The holidays are a fun time to spend with friends and family, and for many of us, that means long road trips to reach our loved ones. Even if you think of yourself as a cautious driver, you’ll need to pay extra attention to the roads this time of year. Take a look below at some tips for driving safe this holiday season!
Prepare your car ahead of time
It never hurts to give your car a thorough lookover, and there’s no better time than before you’re about to go on a long road trip. Check the oil, fuel, and tire pressure levels and make sure everything is operating as it should. Pack extra blankets, food, and water as well in case you find yourself stranded.
Check the weather report before you leave
It’s important to know what you’ll be encountering before you encounter it. This will help you determine if you need to leave a little earlier than you planned to get to your destination on time.

Get plenty of rest
Holiday activities can take a lot out of a person, so if you plan on heading out later that night, be sure you’re well-rested and ready to go. Give yourself some time to sober up as well if you’ve been drinking.
Be attentive of other vehicles on the road
Even if you’re well-rested and sober, some other drivers may not be. Always use caution while driving in heavy traffic conditions around the holidays. If someone around you is driving aggressively, let them pass you. Report any instances of reckless driving around you to help keep the roads safe for other commuters.
The holiday season is supposed to be relaxing and fun, and the last thing you want is to be unprepared for whatever catastrophe may come your way. Learn more tips and tricks here on our blog!
