With Earth Day coming up on the 22nd of this month, going green is looking better than ever. Hybrid vehicle emissions are significantly less than those of a
conventional car. This makes them an attractive option when looking to
go green! Turn in the keys to your truck and think about reducing your carbon footprint this month.
It's always a good idea to take some preventive measures when you’re planning to hit the road. Here are a few things you can do to prevent drowsy driving:
-Make sure you always get enough sleep before getting behind the wheel of a car. The National Sleep Foundation says adults need seven to nine hours a night.
-Take steps to limit the effects of shift work on your sleep. For those who work overnight or long hours, set a bedtime that you stick to every day — even your days off. Also, make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet.
-Plan ahead. If you’re headed somewhere in a different time zone, slowly adapt your body clock for long business trips by gradually adjusting your sleeping times until they’re the same as those at your destination. Or, if you’re planning to leave on a road trip, schedule your sleep so you’re well-rested for your trip.
-Be aware of medical issues. Whether it’s a sleep disorder or a drowsiness-inducing medication, be aware of any medical issues you’re dealing with and adjust your driving habits accordingly.

Imagine you're in a hurry and need to leave for work ASAP. For a quick fix to defrost your windshield, you'll need to lower the temperature inside your car rapidly. Turn on the defrost vent with cool air or cracking a window; make sure not to turn on the heat. This will make the inside of your car cooler and help reduce the fog. Also, turn on your car’s rear-window defogger to help clear up the back window.

Brakes are one of the most
important safety features on a car, and the better your brakes, the better
you’ll be able to avoid obstacles and prevent an accident. The first popular
type of brakes was drum brakes, invented in 1902 by Louis Renault. Since then,
many improvements have been made, including the first use of standard disc
brakes in the 1949. Thanks to a more efficient design, disc brakes are less
susceptible to heat than drum brakes, which can negatively affect braking
performance.
Most current cars use disc
brakes on at least the front wheels. However, drum brakes are less expensive,
so many modern cars still use them on the rear wheels to save money and weight.
Nearly every car includes at least one set of disc brakes, and most sports
cars, luxury cars, and SUVs include four-wheel disc brakes.
Anti-lock brakes have been
standard equipment on luxury cars since the mid-1980s, and are often found on
most new vehicles sold today. Anti-lock brakes are important because in a panic
stop or on a slippery road, they do a better job of keeping the brakes from
locking up than the driver could, by pumping the brakes faster than it’s
possible for the driver to do.
