. So drivers of older

vehicles should check their oil levels more often than they would if their vehicles were brand new. This also is a great way to discover leaks before they lead to potentially significant issues.

• Don’t skip maintenance appointments. Even if you’re still driving less due to the pandemic, it’s best not to skip recommended maintenance intervals. That’s true for drivers of all cars, but especially those whose vehicles are aging. Routine tune-ups and oil changes, which may need to become more frequent the older the vehicle gets, can keep cars running smoothly and protect the engine over the long haul.

The rising cost of new cars is compelling drivers to keep their cars longer than they might have anticipated, but some simple maintenance measures can help those cars run strong for years to come.

Learning how to be a more efficient driver is a great way to improve gas mileage and take some of the sting out of filling up. Here are some other tips to try to save money on fueling up at the gas station.

• Take it easy behind the wheel. The Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy reports that aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by as much as 30 percent when driving at highway speeds and 40 percent when driving in stop-and-go traffic.

• Utilize in-vehicle energy feedback. A recent study from researchers at the Institute of Transportation Studies found that drivers who used driver feedback devices in their vehicles in an effort to save fuel improved their gas mileage by about 10 percent. Many modern vehicles are equipped with such devices, and drivers can learn to use them and reap the rewards with less frequent trips to the filling station.

• Keep cargo off the roof.

Rooftop cargo boxes can be convenient when traveling on vacations. However, researchers at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory report that such boxes can reduce fuel economy by a significant percentage depending on where drivers are driving. City drivers with rooftop cargo boxes may experience a 2 to 8 percent decline in fuel economy, while vacationers traveling at interstate speeds may notice a decline as high as 25 percent. Cargo boxes are not very aerodynamic, so it’s best to remove them after returning home from vacation.

• Avoid idling. Idling was once advised to warm up vehicles so they did not stall once they leave the driveway and hit the open road. However, that stalling occurred when cold carburetors could not get the appropriate mix of air and fuel in the engine. But carburetors have long since been replaced by electronic fuel injection systems, negating the need to warm up a vehicle to avoid stalling. The Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy note that modern engines will warm up by being driven and urge drivers to avoid warming up their cars for more than 30 seconds.

High fuel costs make it advantageous for drivers to embrace efficient driving, which can save a substantial amount of money at the gas pump.

How Motorists Can Help Fight Distracted Driving And Stay Safer On The Road

As recently as two decades ago, many drivers never would have imagined answering phone calls through their automobiles or spending time at stoplights scrolling through their social media feeds. But such is the reality for modern drivers, who must now contend with myriad distractions while behind the wheel.

Distracted driving now poses a significant threat to drivers, their passengers and pedestrians. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distracted driving was responsible for the deaths of more than 3,100 people in the United States in 2019. Data from Transport Canada’s National Collision Database indicates that distracted driving contributes to an estimated 21 percent of fatal collisions in Canada.

A growing reliance on smartphones to do everything from play music to provide driving directions to check work emails has made it harder than ever for drivers to ignore their devices. Though the temptation to pick up the phone may prove hard for motorists to overcome, the following are some strategies they can embrace en route to

becoming safer, less distracted drivers.

• Support legislation that polices distracted driving. Many community leaders have attempted to curb distracted driving by introducing legislation designed to penalize drivers who are caught with their eyes on their devices and not on the road. The National Conference of State Legislatures reports that there are currently 24 states that prohibit drivers from using handheld cellphones while driving. Such laws are effective. In fact, a 2010 study published in the journal Traffic Injury Prevention found that driver handheld phone use was estimated to be 24 to 76 percent lower up to seven

years after handheld phone bans took effect in Connecticut, the District of Columbia and New York.

Such figures indicate the farreaching impact of legis-

lating against distracted driving and underscores the importance of supporting such legislation.

