While hybrid and smaller cars are becoming more popular due to ever-increasing gas prices, there is still a good chance many new drivers will face the challenge of operating a large SUV or truck. These vehicles can often make parents of new drivers feel a little better about their teenager driving it because the size of the vehicle will hopefully help protect them in an accident.

Two problems that face new drivers in large vehicles is the lack of visibility and inability to judge the size of the vehicle. When these two are combined, teenagers are often left in difficult situations that can easily cause damage to their own vehicle or people or property around them. Rear View Safety encourages teens and new drivers operating large vehicles to get a lot of practice in potentially difficult situations in a controlled environment. Practicing reversing, parking and other difficult maneuvers in an open area will help prevent more serious accidents later. Backup camera systems are another easy way to add visibility and extra safety to a vehicle for new drivers.

Before the weather turns to chilly, there is still plenty of time to make plans for a great fall camping trip! With the leaves changing, the cool and crisp mornings and ideal temperatures for hiking and being outdoors, this transitional season offers a great chance to escape the city life and enjoy an adventure in nature.

Camping with a family or group of friends often necessitates the use of a trailer that will hold all of your equipment and gear or filling up the back of an SUV or pickup truck with gear. Both of these cargo carrying options make backing up and reversing more difficult than normal and Rear View Safety has a few tips to make starting your camping adventures safer and easier!

• Practice with an empty trailer and someone to help guide you before loading it up on the day of the trip. Trailers require some practice and getting used to how they move in relation to your steering wheel is not intuitive.
• If you are unsure of how to navigate a difficult reversing situation, have someone help. Have a passenger get out and help direct your movements to remove some of the difficulty.
• Utilize a backup camera system to give yourself lots of visibility which is key to safely moving your vehicle.
