Please be careful out there on
the roads this long holiday weekend. The National Safety Council, an
organization formed in 1913 and is a nonpolitical group that does not
contribute to or support any political party or candidate, calculates that 582
people may be killed on the roads during the upcoming 4th of July holiday
period. They also cited that an additional 66,900 may be seriously injured in
crashes. This is the highest estimate the Council has issued since 2006 for a
four-day July 4th holiday period.
Attentive driving, coupled with
putting down your smart phone while driving, can help make the roads out there
safer. Safe travels for all of those out there who are hitting the highways and
roads this weekend.
