It seems they’ve got a month for almost everything – Bring Your Dog to Work Month; Eat Plenty of Hummus Month, Brush Your Teeth Month. Well, now someone has gone and named August Road Safety Month. Well, that’s the case according to CarParts.com, which has piggybacked onto the occasion to promote the sale of car parts.

A Web search to find out more about the ‘holiday’ found that CarParts is right, there are announcements of Road Safety Month – in the Philippines, Jamaica and Uzbekistan, though not necessarily last month.

In a way, every month is road safety month. Who would wish it to be otherwise?

Having a road safety month is a good way to remind people that the rote process of operating a vehicle becomes decidedly less mundane when involved in an accident. It’s a way of suggesting that, as you get in your car, it wouldn’t hurt to reflect on the importance of good driving habits. And CarParts.com isn’t too far off either.

Is your vehicle ready to operate on the roads safely? Bad tires and alignment, worn steering and suspension components, brakes that don’t brake – these are all potentially hazardous conditions that can take safe driving out of the hands of the driver.

Here at Performance Unlimited, we hope everyone had a safe and happy summer and we hope that level of safety continues throughout the year.
