With holiday travel around the corner, law enforcement agencies are bracing for heavy traffic and taking steps to help the public avoid road accidents. They have shared crucial safety tips for drivers and home security recommendations for those planning to leave their city.
Preventing Road Accidents
The agencies have asked the community to be extra cautious while driving to prevent accidents. The primary recommendation is avoiding distractions behind the wheel, as distracted driving is the leading cause of accidents in the US, particularly in the state of Texas.
Vehicle Maintenance
Drivers are also urged to thoroughly check their vehicles prior to travel. This includes inspecting tires and engines to ensure they are in good shape before hitting the road.
Home Security During Holidays
Besides road safety, the agencies also stress the importance of home security for those leaving the city. They advise against announcing travel plans on social media to prevent potential home burglaries. Instead, they recommend making arrangements with a trusted person to pick up mail packages at home during the absence.
Final Reminder
As a final reminder, authorities emphasize the importance of buckling up before hitting the road to ensure the safety of all passengers. They remain committed to assisting the public and ensuring a safe holiday season.
