  • Situational Awareness on the Road
    Mar 20 2024

    Ever feel like you're on autopilot behind the wheel? This week on the show, Andy talks about how to ditch the robot driving and become a master of the road with situational awareness.

    Andy breaks down what it means to be truly aware of your driving environment, from spotting upcoming hazards to reading the minds (well, kind of) of other drivers. He also dives into the dangers of distracted driving (looking at you, smartphones!) and how to stay focused for a safer, smoother ride.

    So, buckle up and get ready to level up your driving skills.
