Memorial Day Safe Driving Tips
-Refrain from all cell phone use while behind the wheel.
-Buckle up every time you get in the car, even if you're in the back seat, and make sure passengers buckle up too.
-Seat children in age-appropriate safety seats, and make sure children under 12 years old are always seated in the back seat.
-Consider traffic and plan for extra travel time to avoid the temptation to speed.
-Be cautiously aware of other drivers and drive defensively, especially during poor weather conditions.
-Make sure you're rested before you hit the road so you don't drive while you're drowsy.
-Always have a designated driver. Even moderate consumption of alcohol can impair your reaction time and driving judgement.