• Lead by example. A recent study from AAA

found that electronics use is the leading source of distraction for teenage drivers. Parents can set a positive example for their children by turning their notifications off when they get behind the wheel so they aren’t tempted to respond to an alert or incoming message. If necessary, parents can place their phones in the glove compartment prior to starting their vehicles. Setting such an example increases the likelihood that kids recognize the dangers of combining driving and devices.

• Recognize devices aren’t the only distractions. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety notes that devices alone don’t tell the

story of distracted driving. Drivers can easily become distracted by adjusting a radio, eating and drinking while behind the wheel, grooming, and interacting with passengers. Drivers must not discount the impact that all of their behaviors can have on their ability to pay attention behind the wheel. When driving, stick to driving. If drivers need to do anything else, like take a sip of water, eat lunch or adjust their car stereos, they should do so only after pulling off the road and putting their vehicles in park. Distracted driving poses a significant threat to anyone on the road. But it’s a threat that can be eliminated entirely when drivers are motivated to do so.

Safe Driving Practices To Handle Driving In Heavy Rain

The road is filled with variables that change each time drivers get behind the wheel. Whether it’s aggressive drivers, road construction crews or some other unknown, drivers can never say with certainty what they will encounter while on the road.

Mother Nature is as significant a variable as any drivers will face, and many conditions can turn otherwise ordinary trips into ordeals that put motorists’ skills to the test. Though heavy rain might not seem as difficult to navigate as snow, it’s vital that drivers recognize the threat posed by such conditions. In fact, the Federal Highway Administration reports that each year 75 percent of weather-related vehicle crashes occur on wet pavement, while 47 percent, or nearly half, happen while rain is falling.

Such statistics are sobering and underscore how dangerous it can be to drive in rain or when roads are wet. Drivers are not helpless in such conditions, especially when they exercise caution in wet conditions.

• Slow down. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that

drivers will have a harder time controlling or stopping their vehicles on slick roads than dry roads. And that’s the case for both experienced and novice motorists. When driving in the rain or on wet roads, drivers should slow down, even if it requires driving a little below the

speed limit. Though it can be dangerous to drive too slowly on highways, drivers can use the far-right lane on such roads, which is not considered a passing lane and is often seen as the lane designated for vehicles moving more slowly.

• Leave extra room

between your car and other vehicles. The NHTSA also advises increasing the following distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you when driving in rain or on wet roads. An extra couple of car lengths ensures you will have more time to react and stop if

vehicles ahead of you encounter issues.

• Be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists. Though pedestrians and cyclists typically avoid walking or cycling in heavy rains, that does not mean there will be none on the road. That’s especially so when heavy rains fall suddenly, leaving pedestrians and cyclists already on the road with little options but to continue. Visibility can be especially compromised in heavy rains, which makes it even harder to see pedestrians and cyclists. So drivers should not assume the roads are only populated by fellow motorists and must be especially vigilant to avoid hitting pedestrians and cyclists.

• Travel familiar roads. Though familiarity does not mean motorists can be less vigilant when driving in rain, knowing the roads you’re on and the route you’re taking can ensure your eyes are focused on the road at all times and not periodically glancing at GPS maps on your dashboard. If you’re planning a road trip and know heavy rain will factor in at some time, familiarize yourself with evacuation routes along the way to your destination. The NHTSA also recommends drivers learn which local radio stations to tune into for emergency alerts.

Driving in heavy rain is no small task. But drivers can approach such conditions with caution to ensure they make it home safe.

How To Lower Your Auto Insurance

Many motorists rarely think about their auto insurance policies. Among an adult’s many monthly or annual expenses, once signed, an auto insurance policy is essentially forgotten. However, with a few simple tips, drivers can significantly reduce the cost of their auto insurance.

• Reexamine your coverage. As a vehicle ages, it’s wise for men and women to reexamine that vehicle’s coverage. Older vehicles without much market value, for example, probably don’t need collision or comprehensive coverage. That’s because your claims on older vehicles are not likely to exceed your deductible, so paying for collision or comprehensive coverage on an older vehicle is essentially paying for something you’re never going to use.

