Just wanted to take the time to remind everyone to drive safe this holiday season. Here are some tips for safe driving during the holidays:
Plan ahead: Leave early to account for heavy traffic and bad weather.
Drive sober: If you plan to drink, designate a sober driver or plan to stay the night.
Buckle up: Seat belts reduce the risk of dying in a car accident by about 50%.
Avoid distractions: Put away your phone and avoid texting, eating, or looking at a GPS.
Drive defensively: Let impatient drivers pass you and avoid slippery roads.
Take regular breaks: Get enough sleep before driving.
Check your vehicle: Make sure your lights, tires, and other components are working properly.
Use winter tires: If you're driving in an area with snow and ice, consider using winter tires.
Carry a winter driving kit: Keep a scraper, shovel, blankets, and emergency supplies in your car.

Enjoy the holidays and be safe everyone.
