Keeping Your Car Organized

 Most of us are extremely busy everyday. Rushing to school, work, errands, and other activities can take up a lot of our time. That means we don't always have time to clean out our cars. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to keep your car interior clean and organized? Below are a few ideas to help rid your car of clutter. 

1. Use a remote control holder as extra storage inside your vehicle. You can store craft supplies, snacks, and much more while keeping these items within reach.

2. Hang a backpack off the back of seats for increased storage space. We recommend storing games, snacks, books, and a first-aid kit.

3. Use a cereal catcher as a trash can for the inside of your car. The locked down lid will help prevent any spills from happening if the road ever gets too bumpy.

One great part of living on the West Coast is wide open drives and miles of road to cover from the Southern Border up to Washington. Making a long distance drive through the Southwest means traversing many different landscapes, and the desert poses one unique challenge for drivers: dust storms.

So what do you do if you a driving along, and the next minute you are inundated in a wall of dust? Luckily, the answer is easy and it will help keep you safe until the wind and dust pass.

1) Begin to slow down after checking for traffic around you.

2) Merge off of the highway, making sure that you are no longer in a traveling lane.

3) Turn off all your vehicle lights and engage the parking brake.

4) Stay in the vehicle and keep your seat belt fastened in case of a collision.

5) Wait for the storm to pass and merge back onto the highway.
