Stay safe on the roads over the holidays and every day:
Prepare your car for winter and keep an emergency preparedness kit with you
Get a good night’s sleep before departing and avoid drowsy driving
Leave early, planning ahead for heavy traffic
Make sure every person in the vehicle is properly buckled up no matter how long or short the distance traveled
Put that cell phone away; many distractions occur while driving, but cell phones are the main culprit
Practice defensive driving
Designate a sober driver to ensure guests make it home safely after a holiday party; alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription, and illegal drugs can cause impairment.
