This is the time of year when many families are planning their summer vacations. If you're going on a road trip, the last thing you want to worry about is your family's safety. Here are some tips to keep everyone safe so that you can enjoy your vacation without incident.
1. Make sure everyone in the car has their seatbelt. If you have a child in the vehicle, they should be well strapped in their car seat.
2. Never text and drive! Pullover to answer calls or texts; it's not worth it. This is the cause of many accidents in the U.S. Drivers often assume that they can multitask.
3. Never drink and drive! Pullover to get an Uber if necessary.
4. Keep track of how much gas you have left to avoid running out at night or in an unfamiliar place.
