1. Automobile accidents New York: Tips for a safe
commute this holiday driving season
Automobile accidents New York, during this season or any others, the roads
will be packed with motorist going home or to a relative's to spend quality time
with their loved-ones.
With some many people on the road, the holiday motorist should take some
extra precautions to ensure they make it to their destinations safe and sound.
First, ensure that your car is ready for the long commute. Have is serviced for
oil, lube and filter and ensure the tire pressure is correct. Also make sure you
have emergency equipment such as a first aid kit, blanket, flashlight, and
candles (which can keep you warm if you're trapped in your car).
Second, make sure you get a good night's sleep before your long drive. Sleep
related collisions happen more than you think. Countless automobile accidents
New York or any other place could be prevented if drivers could afford
themselves at least seven hours of sleep each day.
Next avoid drinking alcohol. This should be obvious, but it's hard to say 'no' to
a drink from a friendly face around the holidays, and so if you do accept a
glass of wine of a beer.
Don't over-do it if you have to drive later in the day or evening. If you think
you have had more than the local legal limit allows, plan to stay the night or
have someone who isn't drinking drive for you.
If you will be driving with children, make sure you have an appropriate child
seat or restraint, depending on their age. The same rule of thumb applies for
those who will be traveling with pets this season. A single automobile or
anywhere else is a tragedy, but is compounded where there are children or any
other passengers in the vehicle.
Another thing to keep in mind is that no matter how prepared you are, there
are other motorists who will not be. Or worse, there are some who have no

didn't make the roads dangerous enough, weather conditions in many parts of
the US this time of year can make driving treacherous.
It's always important to be prepared, but equally important to be aware of all
motorists around you. This can be the deciding factor in preventing automobile
accidents New York or any other part of the country you are driving in.
Happy holidays, and a safe commute for you and your loved ones.
