Before you hit road to celebrate with friends and family this weekend, be sure to stay safe by following some simple travel safety tips.

Motor experts recommend these tips to help you enjoy your last days of summer fun:

  1. Tune-up your car – Check your oil and tire pressure before you hit the road. This will ensure your safety and give you better gas mileage.
  2. Plan ahead – Be sure to bring maps or use a reliable navigation system to get to your destination.
  3. Avoid peak travel times – Leave early in the morning to avoid rush hour traffic. Avoid leaving late at night when you may be too tired to drive.
  4. Take precautions – Lock your car doors when you stop, even if only for a minute, and be sure to only stop in well-lit areas where there are many people around.
  5. Avoid road-rage – Be a defensive driver to ensure everyone’s safety on the road.
  6. Bring travel snacks – This will save you time and money.
  7. Stretch your legs – Stop at parks along the way, especially if you have children in tow, to stretch out and enjoy the scenery.
  8. Use clean facilities – For bathroom stops, avoid gas stations. Fast food restaurants usually have clean facilities.
  9. Don’t push your limits – If you have any doubt in your mind that you’re too tired to drive, don’t. Stop and rest or let another capable driver take the wheel.
  10. Don’t drink and drive – If you’ve been drinking, don’t drive. You could risk your life or the life of someone else. If you’re driving late at night, be on the lookout for drunk drivers.
