Image
With more and more new vehicles coming equipped with blind spot detection, no one really needs to worry about reducing their blind spot… right? Wrong. Although this technology can help make the roadways a safer place to travel, it's still a good idea to be able to physically see if there is a car next to you before changing lanes. Your trusted car dealer in Mid-MO has provided some helpful steps to take in order to reduce your blind spot, helping to make the roadway a little safer for everyone. A blind spot is a point where a person’s view is obstructed. Typically used when referring to a vehicle, a blind spot is a place in which a passing car “disappears.” Blind spots can cause a number of accidents on the roadways.

Unfortunately, hundreds of pets die every year from being left alone in parked cars. Our Lake of the Ozarks car dealership wants to make sure that this tragedy does not happen to your pets.The more you know, the easier it will be to avoid this type of disaster. Just like children, pets should never be left unattended inside of a vehicle. You may think that they will be fine for a minute or two while you run indoors, but a lot can happen in a couple of minutes. Excessive Heat The inside of a car, even with a window cracked, is much hotter than the outside temperature, and that heat rises quickly after the car is turned off. After only 10 minutes, the inside temperature can already be 20 degrees hotter than it is outside, and every single minute that temperature keeps rising. Parking in the shade does not keep the insid...
