Your Car Scent Can Make You Safer in Lundar

Here’s an important Lundar Garage travel tip that we bet you didn’t know, and it might keep you safer:

• The average Canadian commuter spends about two hours daily in their car.

• Thousands of auto accidents yearly are caused by drivers who fall asleep at the wheel.

This is from the Canada Safety Council:

"According to the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, fatigue is a factor in up to 21 per cent of motor vehicle collisions, resulting in about 400 deaths and 2,100 serious injuries every year."

Aggressive driving is the #1 traffic safety concern. So what does this have to do with how your car smells? Well, which car scent did you think makes drivers more alert? Is it: (A) Strawberry (B) New Car (C ) Pine (D) Warm Vanilla Breeze

It’s C. Drivers in MB are more alert and have less fatigue with pine scent in the car, according to AroMetrics. And drivers were less angry with overall improved driving performance with strawberry and pine scents. And you thought they just smelled nice.
