Driving in Gander – Tips to keep you on the road.
KEEP THEM BUCKLED UP.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death and injury to children in Canada. When children are using an appropriate car seat, they are well protected with a minimized chance of injury due to an accident. Knowing a child’s height and weight before purchasing a new car seat is important, and there are multiple laws regarding which seats are appropriate for children of different heights, weight and ages. Be sure to know if your child is protected before hitting the road.
FOG MEANS FOCUSED.
Newfoundland means fog, and Gander is no exception to the towns that can be hit by this extremely dangerous weather condition that is often underplayed. Drivers should slow down as driving at normal speeds in fog can be very dangerous. Slowing down means more time to react to traffic stops and potential hazards. Also, motorists should avoid using high-beam headlights in fog as fog consists of tiny water droplets that spread and reflect light. Low-beams should be used to help vehicles to be visible to one another. And last, always remain focused. Turn down the radio, stop conversations and keep attention on the road.
AVOID THOSE DISTRACTIONS.
Newfoundland implements multiple laws regarding distracted driving. Follow the law and set yourself some guidelines to follow as well. Vow to not multi-task, keep kids and pets buckled in and secured in their areas, plan your route before you go and even try to avoid reaching for something that has been dropped in the car. All these guidelines can keep you and your passengers safe as you navigate the streets.
STRONG WIND MEANS SPECIAL CONSIDERATION.
Though wind may not seem like a significant risk but Newfoundland is known for its high gusts of winds through all seasons. Drivers need to take care when driving through areas prone to strong winds or when weather reports predict severe weather. Also, motorists should notice larger vehicles such as tractor-trailers as they are much more susceptible to high winds. And drivers should always keep a firm grip on the wheel as strong winds have the ability to push moving vehicles.

6 Tips To Shop Safely Online
Today is Cyber Monday, and it feels like every website has incredible deals. Shopping online makes it easy to find the best sales and avoid going to busy stores! However, shopping online does come with some cyber risks. So it is essential to take steps to protect yourself anytime you enter personal information online.
1. Use Familiar Websites – Do you know the site you’re visiting? Use a trusted site. Knowing the site and the business makes you more likely to shop online safely. If you are not sure if a site is legitimate, maybe it’s a new small business, call them to verify.
2. Only Shop HTTPS – Never buy anything online using your credit card from a site that doesn’t have SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption installed. You’ll know if the site has SSL because the URL for the site will start with HTTPS – instead of just HTTP.
3. Don’t Overshare – Consider what information a company needs for you to make a purchase. Even if the purchase transaction is safe, well-established companies can still experience data breaches.
4. Check Statements Regularly – Don’t wait for your bill to come at the end of the month. Go online regularly, especially during the holiday season, to view electronic statements for your credit card, debit card, and checking accounts.
5. Only Shop Online with a Credit Card – If your debit card is compromised, cybercriminals will have direct access to your bank funds.
6. Use Caution When Shopping Online on Public Networks – Be extra careful when shopping on public Wi-Fi or hotspots, as they are not always secure and are easier to hack. In addition, if you are at your local coffee shop doing some holiday shopping, be aware when you have to enter the credit card number, expiration date and 3-digit code into a site because you’re giving an over-the-shoulder snooper plenty of time to copy the information.
When in doubt, do your research, call the business, look up their online reviews, or check their status on the Better Business Bureau.
