Well it’s almost that time of year. Once officially kicked off with the cutting of the turkey next Thursday, holiday season will be in full swing. This means delicious seasonal foods, the joys of gift swapping, and great times with friends and family. However it is important to remember that holiday season notoriously brings about a rise in accidents on the road – but that it only takes a few easy safeguards and a little bit of common sense to protect yourself.
If you plan on doing some traveling, make sure that your car is compliant with the standards of the Massachusetts Inspector General. Having your fluids topped off and your breaks in good working order can make all the difference when traveling down New England’s ice covered roads. Having tires with good tread depth is also key in regards to maximizing the control and responsiveness of your vehicle.
When attending a holiday party or any other festivity where there will be alcohol, make sure to always designate a sober driver. Although always important, this consideration is of paramount significance during the harsh climate of a Massachusetts winter. Also remember that others may not be as responsible as you, and to leave extra car lengths between other vehicles and yourself, especially late at night or if a car appears to be driving suspiciously.
