Land Rover Roaring Fork wants everyone in Glenwood Springs to understand some important tips for sharing the road. Bicyclists, motorists, and pedestrians all use our roadways today. Here are some important safety reminders.

As a driver, remember that bicyclists and pedestrians are more vulnerable to road hazards. You should give them plenty of space, and always pass in safe areas while reducing your speed. You can also scan the area around you to make sure there aren't any other possible threats for bicyclists. Try to anticipate any difficulties that may arise.

Once considered a tough workhorse vehicle, the new Range Rover now offers a plush, luxurious cabin with all new technology options. The new tech goodies include a 10-inch touch-screen, Touch Duo Pro infotainment, Bluetooth, USB ports, WiFi hot spot, GPS navigation, satellite radio, and driver safety features.

Every Range Rover comes standard with leather seats, heated leather steering wheel, and a beautiful wood-veneer trim. When you move up to premium trims, you also get massaging seats and heightened hidden-until-lit steering wheel switches. You can customize these switches 

The Land Rover made a variety of different Discovery trims to suit every driver who wanted off-road and on-road adventures with amazing horsepower. The new fine-tuned designs and aluminum body make it more stable on any terrain, but it’s the only luxury midsize SUV of its kind to have these options. In addition, Land Rover announced that it was designing the Discovery Sport to include upgraded tech and a 48-V mild hybrid powertrain feature.

In the base edition of the Discovery, you’ll get 340 horsepower, supercharged engine, and off-road gear.

Long roadtrips call for a vast repertoire of fun games that will keep passengers busy and drivers sane along the way. Whether you are trying to entertain small children, teenagers, or adults, there are many roadtrip game options that everyone can partake in. Being prepared for which games you plan to play along the way is also a great preparation tool that will set you up for success.

One game that is well-loved by passengers old enough to identify letters of the alphabet consists of finding each letter of the alphabet on road signs that you travel by. Beginning with…

 When you properly clean your car, you will also realize the benefits of keeping the tires clean. Whenever the rubber meets tarmac, tires and wheels must grab dirt and grime. They also collect a lot of brake pad dust. Road salt and brake dust are some of the few threats that shorten the life of car tires.
 
Most tire manufacturers and dealers always recommend cleaning the wheels at least once every week. They help them remain at their best and look attractive while on the highway.

You do everything that you can to stay safe on the road. You drive safely and get the scheduled maintenance. However, emergencies can still happen while you are on the road. You should have an emergency kit with you at all times. It is relatively inexpensive for you to put together an emergency kit. Your roadside emergency kit needs to have the following, first aid kit, cell phone charger, refillable gas jug, duct tape, jumper cables, non-perishable food, water and a small fire extinguisher.

You should get off the road when you have an emergency. 

Hydroplaning represents a potentially catastrophic situation for drivers. Once a car loses control due to slick roads, crashing into another vehicle, a tree, or a divider becomes possible. Taking steps to reduce the chances of hydroplaning seems smart.

Traveling on days when it is rainy won't work in favor of those wishing to avoid hydroplaning. If driving on wet roads proves unavoidable, driving in a slow and controlled manner could improve safety. Drivers may find it wise to stay away from puddles and to keep clear of outer lanes. Outer lanes tend to experience water accumulations.

If you should find yourself on the side of the road with a spare tire, you'll likely find one of two types of spares in the back of your vehicle. We'd like to share the difference between these types with our Land Rover Roaring Fork customers.

You've probably heard the compact temporary spare tire referred to as a donut. This spare is smaller in size than your normal tires. It's meant to be a temporary measure and should be replaced as soon as you can get to a service station. Also, take care not to drive…

Why should you be paying closer attention to your engine's timing belt? It is actually possible for your car's engine to experience a substantial decrease in power in the case of an improperly functioning timing belt. This is due to the fact that the valves, pistons, camshaft and crankshaft cannot move in harmony without the use of the aforementioned timing belt.

Vehicles manufactured in recent decades will include a standard rubber-built timing belt. However, vintage vehicles will not. They, instead, will include a metal chain-like component. 100,000 miles is the replacement 

All Range Rover models have been upgraded to include some of the best modern conveniences and technology features.
