Be Safe on the Road this Thanksgiving

by

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite tips to help keep you and your family safe while traveling this weekend.

  • Limit distractions and buckle up.
  • Make sure to get enough sleep the night before a long trip. Caffeine and energy drinks will only help temporarily.
  • If you must pull over, make sure your vehicle is entirely off the road. Never park on the shoulder or in the breakdown lane unless it is an emergency.
  • Know the laws of cell phone use in different areas. This will become especially important as you cross state lines.
  • Refill at the quarter line instead of E. Keeping your tank at least one-fourth full the entire trip will come in handy during long stretches between gas stations.
  • Never drink and drive. Just one alcoholic beverage is all it takes to cause an accident.

Happy Thanksgiving & Be Safe!
