Holiday Driving Safety Tips
Since, the holidays bring increased traffic to the road, staying safe is imperative. As a result, here are some driving safety tips to help keep you safe as you join the holiday traffic.
- Always Drive Sober – Driving under the influence of alcohol continues to be a factor in auto accidents. Which seems to spike during the holidays. So, celebrate responsibly and plan ahead. Either use a ride-share service or make sure you have a designated driver.
- Wear Your Seatbelt – Because, in Florida, it’s the law. Also, because wearing a seatbelt saves lives. So, everyone in the car should wear a seatbelt or applicable child restraints.
- Avoid Driving While Tired – Driving when you’re tired produces effects like the effects of alcohol. Furthermore, the National Sleep Foundation found driving after being awake for 18 straight hours has effects equal to a .05 BAC. Considering, the BAC limit in Florida is .08% or more you want to avoid driving without sleep.
- Don’t Drive Distracted – Activities that take your hands off the wheel and eyes off the road putting you at a higher risk of an accident.
- Maintain Your Car – Keeping up with routine maintenance will not only keep your car running but it will help keep you safe. Because brakes and tires are essential to your car’s handling. And, your safety on the road.
