As the holiday season approaches, beyond controlling your vehicle for optimum efficiency and safety, you’ll also need to be more conscious of your surroundings.
Here are a few reminders for your drivers:
- Traffic is heavier during average business hours by stressed or rushed drivers.
- Be especially concerned of cars entering and exiting the roadways, which causes many quick lane changes as people try to move from one strip mall to another.
- People text and use apps while behind the wheel over 30% more during the winter holidays compared to the average weekday.
- Be on the lookout for people on their phones who are not paying attention. You will have to pay extra attention to them to keep you safe on the road.
- Parking lots are particularly risky during the holidays as pedestrians, as well as drivers, are often distracted and rushed.
The message is clear. Keep a safe distance, watch your speed, and be aware of your surroundings. This will help eliminate evasive maneuvers that can result in accidents or incidents.
