You might be a great driver, but not everyone is. It would be wonderful if driving well meant that you were immune to accidents on the road, but that’s just not the case. Often times, other drivers are the most dangerous part about driving. It’s important that you drive safely – signal, go the speed limit, wear your seatbelt, etc. – but it's also important to keep an eye on the drivers that are around you.

In fact, being aware of other drivers is crucial to being a good driver. It doesn't matter that you have the right…

Subaru had another record year in 2014. That pushes the streak to six straight years of record sales in the U.S. market. That’s great, but after six years of increasing sales, the company is probably content, and ready to rest on laurels, right? Well, not quite. In true Subaru fashion, the company is looking to push standards and outdo what's already been done. Subaru plans on increasing sales by another 5% this year. If this goal is met, that will make seven consecutive years of sales growth!

What would you say is important for keeping you and your car safe while driving? Well, you need good tires, filled to the right pressure. You also need working brakes, and you should check your fluid levels. Your mirrors need to be adjusted correctly, and you have to be sure to practice safe driving habits.  Of course, your seat belt is crucial. All of those things are very important in maintaining safety, and if you’re playing Family Feud, they would all get you a ton of points. However, that

Driving is kind of what Americans do. In a lot of cases, it's out of necessity. The United States is the third largest country after Russia and Canada, but we rank 180^th in population density, having 84.4 people per square mile. There's a lot of open space between cities and even within towns.

People who live in the U.S. don’t bat an eye at having to drive 30 minutes to grab a gallon of milk, and road trips that extend for hundreds of miles are a big part of American culture. However, recent data…

Last year, Subaru issued a brake line recall on Foresters from 2009 to 2013, and on WRX and STI models from 2008 to 20014. If you own one of these vehicles, you probably got a recall notice and took it into the dealership right away. Keep up the good work, because you're going to have to do it again.

Subaru has issued a second recall on brake lines for the same vehicles that were recalled last year. Almost 199,000 vehicles are affected by this recall.

The reason for the recall is pretty simple. When it snows, cities and…

Maybe you've seen it in a movie, or you've witnessed some old-timer kick a tire with a furrowed brow. Then, when you’re trying to appear as though you know a lot about cars, you will squint intently at the tread, kick the tire, and move on, not really sure as to why you just did that. Yep, it's a tire.

There was a time when kicking a tire actually served a purpose. Cars weren’t always made with quality in mind. Clunkers, junkers, jalopies, whatever you want to call them, cars were often made to make…

Distracted driving is incredibly risky. Here are 10 of the biggest distractions to avoid while driving.

1. Music – Listening to music in the car isn’t necessarily dangerous, but blasting tunes so loud that you can’t hear sirens or focus on the road is. Keep car dancing to a minimum. It might be your Jam, but jam on the inside not on the outside.
2. Food – Eating while driving is a huge distraction. If you were born with three arms, you might be okay, but those of us with two shouldn't try drive with our knees while scarfing down a…
