Traveling During The Holidays?
Sample message:
Stay safe on the roads over the holidays — and every day:
-Prepare your car for winter and keep an emergency kit with you.
-Get a good night’s sleep before departing and avoid drowsy driving.
-Leave early, planning ahead for heavy traffic.
-Make sure every person in the vehicle is properly buckled no matter how long or short the distance traveled.
-Put that cell phone away; many distractions occur while driving, but cell phones are the main culprit.
-Practice defensive driving.
-Designate a sober driver to ensure guests make it home safely after a holiday party; alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription and illegal drugs can cause impairment.

Safely Sleighing Through the Season
Sample message:
🌟🚗 Rev up the sleigh and get ready for a holly jolly ride this holiday season! 🎅 As you embark on festive road trips with your little ones, let's unwrap the gift of safety together.
👶❄️ Skip the puffy jacket parade when strapping your little elves into their car seats. Though they may resemble walking snow globes, those fluffy layers can create a gap that puts safety on the naughty list. Opt for snug layers that keep them cozy without compromising their secure sleigh ride.
🎁✨ Once your little sugarplums are snug as a bug, add a sprinkle of holiday magic with a special festive blanket. It's the extra dash of warmth that makes the journey just as enchanting as the destination.
So, buckle up for a sleigh ride filled with laughter, carols, and the joy of the season. 🚗🎄 Wishing you a road trip merry and bright!
