Summer vacation time is over. The kids are back in school. If you are one of the millions of people who have to commute back and forth to work each day, you know how much more crowded the streets are about to become. Even with knowing how monotonous the drive can get, \u00a0you never know what may happen. Being prepared is the best way to ensure your safety each day. So we\u2019ve compiled these tips to keep you safe and save you time as you commute every day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPlan around traffic
\n<\/strong>Stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic and need to find a way around your normal high traffic commute route? To avoid staring at brake lights for hours, check out Google\u2019s traffic mapping on your desktop.<\/a>\u00a0As well as an iPhone or Android<\/a> units for alternate routes.\u00a0 If you commute within a larger city, try a service like Commuter Feed to find a way around traffic jams.<\/p>\n

Use a GPS
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for the most detailed maps, and spoken traffic alerts, use a Garmin nuvi Advanced Series 5\u201d GPS Navigation System<\/a> from Buydig.com during your commute. This GPS device will give you details about traffic alerts and how long of a delay to expect. You\u2019ll never have to worry about being out of cell range. It does not rely on cellular signals and is not affected by cellular dead zones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Radar detectors
\n<\/strong>When commuting, you try your best to stay within the speed limit. It can be easy to focus elsewhere and lose track of\u00a0just how fast you’re going. We all have moments at some point when we look down at the speedometer and think, “How did I get going this fast?” With an Escort Passport S55 High Performance Radar and Laser Detector<\/a> you will know if a police officer or state trooper is nearby so you can adjust your speed accordingly. The main benefit of a radar detector is to make you aware of an officer in the area who is using an active radar device. When you have confirmed the presence of an active radar signal, you can be sure to check speed and reduce if necessary, and avoid the speeding ticket.<\/p>\n

Invest in a dash cam
\n<\/strong>Dash cams like the ArmorAll Universal HD Dashboard Camera<\/a> from Buydig.com are essentially protective\u00a0devices. A dash cam can\u00a0provide invaluable information about a crash or incident you experienced on the road. It could be a lifesaver.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nU.S. commuters spend an average of 50 minutes in their car each day, and that leaves a lot of room for improvement. Make the most of your commute with these 10 tips.<\/p>\n
