Safe Driving After Daylight Savings
Most of us love the extra hour of sleep when we get to “fall back” for Daylight Savings this time of year. However, there are a few precautions that you should take to ensure your commute home, in the dark, is safe.
Start off by dimming your instrument panel and dashboard lights. Think about oncoming traffic at night, the headlights can be blinding sometimes. Lights shining elsewhere, even in your vehicle can be distracting and harmful to your focus. Turn down all of the interior lights before you head out at night so that you can see the road and other drivers clearly.
Next, aim your headlights. A lot of drivers forget that their headlights might be aligned incorrectly. If they’re not aligned to look directly in front of you, they could be blinding oncoming drivers and those in front of you.
Lastly, before you head out, wipe your windshield with newspaper. This will help you eliminate the occurrence of glare from other driver’s headlights. What may look fine during your morning commute might be full of streaks and smudges in the evening. Taking these three things into account before driving will ensure a much safer trip.
Happy Veterans Day
Clinton Honda would like to thank each person that has served, and continue to do, in every branch of the United States Military. We work hard everyday to make our company great, and we can do that because you work hard to keep us safe. Thank you, and happy Veterans Day.
There will soon be a Research & Review page on the 2017 Honda Accord Coupe. We have put all the important information, like safety features, new technology and engine details, in one convenient spot. Before coming in for your test drive from Annandale, Clinton, Somerville, NJ; or Easton, PA, we suggest checking out this page. That way you’ll be all set to get behind the wheel.
Honda Participates in 25th Annual Ride for Kids
Brain tumor survivors played a key role in the LA’s Ride for Kids event. Clockwise from top left are:
Michelle, Heather, Amanda, Elise, Dylan, Lisa, Peter, and Inayah.
For 25 years, Honda has supported the annual Ride for Kids™ event in Los Angeles. For this year’s event, more than 600 motorcycle riders and supporters, including those from Honda’s operations in Torrance worked together to raise more than $220,000 to support the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF).
This is one cause that Honda has stood strongly behind for so long for good reason. The PBTF conducts research and trials to prevent the development of brain tumors in children. Ride for Kids™ is the most successful and longest running fundraising event, beginning at the American Honda Motor Co., campus in Torrance.
“The Honda team is passionate about Ride for Kids and this event is a highlight for our associates each year,” said Chuck Boderman, vice president of the Honda Motorcycle Division. “Sharing our love of motorsports is second only to making a difference for those families who could use some hope and help.”
If you would like to donate to this cause or see if there is any way you can help, check out the Ride for Kids website.

Have a Great Halloween
Everyone at Clinton Honda would like to say Happy Halloween to our Annandale, Clinton, Somerville, NJ; and Easton, PA customers! Have fun and be safe!
Honda Gave the CR-V a New Interior
Sometimes change can be scary, but when Honda is behind the ideas, you can almost guarantee it’ll be great. Most recently, they redesigned the interior of the popular CR-V crossover. It now has all new materials, making the seats more comfortable, an updated audio system display, and more leg room so everyone is comfortable. Check out the video below to see what you can expect in the 2017 Honda CR-V
The Honda Accord is a Great Car for Teens
Every parent wants just one thing, their children to be safe. But once they hit the exciting age of 16, that seems like an almost impossible feat. Wouldn’t it be nice to know that at least the vehicle they’re driving is working to keep them safe on their way to and from school? That’s why Edmunds.com, and we at Clinton Honda, suggest the 2016 Honda Accord.
The Accord received recognition on Edmunds.com’s list of 10 Best Cars for Teen Drivers thanks to its spacious interior, use of high-quality materials, and its safety and convenience features, that you can read more about on our Research and Review page. Another factor that put the 2016 honda Accord ahead of competitors is its IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating when equipped with Honda Sensing.
Honda also hit a home run in the Accord with teens thanks to features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. But really shined in parent’s eyes thanks to the new Honda Sensing package which is available for all trim levels.
Stop by to learn more or to take the 2016 Honda Accord out for a test drive and explore all the features first hand.

***Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s New Car Assessment Program (www.safercar.gov). Model tested with standard side airbags (SAB).
We understand that teaching your teen to drive can be both a rewarding and terrifying experience. Handing off the keys to your teen can be difficult especially when you know that at this point driving seems more like fun to them than the serious task that it really is. While it is up to you to instill the proper level of respect for driving that they need to keep them safe, we can help out by providing you with a vehicle that will help to keep them protected at all times. Edmunds.com has released a list of the 10 Best Cars for Teen Drivers and the 2016 Honda Accord was one of the vehicles to make the list!
The 2016 Accord is a midsize sedan which is ideal for teen drivers because their sedan status makes them easy to navigate for newer drivers, but their slightly larger size means that there is more vehicle surrounding your teen to help keep them safe.
“Midsize sedans are the best choice for teens,” says Tamra Johnson, manager of public relations for the Automobile Association of America. “Small cars don’t offer as much protection in crashes, sporty cars may encourage speeding or recklessness, and SUVs and pickup trucks are more difficult to maneuver and more likely to roll over.”
The 2016 Honda Accord comes equipped with standard features that include Front Side Airbags, Side Curtain Airbags, Active Front Head Restraints, and a Rearview Camera. There are also many other available safety feature options such as Blind-Spot Monitor, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, and Front Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking.
We have the 2016 Honda Accord here at Clinton Honda so stop by with your teen and take it out for a test drive today!

Money Saving Travel Hacks
If you’re someone that loves to travel but doesn’t have a big budget to go with your big plans, we have a few tips about Fall travel that could help you out! From activities to ways to be frugal with your finances, we’ve got you covered.
Take a Hike, Pick Apples, or Go Camping
Now is the perfect time to be outside. Cooler nights mean better sleeping and sunny, cool days provide the perfect backdrop to all the stunning fall foliage. There are plenty of local orchards to pick your own apples and if fall camping sounds fun, Kampground of America can help find a spot.
Save Money on a Golf Outing
Since the season is coming to an end, a lot of local golf courses will offer discounts from 20 to 50 percent off. There will be fewer people too so you can take your time while you play or even bring someone that’s a beginner.
Book Your Thanksgiving Travel Before November 1st
Starting on September 5th, airline prices will decrease. However, prices will steadily increase from October 31st on. If you’re planning on flying to see family for the holiday, do it in that window.
