There’s no doubt about it—life can be complicated at times. It’s estimated that the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions each day. Fortunately, you can always rely on expert advice from AAA to help simplify life’s journey.
As the weather improves, many families tend to roam farther from home. And when adventure calls, it’s important to know that your house and belongings are safe. That’s why more AAA members are choosing AAA Smart Home Security.
With customized camera and sensor packages and a dedicated 24/7 Arizona-based monitoring team, AAA Smart Home Security gives you the freedom to travel with confidence. You can either install the system yourself or with the aid of a trained professional. For more information, please visit AAA.com/smarthome or call (844) 938-3256.
As you protect what matters most, you’ll also want to safeguard your financial future. Did you know that AAA members have access to free credit monitoring benefits through Experian? AAA members can also choose from two additional plans with a small monthly fee. I used the Essential plan for years and recently upgraded to the Complete plan which provides our highest level of protection. Visit AAA.com/idtheft to learn more and to select a monitoring plan that meets your needs.
Some of life’s most important decisions take place behind the wheel. According to new research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, just 35% of survey respondents qualify as “Safe Drivers” based on their self-reported driving behavior. Most United States drivers admit to engaging in at least one risky activity on a regular basis.
With warmer temperatures come faster speeds on America’s streets and highways. Please make safe driving your highest priority and always wear your seat belt. Remember, your driving choices have a profound influence on teens who will likely follow your example.
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. As you prepare for another year of family vacations and weekend getaways, please eliminate the distractions—including your cell phone—and stay focused on the road. Delegate navigation and communication to a trusty copilot.
Of course, it’s best to hit the road without breaking the bank. To conserve fuel, avoid peak traffic congestion and bundle your everyday errands where possible. Consider carpooling, taking transit, walking or bicycling. Being efficient is good for your budget and the planet.
AAA membership is your passport for friendly automotive advice. With 7,000 AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities in North America to choose from, trained professionals are ready to help keep your car in excellent condition. For a shop near you, visit AAA.com/autorepair.