Another area where motorists frequently spend more than they need is on personal injury protection. Chances are, men and women with health insurance are just duplicating coverage by paying for more than the bare minimum personal injury protection under their auto insurance policies. The same holds true for men and women with adequate life and disability insurance.

• Say so long to your muscle car. The type of vehicle you drive can also impact your bottom line. Drivers facing a financial crunch might want to look at what’s parked in their driveways. In a recent ranking of the most and least expensive vehicles to insure, high-priced vehicles with powerful engines that trace their origins to Europe garnered the highest insurance quotes. Such vehicles tend to crash more, leading to more expensive injuries while costing more to repair.

• Put safety first. Insurance companies value a vehicle’s safety features, and drivers can take advantage of that by putting safety at the top of their vehicle wish lists. The

Insurance Institute For Highway Safety (IIHS) annually ranks the safest vehicles by category, including minicars, small cars, large family cars, midsize SUVs, and a host of other categories. To save on auto insurance, choose a

vehicle that the IIHS deems a winner when it comes to safety. These vehicles tend to boast a host of safety features, including air bags, anti-lock brakes and daytime running lights.

• Combine policies. Drivers who also own their homes should consider combining their policies if they haven’t already. Policy holders who combine their insurance policies can save as much as 35 percent on homeowners insurance and an additional 10 percent on their auto insurance. Newlyweds who still have separate policies can save by combining coverage, as can drivers who also own boats or recreational vehicles that are not currently insured under the same policy.

• Let your provider know if you’ve changed your driving habits. Drivers who drive a lot tend to pay more for auto insurance than drivers who don’t drive very often. That’s because insurance companies offer low mileage discounts that reward drivers who don’t drive very often. Let your provider know if you no longer have a long commute to work, are unemployed, participate in a carpool, or take public transportation to work. Any of those things might make you eligible for a low mileage discount. Drivers looking to save money might be able to adjust their auto insurance policy to earn substantial savings.

The Principles And Benefits Of Defensive Driving For All Ages

Defensive driving can prevent accidents and save lives. Defensive driving also could save drivers money on car insurance. With so much to gain from driving defensively, a refresher on the principles of defensive driving could benefit drivers of all ages.

What is defensive driving?

Drivers undoubtedly have heard the term “defensive driving,” but may not fully understand what it means. In the simplest sense, defensive driving is an approach to driving that focuses on anticipating and reacting to potential hazards when behind the wheel. Defensive drivers apply various skills and techniques to defend against potential accidents caused by reckless drivers.

Who can benefit from defensive driving?

Anyone can benefit from a defensive driving course. New drivers may benefit the most because it gives them a strong foundation for safe driving. A defensive driving course also may help drivers remove tickets from their driving record or remove points from a license for first-time offenders, indicates DefensiveDriving.org. Defensive driving courses also may help prevent high insurance premiums or rate hikes following a ticket or accident.

The principles of defensive driving

Defensive driving courses differ, but the following are

some of the basic principles of driving defensively.

• Be alert to surroundings. This is one of the most important aspects of defensive driving. Paying attention to the road and avoiding distractions prevents accidents. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says removing one’s eyes from the road for five seconds while driving 55 miles per hour is like driving the

length of a football field with your eyes closed. Drivers should scan the horizon, check blind spots and know what’s going on around their vehicles.

• Employ the three-second rule. Leave sufficient distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. A driver should pass a stationary object on the side of the road no earlier than three seconds after the vehicle driving ahead of

them has passed it.

• Don’t drive impaired. Drugs, alcohol and fatigue can adversely affect performance behind the wheel. Precise movements, fastthinking and focus are adversely affected when driving tired or under the influence.

• Leave yourself an out. Figure out a way to avoid collisions at all times while driving. This includes not

being boxed in by other drivers or barriers. This can be achieved by leaving significant distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you, by obeying the speed limit and ensuring there’s a lane to move into that’s free and clear.

