When it comes to picking the ideal car for your needs, knowing where to start the search always helps. Today, though, most people usually don't have the cash spare or the immaculate financial profile needed to land a loan today. To help you out of that problem, you can find all the help that you need waiting for you with a lease.

The good news is that there are a few simple steps you can take to keep yourself safer on the road:

1. Don't use your phone while driving. If you have to make a call, make sure to link your vehicle's hands-free system ahead of time if it's equipped with one. Do check your local laws and regulations on what's allowed.

Springtime brings rain and the after effects of winter weather - potholes and uneven pavement. Keep these driving tips in mind before you travel:

• Spring showers bring May flowers - and wet driving conditions: Slow down on slick roads, and increase your following distance even when mist begins to fall. Just a small amount of water can mix with oil and grease on the road to create slippery conditions.

• Understand the impact of medications on driving: For many people, spring means seasonal allergies. Over-the-counter allergy drugs can have side effects or interact with other medications to diminish your driving ability

Bring a bowl, and water
