In this scenario, car leasing seems a fair better way to make your dream of owning a car true. At first leasing offers purchasing flexibility: it allows you to defer the purchasing decision while using the car. Provided you can keep the vehicle in good condition and stay within the contracted mileage allowance, you’re effectively getting a test drive for the length of your lease.

At the end of your lease, you can purchase the vehicle or simply turn in the keys and walk away. No questions asked.

Well, how the idea of lease fits in lifestyle concern is very simple. Many people of working as well as business class are not comfortable with the idea of owning a vehicle over a long period of time. These are people who’re more concerned about trends and latest model cars. They want to drive the latest models every two to three years and may be every year.

If you’re also one of those geeks who want to enjoy latest models, leasing might suit you best as it gives you the convenience. You can have the latest technology and safety innovation in little amount, and small installments every month. Once you’re bored with the ride and switch to a new car, you can go for the other option, and selling your leased car at good market price.

• Slow down when it’s raining or snowing.
• Leave enough distance between your car and the one in front of you normally and increase this distance further in case of bad weather.
• If the precipitation is heavy, try to get off the road.
• Always have an emergency kit in your car, especially in the winter time.
• Always have your cell phone well charged before going to drive in unusual weather.
• Always keep a first aid kit with you in your car.

Speeding, cutting in and out of lanes, improperly passing, paying more attention to the radio than to the road, etc are some common observations on road. You might also have observed people trying to drive while eating or talking on a cell phone. These are the concerns where you’re completely helpless; you really cannot control any of these.  So, all you’re left with is ‘defensive driving’.

While driving on a busy highway or a calm road, assume that all others are either blind or don’t know driving, and you’ve to keep yourself and your car safe. Staying alert and having precautionary measures doesn’t have any drawback but lacking these may cause a great remorse.

You might have heard or read that it’s fine to use a cell phone while driving if you’re using a hands free setup, but that isn’t true either. It might help you physically concentrating on driving but your mind is still not free. While you’re having a conversation on a cell phone it’s impossible to have full attention on driving.  It’s best not to make any calls or answer the phone while driving.

Having calls during driving is really too unsafe. If you think there’s too important call and you cannot miss it, best is to stop on a side and answer.

The trend of eating and drinking while driving is a real car safety hazard. Many people are of the opinion that it’s handy to eat fast food while driving and it doesn’t have to do anything with focus on driving. But actually it’s not like this. Just think for a moment that every other person on road is having fast food in hand and driving……

Fast food is sloppy and messy and at times hot and so can cause you to lose control if you drop it. Soft drinks are ice cold and can spill, having the same effect. Even without spills you just cannot control a vehicle as well with a drink in one hand. So, be realistic and avoid eating and drinking while driving and if you’re really too hungry, take out five minutes, park the car and eat!

• Before driving make sure that you had enough sleep. Have a good night sleep before going for a long road trip. And if you drive in routine, maintain a proper sleeping schedule.
• Take a 10- to 15-minute break to exercise, stretch or walk briskly after every 2 hours you drive.
• On long drives, let someone else do a share of the driving.
• Your body needs nutrition to stay alert, so eat regularly to keep blood-sugar levels even.
• Drink coffee or tea (or another form of caffeine) for a temporary fix.
• Avoid medicine that makes you drowsy.
• Learn recognizing drowsiness, i.e. if you keep yawning, your head nods, your mind wanders, you feel eyestrain, or your eyes want to close or have trouble staying focused. In all these situations you need a break from driving.
• Take a nap if you’re sleepy, even if you can’t get to a bed.
