Gobble, Gobble!!

Many people will be on the highway traveling this week. Whether you're joining us at the Daytona Beach Street Rods' Turkey Run in Daytona or heading out to visit family, here are some tips to keep in mind*:

Engine, oil, tires. Before you start your trip, make sure your vehicle is tuned up and in good shape for travel. This is especially important for winter driving conditions

Buckle up! Ensure that you and your passengers are properly restrained in seat belts and that children are secured in car safety seats. Remember, the rear seat is the safest place for children of any age to ride

Know your route. Be flexible in setting your travel plans. Leave early if you can to avoid the peak traffic hours. If heavy rain or snow is predicted during the time you plan to travel, change your schedule. It's better to reschedule your get-together than to risk the lives of your travel companions

Stay fresh and alert when driving. On long trips, take plenty of breaks and don't push yourself to meet an unrealistic schedule. If you get tired, pull off the road into a rest area or business, get out of the car for some fresh air, buy something to refresh you, or just relax until you feel revived enough to continue
Keep your speed down. Give yourself plenty of time and distance to react to the traffic around you. Let impatient and aggressive drivers pass you or go through the intersection ahead of you so that you control the situation.
Pass safely. Do not pass other cars on single-lane highways if you cannot see enough clear road ahead to pass safely.
Have a sober driver. If there will be drinking at your holiday get-together, choose a designated driver who will remain alcohol free
Hands off the mobile device! Because driving requires your full attention, pull off the road if you have to use your cell phone

Can You Help?

Toy Drive - Bring toys, bikes and learning games to support this years toy collection at the Downtown Winter Garden Cruz-In. The collection continues on the third Saturday of November and December.

Winter Coats and Jackets - As we move into the fall and winter, many people in our local area will not have jackets and coats to stay warm during colder months.  Butch and I went through our closets last weekend and found gently worn jackets to donate to a local Winter Garden charity collecting them to distribute to those in need.  If you have any coats your would like to add to our collection, bring them with you to the Downtown WInter Garden Cruz-In next week.
