Deer can be found all over the country, and healthy deer populations are increasingly creeping into residential and urban areas seeking food and mates thanks to developments encroaching on deer habitats. This increases the chances of motorists having run-ins with deer on the roadways around their homes and places of business.

State Farm® estimates that 2.3 million collisions between deer and vehicles occurred in the United States during the two-year period between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010. That number marks a 21.1 percent increase in the number of incidents from statistics gathered just five years earlier. West Virginia and Iowa rank first and second, respectively, as the states where a driver is most likely to collide with a deer.

Vehicular crashes can cause serious damage to a car and even be fatal. According to National Geographic, the average white-tailed deer can stand at 6-feet-tall and weigh between 100 and

200 pounds. That animal stands as a formidable foe should a collision with a car occur. It may seem like one is hitting into a barrier or an impenetrable object.

Although fall, when deer are migratory and seeking mates, is the prime season for collisions with deer, collisions can occur throughout the year. The spring is when females give birth to their young, so speckled fawns may inadvertently dart across the road with mothers chasing after them. The displacement of deer habitats due to urban sprawl also magnifies the problem of risking an accident with deer.

There are certain tips that can reduce the chances of a deer and vehicle collision.

* Keep in mind that deer are most active between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. At dusk, they may be harder to see.

* Take note of posted deer crossing signs. These are erected in places where deer are most actively crossing.

* Deer generally travel in herds. So drivers who see one deer should expect to see others nearby.

* Use highbeams when driving at night to better illuminate rural areas.

* Drive slowly in areas where deer are likely to be, such as by open fields.

* Car-mounted deer whistles are not a reliable deterrent.

* Do not swerve erratically to avoid a deer collision. This can result in a collision with another car and increase risk of injury and damage.

In areas where deer collisions are prevalent, extra insurance coverage may be needed on vehicles. Therefore, drivers should speak with their insurance providers.

FUEL SAVING

TIPS

1Avoid High SpeedsAs your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km/h) vs 75 mph (120 km/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%.

4Use A/C SparinglyWhen the air conditioner is on it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used (by about 20%). The defrost position on most vehicles also uses the air conditioner.

3Keep Tires Properly InflatedKeep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%.

2Do Not Accelerate or Brake HardBy anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.

7Use Cruise ControlMaintaining a constant speed over long distances often saves gas.

5Keep Windows ClosedWindows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%.

6 Service Vehicle RegularlyProper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.

10Purchase a Fuel Efficient VehicleWhen buying a new vehicle examine the vehicle's rated fuel efficiency. Usually choosing a small vehicle with a manual transmission will provide you with great fuel economy.

9 Avoid Long IdlesIf you anticipate being stopped for more than 1 minute, shut off the car. Restarting the Car uses less fuel than letting it idle for this time.

8Avoid Heavy LoadsRemove the sand bags from your trunk in the spring and pack lightly for long trips.

“Motor City” may soon be renamed “Green City.” That’s due to the abundance of green automotive jobs that have been cropping up in Michigan, in and around Detroit. Based on a study conducted by the Natural Resources Defense Council, the National Wildlife Federation and the United Auto Workers, Michigan is home to more

than 38,067 green automotive jobs at 97 facilities. Ohio is next in line, with a total 13,753 at 28 facilities.

Green automotive jobs are growing at a rate parallel with the interest in environmentally friendly vehicles. There are more than 150,000 green jobs

in the automotive industry across the United States. Thank the increased desire for fuel-efficient vehicles for the change. Whether people are interested in fuel economy because of its effect on the planet or because it saves them money, fuel-efficient vehicles are becoming primary purchases.

Arguably no parent in the history of the

world has looked forward to the day

their teenager gets his or her driver's

license.

Though getting a driver's license is a milestone for kids, it's also

the cause of heartache for parents who understandably worry about

their teenager hitting the open road all by their lonesome. While

there's no way to keep kids from growing up, there are steps

parents can take to make a teen's transition to fully licensed driver

a little easier.

tips for parents of

teendriversTravel Tips successful road Trip

for a safe and

A good road trip can be the ultimate spring or summer experience. With the open road ahead, life’s troubles seem to melt and there’s just the oneness of the driver and the road.

