THINK FAST: Are you a distracted driver?

We know that we live in a world of distractions. But, when you’re driving, shouldn’t you be… you know, focused on driving? Unfortunately, for many people this isn’t the case. Nearly 80% of collisions and 65% of near-collisions involve driver distraction.

How do you know if you’re a distracted driver? Check out this list of typical behaviors:

Do you eat while driving?
Drink while driving?
Make phone calls while driving?
Text while driving?
Pay more attention to your passengers than the road?

If you said ‘yes’ to any of these questions, then you are driving with distractions, and you’re at a higher risk of being involved in or causing a crash. We recommend pulling off to the side of the road to make your phone calls and send your texts, stop eating on the go (it’s healthier if you don’t, anyway), and keep your eyes on the road.

Every Feature You’d Expect & A Few You’ll Never Want To Live Without Again.

There are certain things that are immediately assumed when a luxury SUV hits the market. Comfort, classy styling, and lavish interiors are a given.  But how does it perform?  We’re talking about more than impressive handling on rural streets.  This is about performing the way an SUV should perform.  This is about taking things off-road.  This is about the 2014 Mercedes-Benz M Class.  Here’s why it’s everything you’d expect from an SUV from a luxury brand…and beyond.

• Quiet, comfortable ride in a sedan-like cabin
• It made Mercedes history by earning the brand’s first IIHS Top Safety Pick + Award
• Strong, efficient BlueTec diesel
• Tow rating of 7,200 pounds
• Extensive list of tech options
• More than 36 cubic feet of cargo space

Tips for taking dog on road trip

One of the leading causes for auto accidents is being distracted behind the wheel.  But we're talking about more than cell phone use or touching up your mascara!  If “dog is your copilot,” don’t let the furry friend have free reign over the vehicle. 

When you're behind the wheel, your mind should be on the road.  When you let Fido off his leash and he finds the cake you're bringing to the party, it gets more and more difficult to lock your attention to the task at hand.

The bottom line, without exception, is this: if you are driving, do not allow your dog to ride in your lap!
