AC Dealers

As a service from your local NJ dealerships to keep drivers safe on the road, we wanted to bring a new study to your attention. Did you know that blinking is a sign of being bored or tired behind the wheel? It’s true. This isn’t to say that you shouldn’t blink, but if you blink more than you normally do, it could be a sign that you should pull over until you feel more energized.

The average person blinks about ten times every minute when they are not overly tired or bored. If you blink more than that, it could be an indication of inadequate sleep. This means you can self-analyze your ability to keep driving by monitoring your blinking.

According to David Williams, a chief executive at GEM Motoring Assist, blinking is a “built-in early warning system that gives us the opportunity to head for the nearest motorway service area or other refuge from the road before our driving becomes erratic and potentially dangerous.”

Your local NJ dealership wants you to be safe behind the wheel. If you’re feeling tired or fatigued, pull over and get some rest or take a brisk walk. You can even pull into your local Nissan dealer and look at all the new vehicles on the lot. If that doesn’t get you revved up, nothing will!

In 2010, Chevrolet dealers will see something exciting. General Motors plans to release the Chevrolet Volt in 2010. The Chevrolet Volt will be an all-electric car, and will run entirely on a lithium-iono battery pack.

General Motors tested the waters for the Volt via the World Wide Web. at the website GM-Volt.com, New York neurologist Lyle Dennis has been compiling names of potential buyers for General Motors’ first electric car.

The list of potential buyers shows that people all around the world are interested in an electric car. The list includes names from 46 countries, as well as the United Staes. The biggest percentages of potential buyers for the GM Volt are in California, Texas, Florida, and Michigan. Buyers are willing to pay more than $30,000 for the Chevrolet Volt.

The Chevy Volt will be battery-operated, an it will also be rechargeable.

It’s not exactly going where “no man has gone before,” but your nearby Nissan dealers NJ offer the Nissan Frontier for your driving pleasure.

The Nissan Frontier has been a popular mid-size truck for more than a decade. Nissan hasn’t made too many changes to the basic features and body of the Frontier, but that’s because it’s a quality vehicle.

With the 2009 model year, though, you might see some exciting new features on the Frontier at your Nissan dealers NJ. The PRO-4X off-road trim level is one of the bonuses. This model offers skid pans for the oil pan and transfer case as well as state-of-the-art Bilstein shocks and 16-inch alloy wheels with BFGoodrich shocks. Once you sit on the inside and take it for a test drive, you’ll appreciate the steering wheel encompassed in leather with red stitching. Chrome accents also abound throughout the interior. Drivers can also choose heated power seats, heated mirrors and other features that make this pickup truck a major contender in its market.

Of course, the best way to experience everything that the Frontier has to offer is to visit your local Nissan dealer and take one for a drive. Try one today and see why pickup trucks are here to stay.

At your local Chevy dealer, we’re concerned about you. We want you to know what to do, on the road, to reach your destination safely.

Every year, countless cars are totaled in accidents. In addition, many people are injured or killed along the way. The most common phrase people say after a collision is, “I didn’t see the other car.” The fact of the matter is this: if you see the other car, chances are good that you will be able to avoid the crash.

Inattention is one of the most common causes of car accidents. Whether it’s distractions, fatigue, daydreaming, sleepiness or another reason, people often lose sight of the importance of what they are doing when they’re driving.

A motor vehicle is a dangerous weapon. Paying attention to your driving allows you to avoid hazards in the road, know which direction to go, when to stop, and, most importantly, be aware of other cars around you.

So, how do you keep from distracted driving? For starters, you treat driving as a solitary task. You have one purpose when driving, and that is to get to your destination safely.

Beyond that, you try to avoid distractions. We always think about phone calls when we talk about distracted driving, but a conversation with your passengers can be even more distracting. Make sure you’re devoting your attention to the road and not other people.

If tropical storm Gustav turns into Hurricane Gustav, your Nissan automobile dealers could be affected. That’s why the automaker is making plans to prepare its assembly plant in Mississippi near the Gulf Coast, according to Fred Standish, a company spokesperson.

The nearest plant to Gustav’s path is located just over 200 miles north of New Orleans in Canton, Mississippi. That Nissan plant is the one that produces a large number of Altima sedans, but it also manufactures many minivans, SUVs and pickup trucks. This is also the same plant that was damaged during Hurricane Katrina three years ago. For nearly three days, the Canton plant was shut down. “We learned a lot from that experience and are setting up accordingly,” said a Nissan spokesperson about the current preparations for Gustav.

Some of the preparations for the Canton plant include emergency alarms to warn employees in case of approaching dangers, plans to contact local radio stations so they can inform the community of plant closings and phone numbers so employees can call and check the plant’s status. Nissan is also cleaning up any loose debris around the Canton plant for extra safety in high winds.

This doesn’t have to stop you from visiting your local Nissan dealer, though. If the weather is good where you’re at, why not consider getting a new or certified car from one of the Nissan automobile dealers near you?

Well, we knew that it would happen.

Eventually, when you raise gas prices high enough, people will start to drive less. According to a report from AAA cited at CNN, this past Labor Day holiday proves just that.

Over the past year, the average price of gas around the nation has risen more than $.70, and some experts say that’s just the tip of the iceberg. These high gas prices are dramatically affecting how much people drive. In some parts of the country, the tourism industry is suffering because people just don’t want to have to fill up the tank.

Not only are people driving less, higher gas prices are having other unintended consequences. Public transportation rates are at an all-time high, and many metropolitan areas are struggling to keep up with the demand. In fact, public transportation rates are the highest they’ve been in the past 50 years.

High gas prices also prompt people to drive slower. Driving slower uses less gas, down to a certain point. Instead of driving 70 MPH on the Interstates, some drivers are driving as slow as 55 MPH, which is causing traffic difficulties in some areas.

The problem is that many folks just can’t afford to change their driving habits. They might have a long commute to work for example, or they may have to travel for work. For these folks, a more fuel efficient vehicle is an absolute necessity.
