How to Properly Use Your Seat Belt

Always fasten your seat belt before stepping on the gas. Also make sure that all passengers are using proper seat belt or child restraints .

If you are in a crash while using seat belts, studies have shown that your chances of surviving are greatly reduced. Seat belts will move with you and lock up during a crash.
They also keep you from being thrown out of the vehicle and against parts inside of the vehicle.

To ensure proper uses of a seat belt: 
                                

• The lap belt should be positioned across the upper thighs and the diagonal belt should be positioned across the chest. 
• Make sure your belt fits snugly against your body and never slip the diagonal belt behind your body.

If your car have the lap belt but not the diagonal belt or vice versa, return the car to your dealership or a qualified repair shop for further assistance.

Four Best Snacks For A Road Trip

                                                  

Nuts

Peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, almonds or seeds, such as pumpkin or sunflower, are good combinations of healthy fats and protein. Although nuts are packed full of protein, fiber and healthy fats, keep portions small: Just 14 almonds or 20 pistachios equals 100 calories. Also keep sodium levels in check by choosing unsalted varieties.

                                      

                                         

Energy Bars

Consider replacing your favorite candy bar with an energy or granola bar to boost your protein and fiber intake while avoiding the sugar trap.

                                   

Trail Mixes

Trail mix is a quick and easy make-at-home snack that will keep well in a storage container with lid. Combine granola, raw nuts and seeds, and dried fruits for a basic trail mix.

                                    

Sandwiches

Sandwiches can be a quick and easy way to keep hunger at bay while adding some good protein and hearty grains to your daily nutrition. Sandwiches prepared with lean meats may need to be placed in a cooler. Other options such as peanut butter (or any other nut butter) and jelly on whole grain bread can be kept at room temperature.
