Top 5 Labor Day Safety Tips for Driving
Labor Day can be one of the deadliest days to hit the road. If you choose to travel this holiday weekend, do so responsibly. Utilize the following 5 safety tips for safe driving:
- Drive sober. During the Labor Day period, 38 percent of traffic fatalities involved an alcohol-impaired driver. Stay safe on the roads this holiday by avoiding alcohol and other impairing substances while driving.
