CLEVELAND -- The July 4th celebration means fireworks, hot dogs and road trips as the summer holidays kick off with a bang.
Unfortunately, these festivities far too often turn out to be deadly for many people who hit the road.
A recent article published on Insurance.com, “Top Ten 4th of July Driving Tips”, outlines a selection of safety suggestions intended to keep drivers and pedestrians safe this holiday.
“July 3rd and 4th are two of the most dangerous days on the roads, and statistically we see a spike in auto-related injuries and deaths,” said Dave Roush, CEO of Insurance.com, in reference to data provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
“But by following basic concepts such as obeying speed limits, and never drinking and driving, we can all do our part to increase road safety,” said Roush. “This is especially true during the 4th of July holiday. Families are out on the road together, viewing fireworks, attending parties and get-togethers and Insurance.com wants everyone to enjoy this great time of year safely.”
Tips for safe driving on the 4th of July include never drinking and driving, making sure everyone in a vehicle is wearing seat belts, and being aware of your surroundings when driving at night, especially when traveling to and from firework displays.
