- Plan ahead and allow extra travel time: If using an electronic navigation system, check the directions before leaving to make sure you know where you're going. Blindly following GPS systems can cause accidents.
- Observe speed limits, including lower speeds in work zones: Stay focused on the road, and be aware of changing traffic patterns caused by construction.
- Keep eyes on the road: When the entire family is in the car, including pets, distractions can multiply. Never allow a pet to ride in your lap while driving. And remember that eating in the car can be just as distracting as using a cellphone.
- Use safe phone habits: If making a call from the road, use voice-activated dialing or ask a passenger to make the call. Let voicemail pick up calls when driving alone. Don't text while driving, and if you must use the phone or send a text, pull off the road to a safe location.
And remember, always wear a seatbelt. Whether headed for a weekend getaway or just running errands around town, make sure everyone in the car is buckled up.