• Avoid bad drivers. Steer clear of drivers who are acting recklessly, and give them a wide berth. Move over, slow down and keep an eye on these drivers to avoid a collision. Similarly, move over for tailgaters and avoid succumbing to road rage.

• Be courteous and follow the rules. Respect the rules of the road that you learned in drivers’ education classes. This includes wearing a seat belt, obeying the speed limit, slowing down for bad weather, and giving over the right of way to a reckless driver if it means staying safe.

Defensive driving is a strategy that can help reduce accidents and save lives.

A Guide To Buying Pre-Owned Vehicles

Buying a pre-owned vehicle can be a costeffective way to get a reliable, affordable car or truck. The moment a new car leaves a lot, it starts do depreciate in value, according to U.S. News & World Report. After the first few years of ownership, the vehicle has lost a significant amount of its value. By buying used, consumers avoid that steep depreciation.

Pre-owned vehicle ownership is popular, as Americans buy 50 million used cars a year, according to Paul Taylor, the chief economist for the National Automobile Dealers Association. Buying a preowned vehicle takes a little more research and work than buying new, but that time spent can be worth it. Here’s how to navigate purchasing a used car or truck.

• Check vehicle value.

Utilize a car pricing tool such as Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds to gauge the value of a used vehicle. This way you’ll have an understanding of the range of prices that are acceptable for a vehicle of a certain age, make and condition.

• Consider “certified” preowned vehicles. Many

dealerships stand behind vehicles of a certain age and condition. Often called certified pre-owned vehicles, these tend to be lease turnins that are between three and four years of age and may still be under full or partial warranties. Certified pre-owned vehicles remove some of the worry associated with buying used since warranties will cover the repair costs of certain parts, such as the engine and drivetrain. Plus, the

dealerships’ mechanics have given the vehicles health checks before listing them for sale, certifying their condition and mileage.

• Confirm financing rates. Many manufacturers are offering financing for certified pre-owned vehicles that are as competitive as those for new cars. Shopping around for rates, both at dealerships and other lenders, can make preowned vehicles even more affordable.

• Exercise caution with private sellers. Buying from a private seller is a bit riskier than utilizing a dealership. That’s because the due diligence falls on you as the buyer. Ask for a vehicle history report (commonly known as the CARFAX®) for any vehicle you’re considering, even if it means paying for the report. The report will list any accidents and other red flags. If a seller refuses to offer the report, pass on the deal.

• Bring a mechanic. Another safeguard is to have your own mechanic look over the vehicle before purchase. A professional will know what to look for in terms of unusual wear and tear on a vehicle that may not be evident to drivers.

• Budget for all costs. Before making any decisions, develop a used car budget that takes into consideration the total cost of owning the vehicle. This can include the monthly payment, interest, insurance, maintenance costs, and fuel costs.

Pre-owned vehicles can be great bargains, especially in an era when supply shortages are making new vehicles even more costly.

What To Do If A Tire Blows Out

Tire blowout is a potential cause of an accident, and such blowouts might be more common than motorists expect. But tire blowout can put motorists in a precarious position, especially if they don’t know what to do. Follow these tips:

• Don’t respond by hitting the brakes. It might be counter intuitive to squeeze the gas pedal when a tire blows out, but doing so puts drivers in control of the vehicle and keeps it going in the intended direction. Immediately slamming on the brakes will cause the vehicle to turn, possibly turning the vehicle into oncoming traffic. When squeezing the gas pedal, drive straight down the lane. Within seconds of pressing the gas pedal, slowly begin to release it.

• Coast to a slower speed. As the accelerator is released, allow the vehicle to coast to a slow speed, but not a speed so slow as to put driver and passengers at risk. Once the car is coasting between 25 to 30 miles per hour, use the turn signal and slowly turn toward the side of the road where the tire is blown.

• Check tire pressure when you can pull into a parking lot. When you have safely made it to the shoulder and the tire has been changed successfully, find a filling station or other parking lot and check the tire pressure on the tires that did not blowout. A blowout is often the result of an underinflated tire.

