The holidays are upon us and that typically means more traffic on the roads. Whether you’re visiting family, attending a holiday event or going to a party, you want to take some simple precautions to maximize your safety on the roadways in Maryland this holiday season:

  • Take your time—Plan ahead, so that you have plenty of time to get where you’re going without driving too fast or rolling through a few corners.
  • Buckle up—Seat belts make a big difference in a collision. It only takes a second to dramatically increase your safety.
  • Make certain you maintain your vehicle—Don’t drive in winter weather on poor tires. Make certain your brakes are in top shape and don’t run the risk of a breakdown.
  • Know where you’re going—Many accidents are caused when drivers are unfamiliar with the roads
  • Don’t drink and drive—If you want to enjoy some Christmas cheer, have a designated driver
  • Stay off the mobile devices while driving—Distracted driving is a virtual epidemic…don’t catch the bug!
