Plan Ahead 

Make sure that you plan ahead for that long trip to Grandma’s. There will be a lot of people on the road, so driving earlier may be a good way to get there on time. You should also pack up the night before or straight away in the morning so that you can leave when you want to and you’re not in a rush. 

Watch out for Traffic 

Traffic can be terrible around the holidays. Watch out for traffic jams and construction on your way to your destination. Listen to the radio or watch out for traffic alerts on an app to make sure that you won’t be delayed.  

Hazardous Weather 

Sometimes bad weather can put a damper on holidays. Whether it’s rain or snow in the northern parts of the country, the weather can impact your holiday celebration. Remember to slow down and focus on the road so that you can see what’s ahead and adapt quickly to any challenges.
