One of the best things anyone can say about the 2018 Ford Edge is that is nothing like a sedan. Neither can it be said that it is the same as its larger relatives that burn more fuel and take up more space. There is more to this vehicle than meets the eye.

Once your child outgrows his or her front-facing car seat, chances are, they will still need a booster seat to make the vehicle's safety belt system fit correctly.

Why is a booster seat important?

If the lap belt runs across a child's stomach instead of their lap, they can receive severe injuries to internal organs in a crash. Likewise, a shoulder belt that cuts across the neck can…

Forever one of our favorites, we here at Doherty Ford have nothing but love for the 2017 Mustang, our esteemed American automaker's sports car.

And, evidently, in that opinion we are not alone.

As it turns out, carwow personality Mat Watson is also quite keen on the Mustang. Hear his take on the matter in the clip below:

Don't have an emergency roadside kit in your car? Then it's about time you got one together. You never want to get stranded because of car trouble but you definitely don't want to get stranded without anything to help you in an emergency situation. You should have an emergency roadside kit in your car at all times so that you will have the tools you need in case of a breakdown. You should have a First-Aid kit, bottled water, and nonperishable food items. You should also have warm blankets, a tow rope, jumper cables, and flares or…

Nighttime is one of the most unsafe periods to drive during. Night driving is responsible for more accidents than any other part of the day and it is important to understand how to be safer if you are driving a lot at night.

Start by making yourself familiar with where you will be driving. Using a GPS unit or studying maps can greatly solve many of the issues that you may experience when driving in an unknown area.

If you notice someone driving erratically on the road at night, then be cognizant of drunk or impaired drivers. Keep a reasonable…
