Long Beach Auto Repair Center Keeps Drivers Safe After Daylight Savings Time
November 7 is the end of daylight savings time this year. Your Long Beach auto repair center advises you to take extra precaution during this time of year to keep you, your family, other drivers, and pedestrians safe.
According to studies by the National Road Safety Foundation (NRSF), car accidents increase when daylight savings ends. This is due to having more darkness during peak driving times, combined with a lack of concentration and vehicles that aren't safe for night driving.
You can ensure that your car is ready for the extended hours of night driving by having your local Long Beach auto repair experts inspect your car's lighting system. This includes headlights (both low and high beams), brake lights, tail lights, parking lights, backup lights, turn signals/emergency flashers, and interior lights. If any of these components aren't working properly, you're putting yourself and other drivers in danger.
Your Long Beach auto repair center recommends the following end of daylight savings safety tips:
Regularly check all lights: Take a few extra minutes once a month to do a quick inspection of your lighting system.
Make sure your headlights are aimed correctly: This is one of the most important aspects of lighting safety. Check your car's service manual or bring your car to the Long Beach auto repair specialists to inspect and properly aim your headlights.
Limit use of high beams: Using your high beams increases the time you have to react to road hazards, so use them wisely and never when you can see the headlights of an oncoming car.
Keep your headlights clean: If your headlights are dirty, you're taking an unnecessary risk when you drive at night. Take a few extra seconds at the gas station to wash your headlights and taillights, especially during wet weather.
Clean or replace your windshield wipers: Don't forget to clean your windshield regularly to eliminate grime that may decrease your vision. If your windshield wipers are worn, your Long Beach auto repair professionals can quickly replace them and get you safely back on the road.
Pay extra attention to pedestrians: According to a report by the American Journal of Public Health, pedestrian fatalities quadruple just after daylight savings time goes into effect. As we all get used to the time-change, beware of pedestrians who may not be paying attention during dusk and peak evening driving hours.
If you haven't had your vehicle's lighting system checked in the last year, now's the perfect time to have it thoroughly inspected by the Long Beach auto repair center. Simple proactive measures such as keeping your headlights clean and properly aimed can help you avoid an accident at night.

It's hard to purposefully sing so off key, assuming one can actually sing in the first place. So, yeah, hats off. The 1:00 min guy? Jeebus! :) "Don't get mad at me. You don't tell me shit."
