Smelling Safe? 

Smelling Safe?

If your car smells really nice, it could save your life. Other than replacing your worn auto parts with auto parts from Auto Parts Fast, hanging that pine tree shaped air freshener unto your rearview mirror could save your life.

Seriously folks. At least that’s what I’ve just learned from these two guys, Ray and Dan.

The two cited a study conducted by the Wheeling Jesuit University saying that if you drive a pleasant smelling vehicle you are less likely to exhibit symptoms of fatigue or road rage.

Here’s what Ray and Dan have to say about this:

When you take into consideration that the N.H.T.S.A. (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) reports more than 100,000 accidents per year are the result of drivers falling asleep and that Triple A says the number one traffic concern today is road rage, this study might not be as silly as it sounds.

The study showed that pine scent improved a driver’s awareness thus decreasing fatigue and that pine and strawberry scents decreased aggression making it less likely that a driver would experience road rage.

Okay, that makes sense. But well, let’s just hope that the other drivers on the road do not have rotten tuna sandwiches lurking underneath their car seats. Otherwise – they can be really dangerous.
