Every time you get in a vehicle, no matter where you are sitting, BUCKLE UP. (And make sure everyone else, including children, is properly restrained.) That click reduces your risk of being injured or killed in a crash by almost 50%.
Take time to have a reputable mechanic look it over. Change oil and check wipers & tires (including spare).
Stash first-aid kits and emergency items in case you’re left stranded on the side of the road.
Grab your beach wagon, dump out the sand, and head out shopping for holiday presents.
As you do, know that traffic on roads and in parking lots is heavy this time of year.
Keep your eyes up, focused on the road with your mind on driving.

If you’re going to be buying a tree, make sure it is tied down safely and securely to an appropriately sized vehicle and not obstructing the driver’s view. Protect the tree, your vehicle, and all those around you!
December is a big holiday month. Make it a #SeasonOfSafetyFL.
If you hit the road to visit family or have a night out to celebrate the end of the year, make sure you give the gift of safety – in vehicle road readiness and in safe-driving behavior.
