Motorcycle Awareness Month!

   

Spring is in full swing and around the country, motorcyclists are returning to the road after a long winter. But with a sudden spike in the number of motorcycles on the road, it's a good time to remind all motorists, whether on two wheels or four, to keep a special lookout for motorcyclists.

That's why May is recognized as National Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, a time for drivers to be reminded to share the road with motorcycles, and riders to be reminded to make themselves more visible to others.

Most motorcyclists are fully aware of the risks they undertake when riding, but a look at the statistics will still open a lot of eyes and stress how serious an issue motorcycle safety is.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcycles account for just 3% of all registered vehicles in the United States in 2011, yet motorcyclists account for 14% of all traffic fatalities. Looking at accident rates per vehicle mile travelled, NHTSA estimates motorcyclists are 30 times more likely than car passengers to die in a crash and five times more likely to be injured.

A separate report by the Governors Highway Safety Association estimates a total of 5,027 motorcycle fatalities from traffic accidents in 2012, a 9% increase from the year before. Many of those deaths could have been prevented if motorists were more mindful of safety.

Be motorcycle aware!

Auto Tip of the Month

 

Dick Scott Auto Tip of the Month 

  

Summer Auto Tip:

  • Get rock chips repaired right away! Don't wait to  see if the chip is going to spread or not. Heat, road vibrations, even  temperature and pressure changes can cause the smallest rock chip to spread  suddenly across the entire windshield.
  • Park your car in the shade. The baking sun is the biggest  culprit for windshields cracking out during the summer. Keep your car parked in  the shade until the windshield is repaired. It is also a good idea to keep  several windows rolled down about half an inch to reduce the internal  temperature of your car.
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes. Don't blast your ice cold  A/C directly on the hot windshield. The sudden temperature changes can cause  small chips and microscopic cracks or flaws to start cracking.
  • Don't slam car doors. Damage, such as a rock chip, causes a  weak spot in your windshield. Slamming the car door causes a sudden pressure  change that might cause the rock chip to spread.

2014 Nissan Altima



NASHVILLE, Tenn. - As Nissan celebrates record-breaking Altima sales in April, potential buyers have another great reason to consider Nissan's top-selling vehicle. Citing its "great" gas mileage and "very good" crash test results, Cars.com has named the 2014 Nissan Altima the "Most Affordable Midsize Sedan."

To be considered for the Cars.com's most affordable midsize sedan challenge, contending vehicles were required to have an automatic transmission, cruise control, a USB connection, Bluetooth®, power windows, power driver's seat and a backup camera. These features, coupled with a favorable five-year estimated fuel cost, resulted in the 2014 Altima's top ranking in the popular online shopping website's annual survey of midsize sedans.

"The 2014 Nissan Altima is equipped with an abundance of features that meet the growing expectations of our consumers, while still remaining a cost-effective vehicle to own," said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations. "Year-over-year sales growth and an expanding list of accolades like this recognition from Cars.com demonstrate why Altima continues to be a leader in the midsize segment."

The 2014 Nissan Altima, a Nissan core model and one of the top selling cars in the U.S., offers a premium exterior and interior and driver-focused technology. Its many attributes include outstanding fuel economy of 38 mpg highway (2.5-liter engine only) and an excellent balance of ride comfort and stability with a fun-to-drive demeanor. Altima is offered in seven well-equipped models to meet a range of needs and budgets - and with a choice of a 182-horsepower 2.5-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder engine or a 270-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. Both engines are matched with a smooth, efficient Xtronic transmission.
