Turn 21 today

Today’s tip will not only help you save on gas but will also help keep your passengers from wanting to puke.

Keep looking down the road and anticipate what traffic will do.

You can do a much better job of controlling your jack rabbit driving by simply paying attention to more than the car directly in front of you. By keeping your eyes down the road, you will be able to better prepare for slowing traffic (you’ll know when you hit the breaks or when to go ahead and coast), stop lights, stop signs, etc.

By not constantly going back and forth between your brakes and accelerator and doing a better job of anticipating driving conditions, you will save a bunch on your gas.
