Maintain a safe speed.
Cruise control is your friend on long holiday trips. Stay at a safe speed and don’t rush, it only takes a few seconds for an accident to occur.
Check road conditions before you leave.
Snow and ice can complicate a holiday road trip so be sure to check the weather conditioners before you leave your home for your destination. MoDot can be a great resource for this.
Get maintenance done before you take a long holiday trip.
Make sure your oil is changed, your tires are in good shape, your transmission fluid is at the optimum level, etc. – before you leave. There is nothing worse than being stuck on the side of the road in the middle of the holiday season.