Learn The Essentials Of Vehicle Rentals

Vehicle rentals enable vacationers or business travelers to get around when they leave their own vehicles at home. Driving across the country can take days. But hopping a flight and then renting a car at the airport ensures that travelers have the convenience of getting around town of their own accord. The following is a generalized guide of what to expect when renting a car or an RV.

Car rentals

Most national rental car agencies operate under a standard set of rules. Small auto rental companies may have more relaxed standards. Enterprise Rent-A-Car, a leading car rental company in the United States and Canada, says to expect to need the following:

• A valid driver’s license with a photo;

• Proof of a car insurance policy, or purchase of the rental company’s insurance;

• A credit or debit card (check acceptable forms of payment with the company of choice); and

• A driver who is at least 25 years of age in the United States or age 21 in Canada. Young drivers may be ineligible to rent, or may have to pay a young driver’s fee.

Large rental companies often offer a wide range of vehicles, from economy cars to pickups and SUVs. Prices vary based on the size of the vehicle. Renters can shop around to find prices that meet their budgets.

Each company has its own rules on mileage restrictions, use of toll roads and fueling up before returning the vehicle. Renters should go over policies carefully to avoid extra charges.

RV rentals

Those who want to experiment with different RV models and gain experience behind the wheel before making a purchase can turn to RV rentals. The RV resource Go RVing says RVs can be rented at local RV dealerships and national chain outlets. Certain campgrounds offer on-site RV rentals.

Certain rental companies may offer rental orientations. Whether on video or inperson, the orientation will show the essentials of RV rentals and travel. In addition, most will provide an assistance guide that offers tips on safe driving, entering and leaving campgrounds and operating the RV.

Most RV renters do not have a cache of equipment available, so rental companies frequently offer provision kits for an additional fee. These kits may include everything from pots and pans to bed linens and pillows.

There are various ordinances that may restrict the use of RVs, including capacity maximums and age limits. Like other rental vehicles, the minimum age to rent an RV in the U.S. tends to be 25. Rental companies may place restrictions on traveling across borders to Mexico or Canada. Check international travel rules prior to signing on the dotted line.

Taking Steps To Keep Your Car Running And Prepare It For Winter

Summer and fall can stake their claim as road trip season, and even devoted drivers may admit that winter is generally a less desirable time to take to the open road. The elements factor heavily into that reputation, as fewer hours of daylight, snow and ice are just some of the variables that can make it less enjoyable, and potentially more dangerous, to drive in winter.

In anticipation of adverse driving conditions, vehicle owners can take various steps to prepare their cars and trucks for winter.

• Upgrade your wiper blades. Perhaps nothing is compromised more than visibility when driving in winter compared to other times of year. Snow makes it hard to see when driving, but fewer hours of daylight also can affect visibility. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that approximately half of all fatal crashes occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., even though the number of drivers on the road during those hours is considerably lower than it is during the daytime. The difficulty of driving at night is even more significant when wiper blades are not up to the task of keeping rain and snow off drivers’ windshields. Prior to winter, inspect wiper blades and upgrade them, if necessary. Streaks left on a windshield are a telltale sign that blades need to be replaced.

• Purchase winter tires. Winter tires may not be necessary in regions with relatively mild winters.

However, drivers accustomed to winters marked by heavy snowfall and/or icy roads should consider replacing their existing tires with winter tires. Many newer vehicles are now equipped with all-season tires, which the tire experts at Bridgestone note provide great performance but are not designed to handle extreme winter conditions like snow and ice. Winter tires are specially designed to handle such conditions, making them a worthy investment for drivers who live in regions where it’s not unusual to encounter snow and ice throughout the winter.

• Study up on your engine oil. Some vehicle manufacturers recommend different grades of oil depending on the range of temperatures

a car or truck will be driven in. The owner’s manual will likely indicate if the manufacturer recommends using a different type of engine oil in especially cold temperatures. Even if the manual does not include such a suggestion, drivers can seek the advice of a local mechanic.