For a road trip to be successful, it’s not just a matter of taking to the road and putting the pedal to the metal. There are a host of considerations to make, which can ensure safety and peace of mind when beginning your excursion. The hot sun that can bake the roadway -- and your body -- can also take its toll on your car, contributing to breakdowns. And there are other factors to be aware of.

Maintenance should never be overlooked when it comes to prepping for a road trip. At the least, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends that drivers have their tires, battery, belts, fluids, and air conditioner checked by a qualified mechanic prior to starting any long trip. But the list

does not stop there. There are many other precautions to heed before taking to the road.

Be sure to have all necessary documents on hand. Nothing can stall a road trip faster than getting pulled over by a police officer and being without your license, registration and proof of insurance. These are required documents to operate a vehicle, and it’s definitely worth a second check in your wallet and glove compartment to be sure they are where they should be.

Get an oil change.Driving long intervals can be taxing on a car engine, as can the start-and-stops associated with getting stuck in road trip traffic. Do yourself and your car a favor by getting an oil change to ensure there will be proper lubrication of the engine and that thick,

old motor oil won’t contribute to a breakdown.

Update your GPS.If you will be using a GPS device as your primary tool for navigation, update the device’s maps before departure. Roadways are always being changed, and without downloading the proper updates, you could end up driving in circles instead of moving on to your destination. In addition, many GPS models come equipped with pinpointing points of interest, or POI, such as restaurants, tourist areas, hotels, and rest stops, which should be update before beginning the trip. Follow the guidelines spelled out in the owner’s manual that comes with your GPS unit. Consumer Reports also advises knowing the local ordinances regarding GPS use. For example,

On road trips, bring along a friend so that you can share driving responsibilities and fend off fatigue.


for a safe anda windshield-mounted unit is not allowed while driving in Minnesota.

Plan who will drive when. A long road trip -- one that will be done primarily in one day -- could necessitate splitting up the trip between two or more drivers. Not only does this banish boredom, it also reduces the risk of driver fatigue. NHTSA estimates that approximately 100,000 police-reported crashes in the United States each year involve drowsiness and/or fatigue.

Protect your eyes. The weather and the position of the sun could change depending on where you are driving. If you wear glasses or contacts for driving, be sure you have them with you. Keep a few pairs of sunglasses in your car to shield your eyes from sun glare. If the sun proves problematic, pull over for a little while or try an alternate route that prevents oncoming sun on the windshield. While you are packing sunglasses, also be sure to bring along -- and wear -- sunscreen, as the sun’s rays can be magnified through the window glass.

Bring along refreshments. Frequent stops for bathroom

breaks and simply to stretch your legs are adviseable, but limit rest-stop fare whenever possible. Not only do these foods tend to be unhealthy, they are often expensive. Keep your road trip budget down by packing healthy food and drinks that you can enjoy on the go.

Keep on top of your car’s fuel level. Play it safe when gassing up the car. On rural roads or stretches of country with which you are unfamiliar, you never know how far away filling stations might be from one another. That means you should take the opportunity to top off the gas tank whenever you get the chance. This way you always will be confident you have enough gas to get to the next station. Don’t risk coasting into your destination on fumes, unless you want to arrive at your destination hitched to a tow truck.

Be wary of hitchhikers.Although hitchhikers are few and far between nowadays, there is still the possibility of coming across someone thumbing for a ride on the side of the road. Do not pick up a stranger who is hitchhiking, no matter how reputable the person may seem. If you come

across someone who has broken down, offer to call for help instead of allowing the person into the car.

Use the bathroom at every stop. You never know how few and far between restrooms will be. Unless the idea of a road-side pit stop is high on your list of road trip excitement, play it safe and use the restroom whenever stopping. Few things can make a stretch of road seem more interminable than the pressure of a full bladder.

Plan for sightseeing. Part of the enjoyment of a road trip is to actually take the scenic route and enjoy roads which you may have never traveled before. This is not a race and no awards will be given out at the end for making good time. Therefore, slow down and enjoy the scenery. Isn’t that why you’re driving, after all?

Road trips seem to be an essential part of the spring and summer season. They can be all the more fun and safe when you heed a few road trip rules of the road.
