Summer Driving Safety Tips
Summer brings sunshine, road trips, and unfortunately, a few extra hazards for drivers—especially those logging long hours on the road. Here are some essential tips to help you stay safe and cool behind the wheel:
- Check for storms, tornadoes, and flooding before your route. Always have a backup plan.
- Check each state’s DOT site and avoid high-traffic times—or reroute if needed.
- Check coolant levels and make sure the A/C works during your pre-trip inspection.
- Bring water, eat well, and get good rest to beat the heat.
- Protect your eyes from UV rays with high-quality shades.
- Summer means more travelers. More kids out. Budget extra time, stay alert, and update your ETA when needed.
