Thanksgiving is almost here, and many of us will be hitting the road to spend time with family and friends. With heavier traffic, changing weather, and holiday distractions, this weekend is one of the busiest â and most dangerous â times to travel.
Before you head out for turkey, pie, and time with loved ones, take a moment to review these Thanksgiving travel safety tips to help you arrive safely:
1ď¸âŁ Plan Ahead & Leave Early

âď¸ Check weather and road conditions
âď¸ Plan alternate routes
âď¸ Avoid speeding or risky driving to âmake up timeâ
2ď¸âŁ Avoid Drowsy or Impaired Driving

âď¸ Switch drivers if you get tired
âď¸ Never drive under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that impair alertness
3ď¸âŁ Stay Focused â No Distractions
Distracted driving is a leading cause of crashes.
âď¸ Set your GPS or playlist before you start driving
