Safe Holiday Driving Tips

Our cars often turn into a mobile home during the holiday season.  They are filled with car games, snacks, blankets and pillows.  We do everything from eat to apply makeup on our way to our family members' houses and on the ride home those seats turn into beds.  Traveling during the holidays is not always easy, especially during the winter months.  Snow and rain provide unsafe weather conditions combined with freezing temperatures. Keep these safety tips in mind when you venture off on another holiday road trip this year!

• Go for a tune up. Before you venture off on a road trip make sure your car is working properly.  Have your tires, battery, belts and fluids checked by your mechanic.
• Get a good night's sleep.  Driving while tired is unsafe in any kind of weather.
• Double-check your car seats. If you are traveling with children make sure the car seat is installed properly. 
• Keep the weight down. Store the heavy presents low to the ground so they are not thrown in the case of an immediate stop.  The same goes for suitcases or heavy bags.
