That glorious autumn month of fall foliage and pumpkin spice lattes, of cool, colorful walks in nature and getting ready for full-blown winter.\u00a0 And of course, for Americans, the end of November means we\u2019re about to enjoy the lovely, food-filled holiday of gratitude\u2026Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve spent any time in the United States around this holiday, you will already be aware that Thanksgiving is <strong>the <\/strong>busiest time to travel out of the whole year. There are more folks flying, bussing, training, and driving now than any other time.\u00a0 With higher numbers of people going home to family, visiting friends, or just using this time off for a quick getaway, roads in the U.S. are jam-packed.<\/p>\n<p>And with more volume of vehicles filling our highways and byways, it\u2019s smart to go into the holiday and the surrounding travel days equipped with some handy tips. Because in addition to our title and tag expertise here at <a href=\"http:\/\/etags.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eTags,<\/a> we\u2019re also pretty into road safety. Hence, we\u2019ve compiled for you a list (you know us and our lists) of things to keep in mind when heading out across town or across the country over the holiday season.<\/p>\n<h2>Here are the key safety elements to bear in mind:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Maintenance. <\/strong>Before anything, before packing up the car and filling the gas tank, before mapping your route, you want to make sure your car, truck, or SUV is road worthy.\u00a0 Are the brakes ok? Are your fluids clean and at good levels?\u00a0 How\u2019s the tire pressure?\u00a0 Are the windshield wipers in good condition? How about your head and taillights? Are your turn signals working?\u00a0 These are all necessary to ensure a safe passage and help avoid unnecessary incidents.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24793 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-800x400.jpeg\" alt=\"Car mechanics\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-800x400.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-1160x580.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-1536x768.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-2048x1024.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-120x60.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-90x45.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-320x160.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-560x280.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-1920x960.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_790870073-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/400;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flexibility.\u00a0 <\/strong>Stuff happens.\u00a0 Circumstances like traffic, construction, road closures, the sheer number of cars all trying to \u201cget there\u201d can slow down or totally change your plans.\u00a0 For the sake of your sanity &#8211; and probably your passengers\u2019 sanity too &#8211; it\u2019s a good idea to give yourself extra time, some built-in padding in case you\u2019ve got to pivot or reroute.\u00a0 And adding that leeway can be a blessing, allowing you to still arrive on time even if you do encounter delays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seatbelts. <\/strong>This is true all year round, but especially now when weather conditions can include, rain, sleet, snow, hail\u2026you name it.

We know, you might show up late to your mother\u2019s house. But practicing patience and mindfulness during busy drive times can really help you avoid rash and impetuous decisions. Rather than speeding, tailgating, or overtaking other cars unsafely as a way of reacting, pausing and considering a response can mean your safe arrival to your destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rest. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve got a big trip ahead of you, make sure you are alert, awake, rested.\u00a0 If you\u2019re driving on your own and start to feel tired, pull over! Take a break. Stop for a coffee or a snack, maybe.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got a co-pilot, share the driving duties with that person.\u00a0 Having another driver can allow for each individual to rest and then return to the wheel refreshed. Either way, an alert driver is the safest driver, and that means not driving fatigued.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sobriety. <\/strong>A few drinks, one puff, slightly buzzed: these are all too much influence to get in the driver\u2019s seat. We know, Thanksgiving is a time of celebration, and that often involves alcohol and for some, THC.\u00a0 But if you\u2019ve had either of these things, you\u2019re probably not fit to drive.\u00a0 Have a designated driver. Call a taxi. Be okay with staying over for the night rather than driving while your senses are impaired.\u00a0 This ensures both your safety and the health and well-being of all other passengers, drivers, and pedestrians on the road.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24794 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Designated driver\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_345973910-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Attention. <\/strong>You see that sign posting a speed limit? Well, it\u2019s there for a reason. Observing and maintaining speed limits as they change over different roadways helps keep all drivers safe.\u00a0 Speeding, especially when streets are busy, can have disastrous effects.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Stay within the speed limit and stay safe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Vigilance. <\/strong>While you may be extra careful on the road this holiday season, other folks may not have the same safe driving standards. Keep an eye out for swerving cars, erratic driving, sudden braking, and speeding. Keeping your vehicle at a secure distance from that other guy is just as important as any other safety practice you adopt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus. <\/strong>Anything that takes your attention away from the road and away from the task of driving can be a threat to your safety, as well as the safety of any passengers, nearby vehicles ,or pedestrians.\u00a0 That means all the things that distract people: calls, texts, emails\u2026any apps that draw your focus away from safe driving.\u00a0 Listen: it can wait! Whatever is coming at you while driving, if it\u2019s not on the road, it can probably wait until you stop driving. Get there safely, then respond\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And there it is, our list of the top safety tips for Thanksgiving Driving.\u00a0 In truth, these are elements that could and should be adhered to any time of the year, not just during the holidays. But because of all the extra folks out driving now, it\u2019s nice to remind ourselves how to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24795 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Happy thanksgiving\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/AdobeStock_231378384-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From our whole team here at eTags:<\/p>\n<p>Have a Wonderful, Safe, Happy, Grateful Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, it\u2019s been a beautiful November.
