Holiday
Travel Tips
T ravelers heading over the
m o u n ta in s an d th ro u g h the
w oods for the holidays should
make sure th ey ’re prepared for
w inter road conditions.
AAA O regon urges m otorists
to use extrem e caution as they
take to the highw ays and to keep
in mind som e basic safety tips.
People should get plenty o f rest
prior to taking a trip. Also, allow
extra tim e to reach destination,
carry em ergency supplies like
jum per cables, flares, flashlight,
blanket and food.
If traveling through m ountain
passes, you should carry tire
chains and know how to put them
on. You can minimize driving dis­
tractions by putting pets in ken­
nels and having gam es or books
handy in order to keep kids enter­
tained on the road. Also pull over
to use cell phones, properly se­
cure all vehicle occupants in their
seats or safety seats, be patient,
and do not drink and drive.