• Schedule a pre-winter tuneup. Even if a vehicle is not due for a tuneup, it can be wise to have it looked over by a local mechanic before the arrival of harsh winter weather. A mechanic can check the radiator, hoses and other components that could be affected by especially cold weather in the months to come. If any

issues are found, address them immediately. After all, it’s better to be proactive than leave yourself vulnerable to breakdowns or other issues once the mercury drops.

As fall gives way to winter, drivers can take steps to keep their cars running strong and safe in the months ahead.

Helping Novice Motorcycle Riders Stay Safe On The Road

Millions of motorists traverse the country’s roadways when the weather allows. An increasing number of those motorists are seeing the sights while riding motorcycles.

Riding a motorcycle can be an awe-inspiring experience much different from riding inside a car or truck.

According to the motorcycle information resource Biker Report, 1.5 million Americans owned a motorcycle in 2018. Even though motorcycle accidents have declined in recent years, a recent report by the Governors Highway Safety Association, a nonprofit organization representing state highway safety offices, indicates that, when adjusting for miles traveled, motorcycle fatalities occur 28 times more frequently than fatalities involving passenger vehicles. Alcohol

and drug impairment, distraction and an aging motorcycle population have contributed to the elevated accident risk among motorcycle riders. However, inexperience also plays a role.

By adhering to certain safety measures, novice riders can avoid various risks and stay safe as they get more acclimated to their motorcycles.

• Get your license. It is essential to ride with a license. In the United States, riders are required to have a motorcycle license or endorsement in addition to a driver’s license to legally ride a motorcycle. Depending on where riders live, a motorcycle safety course may be a prerequisite to getting a license and can help riders improve their skills on a motorcycle.

• Enroll in a safety course.

A safety course can teach riders various strategies, including emergency evasive maneuvers. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation offers courses for riders, who can check to see if any such courses are available in their areas.

• Wear a helmet. Many states require motorcycle operators and riders to wear

helmets when bikes are in operation. Helmets are required by law in Canada across all provinces and territories. The U.S. Department of Transportation also recommends a full-face helmet as an added safety option for novice motorcycle riders. Biker Report states that a helmet can reduce risks of brain injuries from a

Did You Know?

motorcycle accident by up to 67 percent.

• Wear protective clothing.

In addition to helmets, jackets and other protective gear can reduce the risk of injury for riders involved in crashes. A 2011 study published in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention determined there was a significantly reduced risk of injury to the upper body when riders wore fitted body armor.

• Practice in a closed environment. It is essential that motorcycle riders grow accustomed to riding the bike they will be taking out on the road. Doing so in a parking lot or a closed course enables riders to get a better feel for the throttle grip and brakes and steering. Riders can gradually increase their time on the motorcycle and skip long distance trips until they feel comfortable on their bikes.

In addition to these tips, novice riders are urged to be as visible as possible while on the road. Bright or reflective items can make motorcycle riders stand out. With these safety measures in place, novice motorcycle riders can reduce their risk for accidents and injuries while on the road.

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, restaurant, school and work closures were integral components of mitigation plans designed to prevent the virus from spreading. That resulted in much fewer cars on the road. Many things have changed since then, and life has gradually returned to pre-pandemic conditions. That return to normalcy has been marked by a return to the workplace.

The United States Census Bureau says the average person commutes just over 27 minutes each way when traveling solo by car. Those times were slashed when only essential personnel were commuting during the height of the pandemic. Census data paints a picture of shorter commute times now. Data indicates that, in 2019, there were nearly nine million workers who were doing their jobs outside of a centralized workplace. In 2021, that part of the workforce increased to about 27.6 million workers, resulting in roughly 18.6 million fewer commuters across the U.S. Census surveys indicate round-trip commute times dropped by around 7 percent in 2021 from 2019, equaling about 4 minutes saved on a roundtrip commute each day.
