It is estimated that 36.1 million people are gearing up for a trip of some kind this weekend. That is an increase of 1.5% from last year which saw 35.5 million people traveling during the holiday weekend. This year may in fact be the highest number of people on the move.

Due to this reason, our Michigan car accident lawyers at the law firm of Goodman Acker, P.C. would like to provide some travel safety tips to keep you and your family safe this weekend.

Even if you did not plan on travelling far, just sharing the road to run an errand right around the corner from your house can be dangerous due to the amount of drivers on our Michigan roads and highways. Car accident can happen at any time and to anyone.

Here are some safety tips that can help prevent involvement in a Michigan car accident:

  • Be well rested and alert before traveling

  • Always wear your seatbelt, that includes all passengers inside the vehicle.

  • Infants should be safely secured in car seat (make sure to check out the Goodman Acker PC YouTube channel to see how to safely put a car seat into your vehicle)

  • Observe speed limits and follow the rules of the road

  • Full attention on the road. Avoid distractions such as cell phones

  • Leave ample room when behind other vehicles

  • Use caution in construction work zones

  • Make frequent stops when travelling long distances

  • Make sure to turn the vehicle's headlights on as dusk approaches, or during inclement weather

  • Use high beams on rural roads unless approaching or following a vehicle

  • Make sure the air pressure in your tires is up to standard for safety

  • Make sure you boat registration number is displayed properly on your boat so that enforcement officials know the boat is properly registered. If it not registered, you need to get it registered. The law requires it. You can do this through Michigan Secretary of State.
