One of the most valuable government organizations is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. I stay abreast of current research related to all things 'driving' and particularly things related to accident prevention and safety.
What follows are a few of the most recent findings and cautions from this group as shown on the NHTSA web site.
*If you have children then you can register your car seat on the NHTSA website. If the car seat becomes subject to a recall for any reason - you will be notified with all relevant information.
*In light of the recent increase in gasoline at stations around the country - the NHTSA has created a lengthy list of suggestions to help save on fuel economy and get the most out of your fuel dollars.
*The NHTSA website provides a lengthy discourse on the results of the most recent crash studies - and names the safest vehicles in all categories.
*There are special sections devoted to the various driving hazards mentioned on a regular basis in this blog - including senior and teen driving, impaired and distracted driving as well as the most recent safety devices that come standard in new vehicles.
Their findings tend to be academic and unbiased - trustworthy.
Finally, they offer the user access to an image library, budget, regional offices and organizational chart. The site is easy to navigate - and may be one of the most educational uses of your time. Click to view the NHTSA site.
