But with the right vehicle, and a few key tips it doesn’t have to be. Let's begin with the vehicle. A teenage driver needs something with flash, performance, and safety. It just so happens that Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has the car with all three. The 2016 Dodge Dart is the perfect car for a teen anxious to get on the road.

Plus, with 10 standard airbags and exceptional crash-test ratings, it holds the driver’s safety first and foremost.

This means the car detects when you are approach with the key fob and automatically unlocks. So no more fumbling to find your keys! Once on the road, whether it’s a long trip to the beach with friends, or a quick ride across town, there are a few tips that can maintain a safe travel for all those involved. First, there are the basics. It will be tempting in your new 2016 Dodge Dart to drive fast, but adhering to the speed limit is crucial. After all, excess speed is one of the main causes of teenage accidents. Check your mirrors, know your blind spots, and always be aware of your surroundings. Next, there are things that come with experience. Never slam on the breaks while driving on ice, snow, or water. Don't trust blinkers. If another car shows sign of turning, wait until it actually turns before moving. And never ever text when behind the wheel. It can always wait until you are parked and the vehicle is turned off. Now it's time to enjoy the feeling of cruising down the road with windows down and the radio up. In Mount Airy, NC, we want our teens to be safe in our community. Making sure your teen driver is in the right car will give you a little more peace of mind. Written by Andrae Bergeron CCP Web Design Staff Writer Mount Airy Dodge contributor

When Dodge first came out with the Durango, over fifteen years ago, its body-on-frame construction was modeled after the Dakota truck. The Durango was a truck/SUV crossover that won over drivers with its rugged demeanor and semi-sporty shape. Over the years the Dodge Durango made slight alterations to design and construction, but it never lost its toughness. Today's 2015 Dodge Durango model, however, has managed to combine its hardy physique with a touch of something more refined and sophisticated, creating a furrowed luxury difficult to find anywhere else. The 2015 Dodge Durango is created from the very same architecture of the Mercedes GL-Class and M-Class, as well as the Jeep Grand Cherokee --- this is where high performance meets luxury and comfort, making the new Dodge Durango truly a unique combination, something you have to experience. Under the hood, the Durango carries either a speedy V-6 engine or a substantial HEMI V-8. Both engines are offered in all-wheel-drive, and both are more than capable to handle heavy tow-loads and easy traction through rough terrain. And, to be sure and not drain the tank, the Durango comes with Fuel Saver Technology--- a torque-based system that manages to deactivate cylinders when they are not needed without hindering performance. It is this type of innovative thinking that can be found at every turn in the new Durango, keeping drivers very happy. Inside the new Dodge Durango feels less like a truck than any of the models previous and more like the cabin of a more luxurious, higher-class vehicle. Surfaces are soft and flow from corner to corner, while the leather upholstery, along with the white trim rings on the dials, sets off a tasteful minimalism in color. And the superior placement and design of the seats and armrests allow for optimum comfort. Please call your local Dodge Dealership in Mount Airy for a test drive.
