How to Make the Most Out of Break
As everyone begins to take off today to head home for Thanksgiving, I just want to wish everyone a safe trip. I thought it might be appropriate to offer a few reminders/tips for those traveling to see family and friends:
- Give the family member or relatives you are planning to visit a call when you are on your way so that they know to expect you and can gauge your arrival time. If something were to happen, they would know this way.
- Check your tire pressure prior to leaving to ensure safe handling and traction.
- Bring a hat, gloves, and/or mittens with you.
- Keep your gas tank at a half tank or above to avoid gas line freeze-up.
- When driving on ice or snow, make sure you do not have your cruise control engaged.
- Take it slow. Driving slowly may take you longer to get home, but it will keep you safe.
- Allow for more breaking and following room between you and other vehicles. It’s winter now, so that tailgating will not fly if you hit a patch of ice!
Safe travels to everyone.
