| Avoid the pitfalls of potholes |
| Chances are, if you've driven on a New England road, you've come across a pothole or two. These pesky holes can be a real beast and do a serious number on your car if struck, so be vigilant this spring while you're out and about: |
| |
• |
|
Steer clear. If you can do so safely and have enough time and space, maneuver around a pothole. The best way to minimize damage is by avoiding the pothole altogether. |
| |
• |
|
Drive slowly. If you're on a road infested with potholes, drive slower than usual and leave plenty of distance between you and the car ahead of you. |
| |
• |
|
Brake slowly. Unfortunately, some pothole collisions are inevitable. If you're about to hit one, slowly reduce your speed rather than braking harshly upon impact. |
| |
• |
|
Inspect after impact. If you've struck a pothole, make sure your car is A-OK afterwards. Potholes can affect everything from your car's alignment to its steering, so watch out for signs of damage following a collision. |
|
| And don't forget that if you spot a pothole, report it to local officials. |

| Think green for spring |
| Did you know that in Connecticut, it's illegal to idle your vehicle for longer than 3 minutes? Apart from the issue of legality, an idling engine also has financial, environmental and health implications that you might not be aware of: |
| |
• |
|
It's a waste of money. One hour of idling burns about 1/5 of a gallon of gas. It actually costs more to let your engine run than it does to turn it off and back on. |
| |
• |
|
It's harming the environment. One gallon of gas burned releases 20 lbs. of carbon dioxide into the air - a major greenhouse gas offender. |
| |
• |
|
It's compromising your health. Pollutants emitted from an idling engine are linked to some serious diseases, like cancer and chronic bronchitis. Yuck. |
| |
• |
|
It doesn't solve much. You aren't doing yourself a favor by "letting your car warm up" for a few minutes on a cold morning. This is actually ineffective. |
|
| This spring, have a green conscience and think twice before letting your engine run when it doesn't need to. Head to the Plymouth Rock blog to learn more about states' anti-idling laws and to calculate how much money you could save by idling less. |
