Your Trusted Saskatoon Auto Repair Specialists
Holiday
events and celebrations can be exciting times for family and friends to get
together. As the holiday season is approaching, motorists need to be mindful of
actions that will make their holiday travel safer. Drivers can protect
themselves and their passengers by following these holiday travel rules so that
get-togethers with family and friends don’t turn into tragedies where our loved
ones are injured or killed in a traffic accident.
• Before you
start your trip, make sure your vehicle is tuned up and in good shape for
travel. This is especially important for winter driving conditions.
•Restrain
yourself and your passengers properly in seat belts and car safety seats. Remember, the rear seat is the safest place for children of any age to ride.
• Be flexible
in setting your travel plans. Leave early if you can to avoid the peak traffic
hours. If heavy snow is predicted during the time you plan to travel, change your
schedule. It is better to reschedule your get-together than to risk the lives
of travelling family or friends.
• Stay fresh
and alert when driving. Take plenty of breaks and do not push yourself to meet
an unrealistic schedule. If you get tired, pull off the road into a rest area
or business, get out of the car for some fresh air, buy something to refresh
you, or just relax until you feel revived. If that doesn’t work, find a hotel
or somewhere where you can spend the night. Forty-one percent of fatal traffic
accidents are single vehicle crashes. These crashes most often occur during the
late night/ early morning hours and the late afternoon hours to drivers who are
tired, have consumed alcohol, or both.
• Keep your
speed down. Give yourself plenty of time and distance to react to the traffic
around you. Let impatient and aggressive drivers pass you or go through the
intersection ahead of you so that you control the situation.
• Do not pass
if you cannot see enough clear road to pass safely.
• If there
will be drinking at your holiday get-together, choose a designated driver who
will remain alcohol free.
• Because
driving requires your full attention, pull off the road if you have to use your
cellular phone.
