But, since most of us don't bother with that anymore, American manufacturer Ford decided it would announce ten resolutions for us. Not for them (“be a better company,” “don't go bankrupt”), but for you, me and any other driver.
We'll list Ford's resolutions below, but before we do that, we'll tell you that they're all pretty much about safety behind the wheel. So if you still plan to text and drive or not use the seat belt, move along to the next article on autoevolution, please.
- click it, even when you're not worried about a ticket – the seat belt, of course, not the on button of your phone.
- keep your eyes on the road, not on your cell phone, avoid unnecessary distractions - necessary distractions, like kissing the girl or the right seat, are allowed
- read a good book, like your owners' manual – yes, good books indeed, owner manuals; finished ours, can you lend us yours?
- scrape that ice, ice baby! - or keep driving blind, with the windscreen covered in a white blanket
- find out how technology is working to keep you safer – maybe it's time, years since their inception, to learn what those nasty acronyms like ABS or ESP mean.
- learn how to parallel park, or buy a car that does it for you – and since you're at it, learn to drive, or find a car that can do it for you.
- listen to your mother, sit up straight - stop driving stuck to the wheel, head leaned forward
- check your pressure on all four tires, and the spare - as you know, tires are meant to work inflated
- take a cue from the Boy Scouts, be prepared - arm yourself, winter will be long and cruel
- 4, 3, 2 ... If you're counting down to the New Year stop right here - avoid tailgating using the two seconds rule.
