Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, New Years. There are so many sales, deals, and packages that make it irresistible to buy that one thing you have been saving up the entire year for. You have legitimately been waiting for that extra 10% discount to buy that gift. However, this is the same for everyone as well. Hundreds to thousands of people will be buying gifts, even during this pandemic, and the best way to stay safe is to be aware not only while shopping, but most importantly, while driving to the shopping malls.
During these times, there are more drivers on the road than ever trying to buy their families and themselves gifts. Staying safe on the road is an imperative and something that everyone should have in mind especially when holiday shopping. Here are a few tips:
Top 3 Ways To Avoid Accidents During The Holidays
Doing your part to keep out of car accident is quite simple. Although it is extremely difficult to control the actions of other drivers, it is easy to do your part to make sure that you are upholding YOUR duty to keep the roads safe.
Don’t Text and Drive
Our car accident lawyers understand. Your family might be calling while you are driving, maybe they gave you a list of things to buy for the holidays and you have to see before you get out to shop. However, we want to tell you that it’s not worth it. Those few seconds might cost you weeks to months of rehab. In almost all states, texting and driving is seen as illegal because of how distracting it is to the driver. You will quite literally have to take your eyes off the road to respond to the text.
Stay Aware of Other Drivers On The Road
Being a good driver is not about just you being a good driver, it is also about being aware of the other drivers and the conditions. Especially in Miami there are aggressive drivers, slow drivers, drivers that just flat out suck at driving, it really is a variety of drivers that we must keep in mind. Always make sure to use your sideview and rearview mirrors. In addition, make sure that your blind spots are covered too. Some of the most gruesome and avoidable accidents happen because someone didn’t check their blind spots.
Don’t Drink and Drive
As obvious as this sounds, lots of people drink and drive ESPECIALLY during the holidays. Thanksgiving, Noche Buena, and New Years are occasions to drink and enjoy life. This doesn’t mean that you should drive intoxicated. No one (not even you) deserves to be the victim of a drunk driving accident. Drunk driving can lead to devastating injuries to BOTH parties and possible even death. Alcohol has many properties that slow down reaction time, thus driving intoxicated can give you slow reaction time to pedestrians, other drivers, and other things on the road that can be easily detected and avoided if you have not been intoxicated.
