At Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC , safety is our number one concern, so here are 7 tips new drivers should keep in mind while on the road to keep them safe. 1. Remember to buckle up ALWAYS. Not only is it the law to buckle up, but seat belts have been proven to save lives. However, the message is not getting through to young adults.
