Car Buyer Safety Tips From Coastwide Driving

What do you do when you get your licence from the fantastic team at Coastwide Driving (the best driving school around)…that’s right – time to go car shopping – and if you are like me – my first car was (very) second-hand..

I was fortunate to have my Dad along to help with my choice – and boy did I need the help – what I thought was the best for driving pleasure – would have probably fallen apart on the highway…however, since the Internet explosion….things have become so much easier for us to decide on the perfect driving vehicle!!

So do you know what to look for when buying your new car?

For ultimate driving safety – why not start off by checking out howsafeisyourcar.com.au – on this website, you can enter the make and model of your car or you can search a car by size and find the ANCAP driver safety rating. You can also head to Queensland Transport and the ACCC – they provide simple, but important tips to check off when buying the right car for you….and last but not least – be sure to check our friends over at RACQ – here they offer tips on sourcing insurance and delivering the right advice for all first time drivers.

Buying a car need not be stressful….using the suggested tools should give you something to think about – and hopefully set you on the path to happy car hunting.
