Drive Safe this Memorial Day Weekend!

Did you know Memorial Day weekend is one of the biggest driving holidays in the United States?  As you head out on your road adventure this weekend, have a great time and be safe.  More drivers mean the possibility for an accident increases exponentially.  Here are some tips to keep you safe while on the road:

 

• Refrain from all cell phone use behind the wheel, no calls or texting.
• Make sure all passengers are buckled up and children are in age-appropriate safety seats
• All children 12 and under should always be in the back seat
• Allow plenty of travel time to avoid frustration and diminish the impulse to speed
• Drive defensively and exercise caution, especially during inclement weather
• Maintain a safe distance of one car length between you and the car in front of you for every 10mph of speed.
• Avoid driving while drowsy
• Designate a “non-drinking” driver – even moderate consumption of alcohol impairs reaction time and driving judgment
