Memorial Day weekend is just two weeks away.  As families gear up for long road trips, we recommend taking a few precautions with your vehicle to ensure a safe trip.  Here are a few safe driving tips for your Memorial Day weekend road trip. 

Safe Driving Tips:
  • Stay Calm – Almost everyone has experienced road rage, but there is no sense in getting agitated.  Turn the radio on and enjoy your ride.
  • Vehicle Inspection – Have your car checked before you leave.  Keep the air pressure in your tires up to standard and purchase new wiper blades.  This will improve your visibility, make your ride more comfortable, and make your trip more fuel efficient.
  • Use Signals – So many drivers fail to put on their signals when switching lanes or turning.  It’s important to warn the drivers around you about what you are going to do when driving.  It improves your safety and reduces your risk of getting into an accident.
  • Be Aware – Distracted driving is unfortunately common.  If you see someone who is texting or is distracted for any other reason, move a safe distance away from them.  If you stay alert, you can avoid most accidents.
