Whether you just got your driver's license recently or you've had it for years, there's always room for improvement when it comes to your driving skills. New drivers can be overly cautious or lack the experience to be skilled at driving, while veteran drivers can become complacent and lack caution. Here are four tips to improve your driving skills. Know Your Vehicle Knowing your vehicle may seem like a no-brainer, but it's important when it comes to driving around town or down the highway. Take the time to learn where all the controls are, what they do, and when they should be used. You'll also want to take your vehicle for a spin and go through braking maneuvers to determine how your vehicle reacts. Another great test for your vehicle that lets you know how it handles is to take it out in adverse conditions, such as rain and snow. Be sure that you're able to perform these maneuvers safely. more Hands on the Wheel In driver's education class, you were taught to keep your hands on the wheel in a specific position. Driver's education instructors taught us to imagine the steering wheel as a clock to put our hands in the correct position. If your class was years ago, you'll remember that as at 10 and 2; however, times and suggestions have changed. Now instructors recommend that you keep your hands at either 9 and 3 or 8 and 4. The new positioning enables you to have better stability and control while also being more ergonomically comfortable. Stay Alert and Focused It should go without saying that you need to have your full attention on the road. Eliminate distractions such as cell phones, drive-through food, or radio stations that you change for every song. Using your phone, such as texting, while driving is very distracting and illegal in almost all states. Taking your eyes off the road for even a couple of seconds can mean the difference between safe driving and an accident. Another consideration is driving when tired or otherwise incapacitated due to alcohol or drugs, including certain prescribed medications. If you can't keep your full attention on the road, you shouldn't be on it. Don't Speed Whether you're running late or just like to drive fast, going over the posted speed limit is dangerous because it drastically increases the risk of getting into an accident. It can also land you a ticket and a fine. If either of these happens to you, you're not saving any time by driving faster. Mathematically, speeding doesn't save enough time to take the chance of a ticket or accident.  If you're driving 65 mph in a 55 mph zone and cover 15 miles, you only save yourself a couple of minutes. Learn to plan to leave for your destination on time instead. The best way to improve your driving skills is to get out there and drive while following the tips above to be a conscientious driver. Slow down, keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel, and you'll get to your destination safely.

It's taking the luxury sports car class by storm. You're going to want to feel the power of the all-new 2020 Chevy Corvette. Here's why. Refined Powertrain The new generation 'Vette features one of the most dramatic redesigns of the decade. Chevy moved its fast-accelerating engine to the middle of the car, just behind the cockpit. Its stock, naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 engine is rated at 490 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.

Are you going green? If you're shopping around for an electric vehicle to reduce your carbon footprint, you'll want to discover the Chevy Bolt. It has ample passenger space, a peppy powertrain, and a new and improved driving range for the 2020 model year. Here are four reasons to love the new Bolt EV. Engine and Performance The energized Bolt is extremely quick, with ample power and immediate throttle response thanks to its 200-horsepower electric motor. This hatchback features an impressive 66-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a single-speed transmission to produce above-average MPG equivalents. Expect to travel 127 MPGe in the city and 108 MPGe on the highway. This setup gives the Bolt its superb 259-mile driving range. That figure represents a gain of 21 miles over last year's Bolt and one of the longest ranges among EVs. As far as charging, it only takes 10 hours to charge the Bolt's battery pack with a 240-volt outlet or get 100 miles of driving range in just a half-hour with the DC fast charging option. more Agile Handing The fun-to-drive Bolt EV has a low center of gravity and offers spirited drivers both agile handling and a comfortable ride. Its precise steering provides plenty of feedback from the road and the Bolt is equipped with Chevy's innovative regenerative braking system. This EV's “regen on demand paddle” allows drivers to slow the car at varying rates with Drive and Low modes. If you want your Bolt's brakes to operate like a traditional gas-powered vehicle, select "Drive" or for one-pedal driving and battery charging, use "Low." This setting slows the car down once you release the accelerator. Generous Standard Tech Features Chevy didn't skimp on the new Bolt's features list. It touts a huge, 10.2-inch touch screen that's easy to use, and comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration technology, plus the MyLink infotainment system that provides drivers with current updates such as battery usage and range information. You also get a WiFi hot spot, two USB ports, satellite radio, and a six-speaker audio system. For 2020, Chevy included higher-definition rearview and surround cameras. You'll also get the added confidence of rear cross-traffic and blind-spot monitoring standard on the 2020 Premier trim. Additional safety features include forward collision warning and lane keeping assist. Spacious Interior The new Bolt offers spacious seating for five passengers on standard cloth upholstery. It's designed with plenty of room in both rows for adults to stretch out and feel comfortable. Upgrade with luxurious amenities, including leather upholstery, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated seats. It also touts loads of cargo space for a vehicle with such a small footprint. You'll appreciate a maximum storage area of 56.6 cubic feet when the seats are folded flat. That's more than most rivals in this class. The 2020 Bolt is an excellent choice for your new electric vehicle.
