HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

Many Americans travel by car for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and with the amount of vehicles on the road, safety is always a concern.  Insurance.com offers some great tips for traveling...

• Pack an emergency road kit in case of a breakdown or accident. Make sure to include a flashlight, shovel, first aid kit, flares, pen, and paper.
• Make sure to have a copy of your auto insurance card in your glove box and/or wallet/purse.
• Don't forget to pack your cell phone and car charger—you never know if you are going to get caught in traffic.
• Buckle up and watch your speed! Law enforcement will be out in full force during the Thanksgiving holiday, so make sure to take your time getting to your destination, and be sure to buckle up—it can help save your life!
• Fuel up, don't fill up. During the holidays, people tend to overeat, causing many to become sleepy. If you have a long trip home, make sure to give your food plenty of time to digest and fill up your travel mug with some coffee. If you know you will be traveling late, try putting a peppermint or cinnamon air freshener in your car. Studies suggest that the smell of peppermint or cinnamon may help drivers stay alert while traveling.
